How to deal with a negative work enviroment/coworker

[Maeggie]

Hi Y'all,

I was wondering if anyone has any good tips for recovering in a negative work enviroment and around very difficult coworker? I understand she is on hormones for personal reasons but shes making my life a living hell.. shes snappy and short answers things, its like living with someone with PMS all the time! HELP!

Is part of recovery eliminating negatives such as a negative job/enviroment? I know this is a root for me but Ive worked hard on my career! however, I do feel I might be much happier and more recovered in an enviroment that isnt as moody!

Any advice/relations are appreciated!

THANKS A MILLION EVERYONE!

My work invierment is also tearable. I'm just learning how to be more assertive and not so nice and submissive. I mentioned a book in the book club called PEOPLE SKILLS. There is a lot about assertiveness. I yell right back now. Then she is real sweet for a while. She snaps at me, I snap right back. That works for her.
Another guy was calling me names. I just give him the silance treatment. I don't namecall back. The silance treatment workes for him. I don't speek to him. I pretend he isn't even there. I don't even look his way. He just has a wicked mouth and he treats people that way if you go along with it. Ignoring him somehow causes him to ignore me. That is fine with me, with frends like that who needs enemeys.
I have learned to not value someone who doesn't value me. What should I care if he likes me or not. What should I care what there opinion is about me or anyone. I don't want to be in his click anyway. The people in that click are trouble makers. The people who seem to go along with these miserable people, and get along with them has to be submisive to there ways or they are wicked and miserable thereself. The bible says to stay away from there path. Avoid them when you can and snap back to certain ones and certain others ignore and be silent to. Whatever works. Differnt strokes for differnt folks.
This will take a lot of effort on your part. Be patient with yourself and learn these people skills. I did a study on the internet looking up abuse, sexual herassment,Verbal Abuse, work related abuse. There are a lot of answers out there.
I hope this helps.
