Thoughts.com Blogs - Toxic People

One of my New Years Resolutions was to eliminate as many of the "toxic" people in my life that I could. Sadly that's a bit harder than I had first anticipated. I think my best friend could be one of those toxic people. She is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO negative, about everything. I could tell her something and she'll find something negative about it. I'll say - "Wow it's a gorgeous day", and her reply would be something like, "Enjoy it while it lasts it's going to be rainy and stormy tomorrow". She has had some serious depression problems before. Back in 2000 or so she wrote a letter to her children and was prepared to kill herself. I found out about it and I took her to a hospital and she swore she would take her medication. Everything was/has been hunky dory until a few months ago when I found out she had fallen again into a deep pit of depression. Thankfully she's back on her med's but she's so incredibly unhappy. She is mean to her husband - she can't find much happiness with her kids (they irritate her too much), she hates working here. Just everything is always so doom and gloom. I am to the point where I want to scream in her face to SHUT UP! I mean really.... none of this is necessary, not everything is a consipiracy towards you. LIFE isn't THAT BAD.
Here's a prime example... we had a company wide email go out to all of us here is what it said.

FYI - yesterday, we had a vehicle stolen out of our parking lot sometime during day. We have had a couple of other incidents recently with vehicles being vandalized in the parking lot. We should all make sure that we lock our cars when we park and try to keep any packages, briefcases, etc out of sight that might tempt a would be thief. In addition, if anyone sees a stranger in the parking lot, please report it to someone in the toolroom immediately.

Thanks

So my best friend (who works with me) sends me an email and this is what her's says:

From: (my best friend)
To: Me

that email made me angry at working here and gives me another reason to actually look elsewhere. I think it is a stupid email that will only have the men force us out of our parking slots close to the front and we will never have any type of security with marek brothers.

PS: they found his truck, it was dumped in an apt complex and most of his stuff is still inside.

Ok now folks - where in the world did you all see that they would make us (women) park in the back so that the guys wouldn't have their stuff stolen or messed with? Did anyone else see that comment from the HR email? I sure as heck didn't. GRRR GRRR GRRR

Ok I feel better, I've vented.
