I'm pretty much a loner (I like my own company about 90% of the time) and have loads of hobbies at home. My mum hates me and hates the 'no need for people' part of my personality. She's even saying...
I am covering for a woman who has gone on long term sick leave and who is much older than me. This is the first time she has been off work for years and years. I am 'holding the fort' until her...
I've been in my role as a typist for 7 years. I help the whole office out. My immediate boss assigned to me a superior whose secretary is off sick long term: so I'd taken on her role for 6 months...
They keep asking if I'm interested in a job, but they only give me the job title. I keep asking for a job spec, but I never receive it. I can't be interested in a job with seeing the job spec, surely?...
We work in an office and there are 7 of us (we're secretaries). One secretary in particular is one for the blokes and she'll tease us when a guy walks into the room - just stuff like, "Is he your...
I work with two others in an office and both of them emailed me to say today neither of them are coming in (off sick). I thought them emailing me, they'd both emailed the managers to let them know. So...
I have done all what the vet recommended; I've sprayed the house down with Indorex, gave my cat his second Advocate two weeks after the first dose (vets orders!), the vet sprayed him down with...
My co-worker asked if I've started my Christmas shopping (she knows it's just me and mum) and then said, "Oh yes, I suppose you have not many to buy for". Not nice?...
I admit I've been neglectful when it comes to giving my cat his regular flea treatment, but this last week the signs on him have been there. He's frantically running around and washing quickly. I've...
I'm 51 and she's a young 79 year old. I've decided to start counselling to work on my poor self image/low self confidence. I told mum this and she said,"Do you know (a neighbour) has more confidence...
Someone in the office is leaving tomorrow. She was taken on a contract for 6 months and her contract's up tomorrow. She already had a leaving present from us last week where we all chipped in and now...
I live with my 79 year old mum. I work 4 days a week so I can do more around the home. My mum has an injured shoulder at the moment and I always empty the litter tray for our cat anyway. I emptied his...
I work as a temp in an office and my boss has asked me to do over time. Thing is she sometimes forgets to pay me or underpays. I do like her, but she's haphazard with 'finalising' my hours each week...
What can I say back to her? I sometimes need to go to another office concerning work and she'll say, "What you doing here? Have you no work to do?" I wanted to answer her back but there were others in...
The person leaving has only been here 6 months (contract has come to an end) and they want us all to bring in a few snacks as a last get-together. I don't know what to bring in. My heart's not in it,...
I need to give my lovely but difficult cat one eye drop per day. It is proving absolutely difficult. I heard about giving cats antihistamines to knock them out, so can I give it to my cat and if so,...
