What a shit day!

It's been a really rotten day today!

I'm not going to go into it, but let me leave some clues...


Clue 1

bla·sé  (blä-z)
adj.
1. Uninterested because of frequent exposure or indulgence.
2. Unconcerned; nonchalant: had a blasé attitude about housecleaning.
3. Very sophisticated.

or

blasé [ˈblɑːzeɪ]
adj
1. indifferent to something because of familiarity or surfeit
2. lacking enthusiasm; bored
[from French, past participle of blaser to cloy]

Clue 2

Clue 3

  • hurtful comments making fun of you or your work
  • playing mind games, ganging up on you, or other types of psychological harassment 
  • withholding important info
  • making impossible demands; setting you up to fail
  • intimidation (making you feel less important and undervalued)  
  • pushing, shoving, tripping, grabbing you in the workplace 

If you are being bullied at work you might:
  • be less active or successful   
  • be less confident in your work 
  • feel scared, stressed, anxious or depressed 
  • have your life outside of work affected, e.g. study, relationships 
  • want to stay away from work 
  • feel like you can’t trust your employer or the people who you work with
  • lack confidence and happiness about yourself and your work 
  • have physical signs of stress like headaches, backaches, sleep problems
This is how I've felt for the last 2 days...and then on deeper reflection - I have been feeling like this for quite some time - on and off!

If anyone else is experiencing similar feelings and symptoms...the links may be able to provide you some help.
