Lunch Time with the Workplace Killjoy

Feeling happy? Confident?? Ready conquer the world???

My Workplace Killjoy can turn that around in a heart beat.... Trust !

"Hi [Killjoy], how's your day going?"

"Oh...."

Momentary silence

"You know."

I refuse let this woman ruin my lunch!

"Did you hear about [Suzy Q]? She got engaged over the weekend! I can't wait check out the ring."

"Marriage.... You know, that's the worst mistake anyone can make."

Oh shit, here it comes. I'm going need a Xanax just get through my lunch.

I fucking hate the Workplace Killjoy.

The question is, will she or won't she be able work the drug overdoses of both of her into her story today.

"What really gets is the fact that my ex husband was with my when my overdosed on morphine..."

Sigh.... Yep.

"....when I found out he was a quarter of a million dollars in debt even after selling our business..."

How much of this can I take before they have take the sharp implements away from me?

Quick, someone hide my letter opener!

"...I ended up calling the cops and having them do a wellness check on my but it was too late..."

The first few times I'd heard the stories it really pulled at my heartstrings.

How does a mother go on after not one, but die from a drug overdose?

I assumed she just need be able talk about it gain closure.... But, I've since changed my opinion on that.

I started watch her as she tells the story.

She's doing it for attention.

Ugh... I think I need a Xanax to just revisit this whole thing and write about it in my blog!

Cause, even though I know her tragedy has become a crutch for her to gain attention, it still makes me feel sad for her .

    Quoting MrWrong4RghtNow:
    I took a xanny after reading this. It did help. Not to diminish your coworker's loss but you're right to say it's an attention grab.
Oh, it totally is. She is one of those mousy people who tend to not be very popular and don't have much to add to a conversation because they've sat back and let life pass them by. I've often been tempted to ask her why she didn't step in when she knew her husband was gambling their money away? Or, if she knew her kids were doing drugs with her husband, why didn't she step in over that? Or, why did she wait until both kids were gone and her husband lost their business before she finally divorced him?

    It's been a long time since I've had a Xanax, I need to find a good source for drugs......
Ha! I've never had one.... Even when I was on anxiety meds I was taking Lexapro. LOL

I always try to steer the conversations in another direction... But I do always listen to the whole spiel ever single time. I know that talking about things can be therapeutic and it's the only way we can fully grasp certain things, and I always have empathy.... Sometimes when I'm having a stressful day, I just want to eat my my lunch and laugh with coworkers though.
