Evil One...

He hit me hard at work...out of left field...someone I would have never expected to act in such a manner...unbelieveable really...been here over three years and never a problem with anyone ever...then this guy...wow... A guy on day shift I never even see or work with...about populating a field in tickets that we never had to populate before...been this way for over nine months...then he sends an email to all my co-workers just trying to make me look bad? Literally singles me out for something that everybody has been doing the same way since we bought these facilities?...Blew my mind...

So I do things how he wanted them done over the weekend...I love working nights, no politics, no rocking the boat, show up, handle our business go home, stay under the radar etc...I come back in yesterday and he had sent another e-mail out about the same issue that I had worked just the way he wanted...I was like whoa...WTF? The line in the e-mail that got me was "...if you can't or won't then we will find someone who can"...really? This guy is not my team lead, he is not my supervisor and he gonna send out an email like this? To my co-workers? I was so mad I was literally shaking...I was gonna sit in his chair and just wait for him to come on shift in the AM...It got to the point where I couldn't think or do my work. I called my supervisor at home, told him about the situation, told him I considereded it intimidation, a threat, harrassment and that I shouldn't have to put up with it, no one should.

Leaving yesterday morning I ran into the guy who was sending the emails. I asked if he wanted to go have a talk. We did. I told him if he has an issue with my work that he could email me directly, that his emails to the group were not appreciated and that I was taking his actions as a threat and an attempt at intimidation. He said, I swear to you he said " I do what ever I want to do around here what are you going to do about it?" I was like WTH is going on here. I reiterated my points a few more times before leaving for my stepmoms. Literally could not believe what had happened.

I come in today and my supervisor called him out in front of the group as a whole. Told him he could not be sending out e-mails like that. Did it in front of everyone. I firmly believe in "praise in public, criticize in private". But if your your gonna call out a member of your group over somthing that willy-nilly? Well then you deserve to be called out in front of the group yourself. I could tell my supervisor was not pleased last night when I called him. I really thought he would take him out of the room to address the issue. He didn't. according to James he didn't enen have his back back off his shoulder when he told him in front of the group he could not be doing that.

Just blows my mind.

Here is the thing. The evil one comes at us from all directions. This guy has had an issue with me since I bought the bike. He's jealous. His daughter and her kids live at home with him. He is not enjoying his life. He sees a free spirit loving his and it's more than he can take. ( I didn't even say this, I just told James I had a theory and James went on a lil rant and explained plenty that I had no idea about) It's evil, jealousy, envy, all the negative emotions, all they do is serve to keep you trapped and miserable. Instead of enjoying what he does have (kids, grandkids) he's jealous of a life he will never be able to live. After three years of working (albeit) on different shifts with the guy, this pops up now?

I know how it is Lucy. We are going to have a love and a life like few people ever get to, this kind of stuff is just going to come with the territory...I just absolutly refuse to have my calm, peace contentment affected by others...It's within me to remain happy and content, so I shall.
