my coworker is SUCH a b**tch. i am on the edge. i think im developing an ulcer. i screwed up slightly a couple of times because shes so pushy she makes me anxious. couple of weeks later i do excellent work for my other coworkers shes the only one tha ti have problems with. so im the only artist in the department for like 6 people and i get along great with everyone but her. im 27 yo young mommy shes a 50 something beotch no kids and every single thing i do she says i dont do right even if i am right she never apologizes even once 'on accident' ruined my one personal belonging there. im freaking out right now i want to quit because of her she gossips and is trying to make me fail. everything i do she tells my boss about. shes the 2nd (lower) asst. director and every time we argue she throws me under a bus and says its my fault wont let me get a word in edgewise. no matter what i do now im shaking and scared. help me please? thanks.How do i make my coworker stop being such a female dog?
it's called jealousy . your a good worker and she's afraid you'll take her job try your best to ignore her and keep being nice it will drive her nuts we have tramps like that at all jobs dont give her the satisfaction of quiting .if she knows she's getting to you she wont stop kind of like a bully at school . if anything talk to your boss in private or ask her whats her problem good luck hun i know how work place problems can be .How do i make my coworker stop being such a female dog?
This isn't healthy, I rarely say this, but yell at her.
Loudly, just say'; Stop it, Right now, I'm not going to take it anymore, you are unreasonable. When you can talk to me as a coworker we can resume, until then get yourself together and don't say another word.'; Then walk away. You must learn to stand up for yourself even with bitches. You are the one with the power to stop her, that you haven't means you gave that power over to her. Take it back. You have nothing to lose, if you don't take charge you will lose your health, that's harder to get than another job, which you will have to do if you continue to let her walk all over you.
stop reacting to her behavior and send her blessings. sooner or later the positive energy will infect her.
Hi,
First don't yell at her. It would be grounds for you getting fired.
Always be nice to her, it will drive her crazy and it won't come back on you later.
Make a record of when she complains of your work or makes comments about you. Dates and times with descriptions of what was going on.
Now there is four ways to use that information.
One would be to go to her with it and calmly point out to her what she is doing. (I think it probably won't work.)
Two, go to her boss and tell them. (This could be seen as insubordination too)
Three, contact a lawyer and see if you have grounds for a harassment suit.
Four, When it gets to the point that you can't stand it any longer, quit and give the log to her boss along with the reason why you are quitting. Then leave and don't look back.
Good Luck.
TMD
Put a can of dog food on her table when she is not looking.
Seriously, analyze and evaluate the situation. Be honest with yourself. Are you working below par or is your boss unfair? If he is the latter, there is no reason why you should continue working for that business. Fire him! Ask for an exit interview and spill the beans on your boss. You are just wasting your time.
A good boss will always try to develop good people without being rude and dictatorial. Conversely, if your work is below par and has no possibility of ever improving a good boss will terminate your services immediately.
Peace and every blessing!

How do you stop looking to others for reassurance and advice?
Im sure I will get some smart a** remarks here, but this is a real problem for me. In almost every area of my life I ask for advice from (parents, husband, coworkers, look online) before making big decisions. I have a huge decision to make %26amp; Im afraid if its the wrong one I will never forgive myself. I also tend to go along with whatever anyone else wants to do so I dont upset anyone. UGH - I hate it!How do you stop looking to others for reassurance and advice?
It sounds like you lack confidence and that you worry a lot about what other people think. It's okay to seek advice, but it sounds like you do it at a higher level than most. I would seek a counselor who could help you get over this. Here's something to try...think about the last 10 or 15 decisions you made where you asked for advice...write them down. Next to it put what you thought was best before you asked anyone, and then next to that put the advice that was given to you. My guess is that you'll find they match up...that is what you thought you should do is what people then told you to do.
Perhaps, the need to please people stems from a belief that relationships are fragile and that people may just leave you if you don't go along with them. Think about times when you wanted to do something but someone else didn't go along with it...do you still like that person or would you let them go? I bet you still like them. They are the same. They will not stop loving/liking you just because you don't go along with what they want to do. My advice is to really stop and think when these situations arise. Check in with yourself ans ask, what do I want? Then, express it. You'll find people will be willing to go along with your ideas as well.
