Not sure if I can make it until Friday (NBR whine)

Uggg.....yesterday was quite possibly the worst day of my working career.  Without going into details, I'll just say that I was competely blindsided and betrayed by one of my direct reports that I also considered to be a friend.  I didn't do anything wrong and have my management's support, but the problem is with the people that report to me.  I got through the day without breaking down but as soon as I got home, I totally lost it.  Before all this happened I had been planning to take a "sick" day today because I'm feeling really drained anyway, but I didn't want it to look like I was out because of them so I'm here and just miserable.  I keep going back and forth between being pissed off and thinking "eff them" to feeling hurt and wanting to cry.  What makes it worse is that there are only 6 people in my office so its not like I can avoid the "problem people" especially since the report to me!

I just keep counting down the days until I give my notice when the baby comes.  For the next 4 months I plan to be professional and polite, but that's it....

Thanks for listening to my whine....and what I really want is to down my sorrows in a big glass of wine but I settled for yoga and a burrito last night instead

I am sorry that you are going through this! Especially with all the hormones right now. The best thing you can do is to just ignore them and do your job as best you can. People like that are not worth your time. And my favorite revenge.... What comes around Goes around!!! They will get theirs one day! ;-) hang in there. When you get upset just think about your LO and hopefully that will make you feel better!

Thanks!  That's what I'm telling myself to do and really trying to do. Its just hard when there are only 6 of us and 2 of them are toxic people who just like drama.

Whenever I get upset, I give my belly a little rub and think about the big picture in life...that makes me smile!
