PandoraX: Oh, hun, your rear didn't even put more than a scuff on the stylish leather boots I was wearing. I polished those babies up and they're good as new.
thewall2: Backstabbers...expect the worst from everybody,and you'll never be disillusioned.
Backstabbers are the worst kind of people and if they anyone I am friends with stabs me in the back just once I won't let them them forget what they did

I've worked at a couple of companies where everyone was out for only themselves. I didn't get along with someone in high school and several years later he became my leadman at a place I worked. He swore that he would get me fired and it took him three years to do it. I was an industrial painter and the paint we used was highly flammable, (polane based). I was accused of smoking in the spray booth and he had "evidence", a dixie cup with water in it which had ashes and a cigarette butt, my brand in it. When I needed help from my so-called friends, none of them wanted to get involved. The charges stuck and I was out of a $13/hr job and couldn't even collect unemployment benefits. Because of this, I find it hard to trust co-workers and do not associate with them outside of work.
Once in here just as I was starting to talk to someone, another member sent her an email saying I was talking to someone else also. Because of that I was judged and found guilty without a chance to defend myself. I was able to get things going again after one hell of an email and making a thread wanting to know who tried screwing things up with her and I. I never did find out who it was. When I take an interest in someone, I concentrate on that one only. This is one reason I won't do an LDR.

Bodecia: Hi BB.
I had a similar situation last year. I worked in a Development office for a Catholic Diocese, which you would think would be a pretty safe place to work! Boy, was I wrong..
Told some confidences to my supervisor, who I thought was my friend, who passed them on to her boss and then to HER boss. Resulted in me being embarrassed and angry and forced to leave.
Christian people? Not.
Now, I never know who to trust.
Hi Bo,Say hello to "him indoors"
I remember you mentioning this in another thread some time ago. I trust my instincts as best I can,but like you it makes you wonder about people,which I find rather sad really.
They tried it on with someone else much later,making life uncomfortable and saying that they were changing the wages system and she wouldn't be able to cope. Turns out that their equipment wouldn't take the new programme,and they asked her to stay.
Needless to say she walked after many years with the Company ,has a much better part time job and is a lot happier.

You are traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land of imagination. Next stop, the Twilight Zone! ...
A stranger stabs you in the front; a friend stabs you in the back; a boyfriend stabs you in the heart, but best friends only poke each other with straws.

I find stabbing then in the jugular is much more effective... and satisfying.