Really, though, a counselor could really help you with this...it probably wouldn't take that long. Good luck.How do you stop looking to others for reassurance and advice?
i think you need to stop talking about your problems to everyone. I personally feel if you want to share your concerns with your husband that is ok. But going to your friends or family to complain about him is not ok. My point is that getting situations or arguments validated by others is only going to lead to disaster. If you have a big decision to make, dont tell anyone at first and really think about what you want. Then when you tell someone, maybe their opinion wont matter as much because you already made up your mind

Help! Was I wrong to have this outburst toward two coworkers?
I have been working for the city in their Public Works Department. My division is devided up into groups of people who get along. Since i've been there, i've worked my butt off and I have had several coworkers literally tell me I should go back to my old job, that i'm a horrible worker, that I should learn how to use a shovel, and try to get me fired behind my back. On top of that, one coworker is always talking down to me and demanding I do things in a very rude way and he does it constantly. Today, he and another guy I don't get along with came up and started talking down to me again and I snapped. I told them off, told them I was sick and tired of their bull**** and them disrespecting me, and told them to basically *** off. Shortly after, in the locker room, I got in yet another argument with one of the guys that ended the same way. I feel bad for losing my composure, but i've been dealing with this for weeks and they do this to a lot of my other coworkers that are good workers.Help! Was I wrong to have this outburst toward two coworkers?
For this very reason, we should not bottle things up inside. However, we all have done this one time or another. They deserved what they got! You had every right to stand up for yourself. You stated you work your butt off, so it's not like you are a slacker getting upset because they are trying to get you fired.
You can change jobs but why? There are people like this everywhere. What? Give them what they want and quit? No way! They are just jealous of you. Your boss has no complaints right? I would make their day and stay there.
Blow them off. It's like a school bully. Do you leave school because of some crap talking idiots? Heck no! Stand your ground, get your days work in and forget about them!
I say, good for you!! :0) Take care! Remember trash is everywhere!!!Help! Was I wrong to have this outburst toward two coworkers?
Go get another job. Remember ';Living well is the best revenge!';
You did nothing wrong, sometimes one need to speak up and stand up for them self. You did good. never let no one do this to you. OK you say there is another job in your way, then go and take it it is better to work in peace and if your having a hard time with this low liefs, then take off.
Stay well and always try to be happy. Let those loose rs take it up With themselves.

How do i make her even more mad?
I am training to be a part time manager at my uncles subway while i begin college and do not get along with one of my coworker because she thinks I am trying to get after her boyfriend who I also work with, but Im newly engaged. Her and I had only gotten into little arguments nothing to blunt until the other day I got in her face and called her a loser and a fat ***. I mean she is like 27 years old and makes min. wage. But I called her every name in the book and have just found that I want to make her even madder. What can I do? Any Ideas?How do i make her even more mad?
What I'm wanting to know, is how you could even think you would be fit for the title of manager. What kind of woman are you anyways, my children talk better than this trash mouth.How do i make her even more mad?
You already know the answer. Seduce her man.
Grow up. For heavens' sake, you both work in the same place -- calling her a loser is like the pot calling the kettle black! And calling someone a loser and a fat a** is just plain rude.
You come across as sounding superior and snotty -- which I'm sure she's picking up on, too. Are you sure you're going into college? You sound like you just got out of middle school, ';trying to make her madder';.
When you're off to college, she'll still be there -- unless you run her off. And I'm SURE your uncle will appreciate his snotty niece running off the hired help, because help IS hard to find. Frankly, if I were your uncle, I'd fire YOUR a**.
Try acting like a grown up and a manager, instead of a 6th grader and a peon. Apologize to her for calling her names.
Why?
You are newly engaged and have a future... she isn't either. She is older than you, struggling, and she is training you... teaching you how to do her job so you can be her boss... and lets face it, you are only getting to be her boss because your Uncle owns the place.
It doesn't sound like there is a whole lot of upward mobility in her world, and you just walz in and take the one shot she has of moivng up in life, because your uncle owns the place.
Can you understand why she might not like you?
Add to this the fact she has to take your crap all day, because she doesn't have an uncle who can just give her a job, or the money to pay for college, or a way out...from what you say she NEEDS this job. She has to bite her lip and keep quite if she wants to keep her rent paid and food on the table.
