i do not like the people at my job

I already told you all about Steve

But there are others

Raciel

(See below)

Okay so he went and told his boss that i was going to quit??? Which i never said to him??? Based on me having one single annoyed response to him walking by my desk and whistling at me??? I think he straight up is trying to ruin my life for hurting his feelings. He’s an insane person.

HE SENT ME A FUCKING FIVE PARAGRAPH TEXT AFTER I LEFT WORK TODAY. Talking about it kills him to see me hurting. Talking about “I’m hurt the way you acknowledged me today. I always enjoy seeing you and today my heart was broken”. Christ, man get a life. I’m not allowed to be a little snappy ONE TIME. I hate this guy.

Today he keeps walking by my desk and incessantly whistling to get my attention. The third time he does this i roll my eyes and say “can i help you?” Because i am trying to be more rude as a person and he gets all defensive. “Damn, salty! I only get to see you once a month!” Which is not true but even if it was it’s like. You’re intentionally being annoying now you’re hurt that i got annoyed. What’s wrong with you sir.

Be me

Take multiple days off for the first time in two years working this job, not for a major holiday.

8 PM the night i leave on PTO.

Text from Raciel

Minutes after I left

“Came to see you after my meeting to give you a hug, but you had left!”

I do not want him to hug me

I do not want to talk to him about my dead uncle

Offers to bring me dinner

I say no thank you

He responds

“Dang I get it. Next time you need me as a big brother, you can tell me. God gave me big ears for a reason.” Gif of dumbo the elephant

He is not my big brother

I already have a brother

His uncle died too

Raciel is my coworker

We are not in the same department

Text at 10PM the following night

“Thinking about you brother, sending you a hug. I can always take a call to chat.”

I ignore this

Because my uncle is dead

And I’m dealing with that mostly

Go home for funeral

Work from home Monday

Teams message 7PM

GIF of man peering around corner

Widening eyes

And saying “HI!!”

Which i thumbs up react

When i get into work on Tuesday

Leaving work on a Friday

I say

Okay yall im heading out I’ll see you next week

Raciel blocks my way out the door

He says

You didn’t say goodbye to me!!!

He is blocking my way out the door

After i have clocked out

On Friday

For the weekend

I tell him i just said goodbye to everyone

Collectively

He says that doesn’t count

I say yes it does

And squeeze past him

Invited to hockey game with coworkers

Which is nice except

It’s with my coworkers

And i have two big projects due

At the end of the week

And the coworkers going

Again are not in my department

Do not share these deadlines

I tell Raciel i may not be able to go

Because i need to work

He says i should just go

And then pull an all nighter

The day of the hockey game

He brings a foosball table

Into the office

As well as some hard seltzers

And a bag of pretzels

I am at my desk

Working

At work

And he is walking around the office

Playing 2013 club hits playlist

On YouTube on his phone

He comes up behind me and

Puts his hands on my shoulders

I hate when he does this

He squeezes my shoulders

I hate when he does this

He tells me

We need to get you to loosen up

I tell him

Yeah haha well

I gotta get this done

Ha ha

Then he is loudly playing foosball

Saying

Let’s get the party started

He makes me play one game

Then i say

Oh boy oh wow that was fun

But i gotta get back to work now

You guys have fun

And i breathe a sigh of relief

When he finally leaves me alone

Constantly walking around the office

Pointing at me and saying

I see you

Doing a high pitched “girl voice”

And saying

Excuse me sir

To “trick” people into turning around

To what end

Nobody knows

I have no decoration in my cubicle

Because i don’t like being here

And i keep all my stuff at home

He brings me a sign

That reads

BE BRAVE

BE BOLD

BE YOU

And looks like a traffic sign

He went out and bought it for me

I say

Oh

Thanks
