Somebody from another department at my work place actually had the nerve to criticize me and my department for not doing a "better job." I shrugged it off with a reply that pretty much suggests that she doesn't know what she's talking about. She starts walking away and mouthing off a few more things, and being that I was still ignoring her, she goes off and says F*****. That's it, I wasn't going to take that remark, and quickly went up to her and told her that I absolutely do not appreciate her rudeness. Then she goes off a tirade about us not doing this or us not doing that, and accused us of all these different things. The stupid thing was that everything she was saying were a bunch of lies. Being that I'm pretty OCD about my operation, I countered every single accusation with the real facts to the very minute detail, and I could tell by her expression that she was absolutely flabbergasted at the fact that I caught her at all her lies.
Then she goes on an excuse about how tough her job is and that we don't have it as hard as her. Another co-worker of mine told her off, asking why she thinks we have it so much easier than her. I then added that she should understand that with all the budget cuts and limited staffing that we and her department also has, we ALL have to work harder at our job, which causes things to be more difficult than it has to. I then told her that the fact that she would take out her work frustrations on another fellow employee from the same company she works for is absolutely unwarranted and makes things more difficult for everybody. What happened to team work? Cross department cooperation? It looked like she was about to cry, so I just said "you are unbelievable, you know that?" and walked away.
Here's a simple truth about working in a job, everybody doesn't necessarily enjoy it completely. You work with what you get, and do your best. Now if the job is starting to pretty much "crush your soul" to the point where you want to be pitied, THEN QUIT! If you can't afford to quit, then just be glad you have a job, as there are a lot of unemployed people out there, and you should consider yourself lucky.

what's her dept and what's yours? my old job was kinda bottom of the totem pole ish and well guess who was the lowest peon? i heard tons of people complaining back and forth O_O
My department is actually one of the more necessary ones in the company, but the problem is that we work the most "detached" from the other departments. Because of our "outsiders nature" a lot of the other departments see us like a relative they don't want to meet, if you know what I mean. I can go more in debt, but I'm sure you understand my keeping some work details more anonymous in these blogs.
