I was just really mad because I was out of medication, and I knew I was going to have headaches and dizziness before I got any. Plus Marian totally loves me, and she’s some kind of supervisor there in addition to being a therapist. I can’t imagine what would have happened if some suicidal person had called and talked to her. The woman’s excuse was that she’s “not good on the phone.” And you took a job as a receptionist, why?

You don’t mess with my Mama, for realz.

There *was* a receptionist woman at the center where I have therapy who did this sort of thing. I say “was,” because she made the mistake of doing it to me, and now she’s past tense. MWAHAHAHA! I was trying to get my medication refilled, because I ran out before my next appointment with the medication lady. She gave me all kinds of hard time about it, she wouldn’t let me talk to my therapist or leave her a message, and bitched all over me. But FU Bitch. I have her e-mail address. So I e-mailed my therapist and said “you know, I really dont’ think this is a good way to be answering the phone when you work in mental health.” Marian took care of it. Apparently I wasn’t the first one to complain about her. My complaint was just the one that worked. LOL.

There is a lab technician at the school where I work who is exactly the same – if you haven’t worked at the place for at least 10 years then she feels you’re not qualified and have to do what she says if you want to book equipment for practical work in the labs. Even down to the pettiness of when you needed a new red pen for marking, she had to get it for you from the locked cupboard.

Three of us who started working there together had to put up with this for a few years. Finally I had enough of it when she confronted me over something that was definitely none of her business – she was stupid enough to raise her voice at me slightly and I lost my temper. Made her cry, then she had two days off work because she was “stressed” – deputy head was involved etc and I convinced him I was in the right.

Strangely enough, I never had a problem after that but she is still the same with newer staff now. Furtunately I work in my own department now so not my problem. Just goes to show these people are everywhere.
