Fearing the future
Ricky the temp is being his usual sassy self. I am in an adult job now, but his bitchy manner to me feels like bullying. All because I don’t want to divulge my sex life at work.

I don't really win much. I don't really win ever. It's not through lack of effort, but occasionally a combination of my hardwork, determination, luck and good decisions pays off. It's nice that hardwork does occasionally pay off because I put a lot of faith in it - usually to my disappointment this has not … Continue reading Winners guilt
