Rose-Tinted Ramblings

My Blog. Generally Intended for Reading-Not Eating!.

Rose-Tinted Ramblings

** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **

A Little of What You Might Expect & A Lot of Everything Else that You Don't!.

My writing style for my blog is invariably 'snarkastic'. This is because I am a nice, unassuming and quietly-spoken person IRL-and this blog is where my innermost moments and torments happen. Trust me, I am no exception to that delightful rule.

Greetings!

Welcome to my THIRD blog here on WDC. A re-incarnation of my earlier version of my Blog, here "Insanties and Sensibilities" this v.03 should prove to be equally...challenging and hopefully, entertaining. That said, life often weaves through our writing in mysterious ways, and this Blog will probably prove to be no exception to that. We are very likely all quite different, yet the same, us writers and our collective little whims, fascinations and insecurities.

Some sunshine would be very welcome here too. I'm sure the warmth and change of scene will do you good.

Your medical treatment sounds very efficient and I hope it will prove effective. I wish someone would offer to investigate my hubby's immune system.

Good result on the letter and again may it prove to be to your advantage. Hope you're mellow by now.

"Springtime is Paris" is chilly this year and the north wind isn't helping any.

Relax and do indeed get your vitamin D higher. That is more essential than we realize.

Good news about your HR dropping by. Isn't it nice to know that people do indeed listen to you and that your impressions are being taken seriously?

Goodness it's warm there! It hit around 86 today, I wasn't thrilled. Especially considering I had to wear jeans out to hide my fuzzy legs, as I ran out of shaving gel AND lotion, and we're not getting paid until next week. *Sigh.*

Glad everyone is looking out for your well being and insisting that you take some well deserved time off! And I'm glad you're up at the Mountain House with R and Beanie! Sounds like it's going to be a relaxing weekend!

Also glad to hear that your letter made an impact, and more importantly, an impact that will benefit all (except for the offending employee) involved.

Seems you've really been going through it and I hope things will soon be on the up on all counts.

Oh goodness Annabel, that's so scary about your health! I hope they can find a way to get you on track, and have you feeling better. That's pretty scary that those infusions did that to you! Hopefully they find another route.

Tell Beanie we miss her and we hope she's doing well. Her birthday is coming up soon, isn't it?

I hope the week is good to you!

Sorry to learn of the complicated health issue leaving you so tired. I hope they will find out what is wrong and that there are meds (or more holistic methods) for easing you back to normal.

I repeat that you did the right thing about the co-worker, but with today's detail about the veiled threat, I would most certainly have included that element in your letter.

Hope your week is fabulous on all fronts!

I'm glad you're taking this to the upper management to know what's going on before she decides to get in their ear and tell them what's wrong with you. Some people are so childish it's ridiculous. I hope this garners the results you're after and that this behavior is squashed. No one should have to deal with that in the workplace. *Hugs*

I can empathise with this sort of situation and think you are correct to stand up for yourself and present the facts in this way.

A well written unbiased letter I hope brings the correct result.

An excellent letter. I am sorry that your work place has become a private battle field for someone's personal insecurities.

I would keep a journal of her taunts and insults ( or whatever may be more appropriate here ) and that way you will have a body of evidence to present to your manager should this get even further out of hand.

Drama queens can certainly ruin the day for many people. And I know of no way to bring them back down to earth.

I do not understand vandals and especially fire bugs, if that's what happened. Sorry you had to breathe the stinky burnrng rubber, but glad everything turned out well.