I think you have made her miserable enough already. Isn't there already enough pain and suffering in the world, in her world, without you going out of your way to create more?
Let me understand this...you are training as a ';part time manager'; and this is the kind of example of professional management you are displaying...
In the real world (of working for someone other than your uncle), you and that co-worker would be fired...and without a severance package to go along with it---(I might add!)
You need to be the one to set a good example by minding your own business, not discussing personal issues in the workplace on paid company time (even if it's on your uncle's bill), and watching the kind of language you use as well towards other employees. That's setting a good example as a manager in training.
Then, when you become a ';real manager';, you can calmly discuss issues with the employee behind closed doors in an office and determine whether he or she should be fired for inappropriate behavior.
In the meantime, if I were your uncle, I would be looking at sitting you down in that hot seat and teaching you a thing or two about the proper way to handle yourself with another employee.
I cringe to think of how much your uncle may be paying you, if you criticize and publicize that your co-worker is only making minimum wage.
You may not like what I said. But I speak from years of experience. And I don't work for a family member.
SHUT YOUR MOUTH, it sounds like you have a job because your uncle owns the business, not because you have any great smarts, education, and certainly not a lot humanity, courtesy or empathy for others. Your mouthing off at the job calling her a fat *** would get you fired from many jobs, which is what you deserve here as well.
You sounds absolutely pitiful to me. I hope your finance sees this side of you before signing on the dotted line.
Let me get this straight....
You work at Subway, but only because your uncle owns it...
You are just starting college and are already engaged....
You call other people names, and I would bet you are trying to get after other ladies men.
You sound like a real winner. No doubt being a sandwich artist makes you the moody, eccentric type, but that is no excuse.
I wouldnt be a bit suprised if you are making min wage at 27, after you and the fiance pop out a few babies, you drop out of school, and he leaves you for one of those roller skate girls at sonic.
Grow up. I wouldn't want to go to any establishment where a manager behaves like it's middle school.
What's next? Wet willies?
You want to make someone feel bad because of their low paying job?Your trash for doing that.
why even bother....
you have better things to worrry about (e.g. college, activities, husband, babies)
u havent even been out your little bubble.... why get married
GROW UP~ thats all high school...drama isnt gona get you anywhere.....u are also doing almost the same thing she is ...ur could be considered a loser too for working at a subway...thats not real buisness

A coworker causing trouble, how do I make him stop without causing drama???
Ok there is this coworker that I dont particularly get along ith, hes arogant and makes mean comments. anyway, there is this outher co-worker who found out that we dont get along. hes playing games, hell come to me and tell me, ------- said this about you, then ill notice at break that hell sit with this guy and they will be talking and looking in my direction. Ive even told him, -----, I know your trying to start trouble, arent you, he just gets this big grin on his face like a little boy caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Work isnt the place for childish games. how do I make him stop and still keep a good relationship with him?A coworker causing trouble, how do I make him stop without causing drama???
Sounds as though the drama has already started.
If you want it to stop, tell the instigator to keep his comments to himself - you are not interested in gossip. Not only childish, down right stupid.
Cactus - wtf???A coworker causing trouble, how do I make him stop without causing drama???
The best thing you can do is act like he doesnt even exist.... that will really '; erk his tator'; .........
Be polite but definately do not speak to him about your other work co-worker again. Don't play the game, it can only hurt if you do.
He can't play without your help - or at the very least will find someone else to mess with.
Let him know it's bugging you. He sounds like an immature person. He likely doesn't even know how to behave when around other people. He also could be a jerk who can't handle a life without drama. I think he's not worth your notice. If you have to work with him, just don't play into his drama. The way you asked (your choice of words and phrasing) can be construed as playful and accepting of the behavior. Next time, make it clear that you don't want him coming to you with that mess again. Otherwise, he'll have no clue that you don't want him to do it.
Yes I know how to stop him! Go by a cactus and put his name under it. Sounds Crazy Right! It has worked over and over for myself and my clients. This is a tool that is used in Feng Shui.

