how to get back at bullies i can't let all the work at karma

akiza, I don't like bullies either
I wouldn't worry about them, they will get their "reward", I assure you
Vengeance is not right action.
Verbal confrontation with a bully will only feed the beast.
On the other hand, when it is work-related, you may have to document incidents (it's nice that cell phones have record options), and consult a professional (i.e. lawyer) to start building a case. That or find another place to work.
Best regards

Several things
 

I wanna make a mad dash to get an egg mcmuffin and iced vanilla coffee...but it's raining hard and the neighbors might fuss about my bare nekkid legs as I dash for the truck. (No one at the drive up window minds if I'm wearing pj shorts that aren't long enough to show from under my Tshirt...it's only my neighbors that think I run around half nekkid.)

Cob houses....have become my obsession lately. I've made up my mind I will have one!

Damn rain is turning driveway into a lake!

What kinda trouble can I get into this weekend? Go to the Chinese Lantern Festival or Warm Springs VA? Or Hot Springs NC?

the ebb and flow of life...

A new job (by choice)
Upcoming school semester and how my degree is almost finished
Expanding the guest list to invite some near and dear folks
Budgeting and all the number crunching that comes along with it

Insomnia. I've had it for a week. Due to a combination of high high crisis week at work- being on call and lots of late night emergencies/middle of the night calls- and general chaos around me. I need to take some time off.

I'm really stressing about Survival Cat. Getting her into the no kill shelter isn't as easy as I thought it was going to be, and I just can't stand the thought of her stuffed in one of those little cages at the pound.

A lot...too much... :seeingstars:

I have been reading about gaslighting. Pretty interesting!

Gaslighting is when someone screws with your sense of reality to manipulate you, causing you to distrust yourself and trust them instead.

Gaslight was a great movie too. I've seen the 1944 version with Ingrid Bergman, Charles Boyer and Joseph Cotton. (yes, I had to look it up!)

gaslighting
 

To discover reality requires a certain sense of skepticism with regards to what others consider to be written in stone, so to speak. Once a person accepts an idea by anyone as how things should be, they block themselves. So whatever you do, don't block yourself! Anything the mind puts together can be undone. So whatever you believe can be put aside.
Best wishes, :byebye:

To persue another job. I need something different, not 7 days a week.

To pay off some debt, soon, before it ruins my credit.

Gaslighting
 

This sounds intensely interesting and requiring quite a bit of responsibility on the part "the manipulator." Who is actually the Top.

My good friend, who happens to be a psychiatrist, enjoys Topping psych scenes. We have often team Topped a bottom with the express consent that she will experience a period of time she will be uncertain what is and is not reality. She must enter the scene with a full understanding of what may occur.

The point of my post is to make those unknowing aware of the fact that, if gaslighting is done, all participants will be in a scene that requires a good deal of skill to successfully accomplish all elements of this type of scene including reorientation and aftercare. An intense psych scene is no less mind-altering than an equivalent physical one. You may not see any physical marks, trust that there are emotional marks which need to be dealt with.

A camper, I can't find exactly what I want and am not sure they make what I want.

Alot is circling My mind the past 2 days... many things to consider moving forward...
