Dear KiKi: I Have a Reputation at Work for Being Moody
I recently found out they’ve nicknamed me “Sybil”
Dear KiKi,
My co-workers have started calling me Sybil, and not to be funny. Apparently, I’ve earned the reputation for being one moody-ass bitch around the office. The truth is, I am. I just can’t help the fact that I hate my job and want to punch someone in the face every time I can feel them just hovering there behind me waiting to ask me for something stupid — like a pen, or how to fix the copier, or a pad of paper. I work with a bunch of effing morons! I know it isn’t their fault that I’m the damn office assistant and this is my job, but ugh. I also have a very expressive face and I literally can’t hide it when I’m rolling my eyes or thinking what an asshat someone is for not being able to pull a new container of Splenda packets out of the break room cupboard themselves. The thing is, I don’t want to be known as the moody broad at work and I certainly don’t want them laughing at me behind my back calling me Sybil, or playing Rock, Paper, Scissors to figure out who is going to ask me for something because they’re scared of me. I’m at a loss for how to get my reputation back on track.
