My grandfather has had multiple strokes in the past 2 years and his health is continuing to decline. My mother thinks she's the only person allowed to be stressed about it- including her sister. I know that it's her father, but she's saying I'm not allowed to be as upset as her when suddenly my grandfather doesn't recognize me anymore. At least he still knows who she is.
I have a coworker who manages to blame all her work problems and errors on me. Not a week goes by that she doesn't throw me under the bus to her customer, blaming my department for some error she caused herself, profusely apologizing on my behalf while CCing me. The worst part is she believes her own hype- that despite all the phone calls, emails and explanations, she still sincerely believes the mistakes stem from me, not her own errors. Everyone else- including our boss- knows she's in the wrong, but no one will say anything to her because she's one of the top sales reps, so she's going to continue to get away with it.
I've been stuck 2 Metro stops from home for as long as it took me to write up this post. I'm hungry and tired and I want to go home.
