Is everyone I work with retarded?

I have a headache. I have a headache because of my job. I am sick and tired of my backstabbing, smelly coworkers and their incessant nitpicking. They talk about each other behind their backs constantly. I've been aware of the fact that they talk about me (who they know nothing about)from the beginning. Another teacher tried to warn me yesterday that they were bitching because I came late and it was my turn to say prayers and have morning assembly with the kids in the morning. I appreciate her effort, but I already know. If they back-stab each other then why wouldn't they let me have it too? They all drive to work. I have to take lousy country taxis that don't bother to warn me when they turn off the main road to drop another passenger in some off-course dirt track, lengthening the time it takes for me to get to the school and sometimes making me late even when I leave the house on time.

Why do they even bother? Are they so starved for entertainment? They force me to assume that they are worthless people who lead empty, thankless lives outside of the workplace and because of that, they find it necessary to inflict their disgusting feelings of worthlessness on others. Why should I be punished for being myself? I have a strong personality and I like myself for it. I like the fact that I don't need to make someone else feel like crap to make myself feel good. However it seems I'm the only one who feels that way. What's even worse is that while you're being so evil you actually believe yourself to be Jesus' loyal disciple. What kind of warped view produces sick people like them anyway? I wish they'd grow up and leave me the hell alone.

Your co-workers need as much prayer as they can get. It is sad how much time is wasted gossiping and back-stabbing.

I pray everyday that SOMETHING good will happen to me (i.e., a lottery win, a call from the one of the thousands of resumes and cover letters I've sent out, ANYTHING, so that I don't have to come back here the to be abused, lied on and unappreciated the next day. I pray for my boss to be removed from my life. I don't wnat anything bad to happen; I just don't want her in my life!!! She's been here five years and she's had five different admins. I keep reminding God that it's been over a year -- I should be gone by now. TIME'S UP!!!!I don't want to buck the trend you know (smile!)