I have had three very strange dreams in the past week. Does anyone know what they mean?
the first dream was that two of my friends from work and i went to paris for a week. then the last day of the trip we decided to do london for 5 days. we called our boss and he freaked, but we went anyway. then, on the last day of the trip, i decided i wasn't going back. instead, i moved to paris. with no money, no job, and no place to stay, i was a little worried. but i met a man and he said i could stay with him. he looked familiar, and the next day I found out we was a celebrity.
the next dream is even more weird. i realized my roommate was pregnant before she did. i didn't know how to tell her, so i research what to do w/ different options. here's the weird part. for some reason i was telling her birthing rituals as options. if she put it up for adoption, there was supposed to be a white snake, but she couldn't see it, or the baby. if she kept it, the 15yr old singer justin beiber would sing at her birth. when i told her these options, she already knew she was pregnant, and just told her boyfriend and mother. in my dream, she gave birth in a field, where a bunch of pregnant women were giving birth. she didn't tell me what she wanted to do, so i brought both options. when i got there, she had her own plan. her boyfriend's friends (all pro basketball players in my dream) were playing keyboards and singing. it ended where i ruined her birth because i had justin beiber start singing and ruined the song the basketball players were singing. also, the parents are white, but the baby is black. but in the dream, the father is still the real father.
the third dream is a bit more weird. i went on a trip to dubai w/ my best friend. when we got w/ a touring group, my ex and his girlfriend were there. she said they lived there last year and my ex was going to open a casino there after he graduated from college. she kept saying really inappropriate thing about her body and their sex life. also, in the dream my ex had a speech impediment, which he doesn't in real life. then my best friend and i decided to go to the store. she was telling me of this pamphlet we got it 5th grade that, if i still had it, we could move there for 6 months for free. we ended up doing that. when we got there, my ex and his gf were still there, along with some of my coworkers. everyone ended up splitting into groups. my best friend became close w/ my ex's gf, and he was alone b/c she kept ordering him to go to things. i was w/ work friends, and one work friend got stuck in a group with these two girls she didn't like. then we went on a tour and it was beautiful. their were bright colors and elephant cages that were sequins bright pink and gold.(i have never been to dubai and know absolutely nothing about it. i had to google it to even see where it was). the dream ended w/ me appreciating the experience and being happy i was living there.
i can't stop thinking about what these all mean!! they are all so strange and different. also in the dream i make my own choices so its not like i'm watching in third person. i feel like its actually happening instead of knowing its a dream. please help! any input is greatly appreciated. sorry the descriptions are so long, i just didn't know how to shorten it up. there was so much detail within the dreams.I have had three very strange dreams in the past week. Does anyone know what they mean?
The first dream is that you want to chuck you current life and start anew in a new placeBirds How to keep lint off comforters

How is the best way to handle office stealing?
I work at a five star hotel in a big city. I get along great with all my coworkers; even the one accused of having stolen multiple things in the past (we will call her Sally). “Sally”’s mom also works at the hotel and there have been reports of her stealing (uncaught) before too. I work at the front desk and am video recorded through my entire shift. So I thought nothing of it when I left a small sum of money (for someone’s tip) on my desk during a lunch break. When I returned, the envelope was gone. I was suspicious if perhaps Sally had taken it but I did not ask her because I didn’t want to insult her. The next day I reported it to security and they hauled me into the office to review the tapes. I told them that perhaps I’d misplaced it or “Sally” had given it to the correct employee. (Which I doubted since I hadn’t written a name on it…but I was trying to give her the benefit of the doubt)
Sure enough—Sally is seen on tape twice. The first time she goes to my work station and picks up the envelope. However, I’d forgotten my phone at my desk so I came back out to get it. She sets the money down quickly and goes back to her station. (The security guard said that was suspicious) Then you see me exit the camera again. This time, she returns to pick up the envelope and is caught on the other camera tucking it into her purse. It’s on camera for goodness sake! (She must be brave or stupid) Well, since then….nothing has happened. The security officer reviewing the tapes told me that they had been waiting to catch her “in the act”. But I was never asked any questions for the report and nothing has happened in three days. I know it wasn’t much money…but shouldn’t something be happening? What do I do now?

CCTV cameras are the only way otherwise its you word agsint there;s.
Not all CCTV equipment is created equal, in fact there are many options that offer varying performance much like the automobile industry. In the world of CCTV you can find the equivalent of a $2,000 golf cart and a $350,000 Ferrari and everything in between. Both have 4 wheels but that's where the similarities end, it’s under the hood that counts.
