Work sucks because...

... people invent things and then tell me I told them the things.
... people renege on promises which I have already passed on to my customers.
... people tell me to "talk to him, he knows all about it!" when I trained the him in question and he knows no more about it than I do; I know, I checked.
... I could be at home with Rob on his birthday.
... people Cc their boss when accusing me of things which are their fault, leaving any response I can make looking defensive (Neat trick, I should do it).
... I have no opportunity to raise grievances in a non-bitchy way while my boss is away, largely because of my poor social skills.

I'm sorry to hear that the people in your workplace seem to be less than mature and you have to put up with it. That does suck. I don't know what else to say other than I hope things get better for you, and maybe a better job is waiting out there for you somewhere.

Well, I guess I could recommend using Nonviolent Communication or NVC (type it into Google for examples) to address your grievances and find a way to respond that doesn't make you look defensive. It takes time to learn, and seems stilted at first though; it takes practice to be comfortable with it and some people may find it odd. Probably trying it with Rob first would be fun.

Take care.
