Fake Ass Prick and the Ridiculous Job Steward

Joe is so fucking FAKE!!!!! He has been spending all his time at work lately talking to Stick Figure (who he cannot stand) and other co-workers that he normally wouldn't give the time of day to. And it's not just conversations he is having but over the top friendly conversations. Laughing and cutting up like he is their new best friend or something. I thought I was the only one that noticed. I found out today that I wasn't.

I made a comment today about how much I wanted out of our work crew because I am tired of not knowing who my friends are. Even those that I thought were my best friend for over 3 years turned out not to be my friend. That prompted Chatterbox to make a comment that she knew that me and Joe had a tiff. I informed her that it wasn't a tiff. That the friendship was over. I did not go into detail however.

She responded that the people you work with are just co-workers not friends. I explained that Joe was different. He had keys to my house and I had thought of him like family. That I was crushed that our friendship ended the way that it has. She was shocked.

I told her I couldn't stand how fake acting he's been with our other co-workers. That it makes we want to do things that I can't say out loud at work, but I did make some hand gestures. She laughed & said she wouldn't report me. She also said that she noticed Joe was not only being friendly but over the top friendly lately. I thanked her for validating my exact observations. She said that Joe told her that he couldn't stand Stick Figure yet she has seen him going out of his way to speak with Stick Figure recently. She said it was like Joe is trying to show how great his life is now. I said that I'm not fake and don't pretend to be something I'm not. I try to tell people like it is. And if anything this whole experience has made me pull away and keep to myself more.

Eventually we talked about work and the state of negotiations for our upcoming contract. We talked about getting second jobs and how poorly our job steward is keeping us informed. We discussed the form that we supposedly need to fill out to get strike pay. That we had to find out about it from other people and not our own job steward. It's so frustrating not knowing what is going on and not have the union support we need.

It was another long day but I survived. How? I have no idea.