Just like any other consumer electronic in the end you get what you pay for. Most retailers and sellers make about a 40-80% profit margin, this is after costs like shipping and overhead. That means when you buy a product that costs $100.00 the manufacturer usually has only spent $30 to build it which simply means it’s not a good product and will probably have a working life of about 2 months. There is a reason these products are 1/10 of the price of good and reliable DVR brand names. The type of seller these products attract are online sellers (ebay) and will make profits margins as low as 2% which means they can’t afford to offer good service or allow for RMAs (returns). Cheap products are like disposable razors they are NOT designed to last for a long time and you will end up replacing them every 2 months.
Now some products can be made cheaply like ipod cases, screen protectors, and other simple products with no moving parts or electronics. DVRs need to be good quality as they run 24/7 (20X more than the average electronic device) and process anywhere from 30-480 frames per second which in a year is over 15 billion images, and a good DVR should last 3-5 years.
A true DVR and camera require years of research and development to facilitate the seamless integration of both the hardware and software. DVRs are highly complex systems that must run 24/7, processing millions of images per day and are one of the few products that can’t be made both well and cheaply. Cheap and inexpensive products like Q-see, Swan, Lorex, and other low grade DVR’s and cameras sold by Tiger Direct, Newegg, radio shack Sams Club, are not used by any security professional and should only be used by hobbyists.
I suggest you buy a PC based DVR has they have more processing power and normally have a much smaller file size and offer more features then Standalone DVR's. I know many people buy a cheap standalone DVR, only to upgrade to a PC based in 6 months especially when they are using it to manage a store remotely. Also PC based allows you to record up to 64 cameras where a standalone will have a limit of 16.
File size is crucial to streaming because most DVR’s on the market record at real time performance (30FPS per channel) so on a 4CH is trying to send 120, 8CH 240, and a 16CH 480 images per second which requires way too much bandwidth even for the most extreme internet connections.
The smaller the files size the more images are able to be sent, and the faster they can be processed improving both FPS and speed. File size is the heart of any DVR and goes far beyond just its streaming capabilities, as it also determines the recording storage time, how much you can back up at once, how fast it renders and searches video. The file size of a DVR impacts the performance of the DVR in just about every aspect from speed to longevity and is often the most important spec of any DVR.
If you are buying a DVR and streaming is a high priority I suggest you ask for a demo and connect to the DVR to make sure it is able to stream fast enough for your needs. Most DVRs say they have remote viewing but it is often too slow and laggy to be of any use especially if it is a standalone. Some good DVR brands that I recommend are Bosch, Pelco, Honeywell and Ascendent. These brands are what security professionals use, Q-see, Swan and Lorex are only used in residential applications because they are sold by Tiger Direct, Newegg, Sams Club, Costco and other retail outlets but are not used by any security professionals also their tech support rarely speaks English as their first language...

Economical DVR's
Two good economical DVRs I would recommend are Ascendent's AVP-4120 DVR or Pelco's DX-400. They will allow you to view all your cameras instantly from anywhere in the world using either IE, or a client software. The AVP-4120 uses the latest H.264 codec to improve streaming and recording time, and will allow PCs and Apple computers to remotely view cameras. These are the DVRs I would recommend that are good quality and affordable from companies who stand behind there products.
Hope this Helps,How is the best way to handle office stealing?
As the person who's money was stolen, you should report this to your supervisor, and also let him/her know it was caught on tape.
That's ridiculous that your work hasn't done anything about someone blatantly stealing. You could always play detective and get a covert security camera that you can wear on you or leave around your desk - that way you have a valid copy of her stealing, and maybe you can take it past the security department not doing anything to a higher up at your company. At the very least, maybe you could bring it up in conversation and get her to admit to it as well on a security camera verbally.
Sure enough—Sally is seen on tape twice. The first time she goes to my work station and picks up the envelope. However, I’d forgotten my phone at my desk so I came back out to get it. She sets the money down quickly and goes back to her station. (The security guard said that was suspicious) Then you see me exit the camera again. This time, she returns to pick up the envelope and is caught on the other camera tucking it into her purse. It’s on camera for goodness sake!
