Guest guest Posted March 14, 2000 Report Share Posted March 14, 2000 I really DO feel blessed. I've worked in offices that weren't like this one and it was definitely a bad experience. I know we're supposed to forgive and forget, but sometimes it's really hard to do the forgetting part. What happened to you was so uncalled for and insensitive. But give it time - they'll eat their words and laughs in the end!
