    I'm now going on about it as much as her!

    I'm really worried that I'm not going to be able to keep my mouth shut for much longer. She's now whinging on the phone yet again and saying she might have to go home. I hope she does! It's really not like she's doing anything here other than seriously doing my head in.

    I'd probably be more patient at a different time. All I can think is that I haven't had any time off, I haven't cried here once, I've worked so damn hard to be professional and not let my life falling apart get in the way of work and all she's doing is crying over some damn dog.

    I am truly a horrible person. I'll probably get bitten by a dog on the way home as karma.

    Just popping on to tell you off Tea.

    I'm a pet person so can understand why someone would be upset if they had a poorly dog BUT I can completely understand why you want to bash her. Your feelings are completely understandable and rational. They do not make you a bad person. So stop telling yourself that you are!

    Your not horrible Tea. Your just being pushed to the edge and you have been through so much. *hugs*. Many times last week I had to go to another room and count to 10

    Thanks both. I genuinely like dogs, honest! I really do need to be more patient, the poor woman is very upset. I've counted to ten and put the kettle on (am being naughty about the no-caffiene rule for once).

    Deep breaths everyone x.

    Awe Tea. It's such a difficult situation. I totally understand your feelings of anger. I remember only too well wanting to scream and shout at people so they understod what I had been through, the pain I had suffered. I wanted them to understand how trivial there problems were and how they should be oozing sympathy for me.

    It does get better with time and you will feel better soon. Am I right in thinking your colleague doesn't know about the chemical pregnancy? She'd probably feel horrendous if she knew.

    Hope you are feeling better soon. And well done for staying ontop of things xxx

    I'm just home and was going to give in and test, but dh is deeply annoying me. He has done three things which have really irritated me (which he thinks I should be thanking him for!) And I'm super tired and grumpy.

    So its dinner then bed for me. Maybe tomorrow, but then I can't really tell him til Sunday. Grrr... Maybe I'll feel better after food.

    Tea, didn't you say she's finishing work soon? You should do a daily count down on here and we'll have a big celebration when she leaves.
