Work Probs

[Kendrah]

I need little spell workings to help with work. It's one huge ball of negativity.

I'm going to rant here. Sorry. :rant:

My boss is crazy, she thinks I'm lying to her about everything (this happened because of a mishap once, I was being thoughtless. My comp was down, I asked to go pick up my prescriptions and she said okay. Comp guy fixed a minute before I left and I didn't think about it, I just left. Mentioned it to her, she accused me of lying to her and not trusting that she'd let me off. Since then, everything I do, she critiques me.) She'll say one thing, then "forget" that she's said it and get mad at me for what she just told me to do. My friends say I should take a tape recorder in when I talk to her, she's so bad.

My co-worker is this huge negative black hole in my office. She's the kind that bad-mouths everyone behind their backs, is smily to their faces. Everything that Mike, the boss, gives her to fix or do, she spends the day ranting and raving over it (about how she shouldn't be doing it, it's not her job... Hello, she's the Admin Assist. It's her job.) Goes on "strike" and doesn't do anything.

I don't have much of a job, with the low census now and no doc to babysit, but I get in trouble if I leave early. I get in trouble if I'm not working. It's a catch 20. I asked to leave a half an hour early today to pick up something for a baby shower tonight (telling her full well I've almost 2.5 hrs in overtime already this week if I work my 8 tomorrow) and I get the 3 degree ("well, I don't know what hours you've worked this week, I don't know what you've done this week, have you been working on Nina's stuff?")

My co-worker and boss are close, and my co-worker says that no one works around here besides her. I know she's told my boss something to that effect about me (because she's said that to everyone else.)

I'm empathic, so I pick up on all this and wrap it around myself. I'm trying to bubble my space, but my co-worker is very projective - the strongest I've been around. I've got some rose water spray, a fountain, I'm going to bring in a dish with sage and lavender. I don't know what else to do, other then completely binding my co-worker. I'd rather not do that at this stage. I'm trying to figure out what lesson is to be learned by all this, but I'm failing. And I can't quit. I've been putting out my resumes but haven't had one interview offer yet.

Any suggestions? *deeps breath* Sorry all. I really had to rant. It's really hard when the place that I work at thinks I'm this horrible person and don't do anything, when really, I'm doing my job and doing it right - not covering my ass like the rest of them. Apparently, I'm no good at office politics.

*weeps*

To suck up negativity of a place, try taking a white glass bowl, some holy water, and a raw egg (or oblong white stone.) Wash the egg in cool water, asking it to absorb all the negativity around the place it's going to be placed. Put it in the bowl with the holy water, then place the whole thing in your place of work, like under a desk or some place where no one will find it. After a few days take the egg and burry it some place away from your work zone; the Earth will absorb it and turn all the energy stored into nuetral life for plants and things.

To abosrb negative energy around a person, try getting a picture of them and some rose quartz. Put the stone on top of the picture and secure with some black or white thread, asking the stone politey to absorb all the excess negativity around the person that would be directed at yourself. When the stone is full (should take a few days atleast), take it and wash it in cold water, then burry it in the Earth, asking it to take all the energy for itself. Once the stone has been cleansed (should take about another week or maybe even a month), dig up the stone, wash it in holy water, freeze it over night, then reuse it.

Another method to cast invisiblity on yourself, so maybe people won't notice you enough to lash out at you. Imagine your aura, blend it in so it's invisible, and then try incorporating a nifty chant to your patron deity or animal to lend some of their energy into keeping you hidden. Foxes, spiders and camelions are some good ideas.

To create good luck in an area, try getting some small bamboo sticks and creating a wind chime to hand up in the room that seems the most affected. If wind chimes are out of the question, you can make a small key-chain to hook on your pocket or on a door knob, or even a blinds string, that'll clank to help banish negative spirits or feelings around itself.

Shielding yourself is also a good idea, if you don't already.

Have you tried the half an onion trick?

You might want to start looking for a new job. If your co-worker is the only one that does any work, then there should be no change in performance if you left for a new job. When there is, the boss will know that the co-worker is full of crap.

Thats for the nifty ideas! I'll have to try them!

Could you give me an idea of things that would be forbidden in your working enviroment? Candles are one thing that is usually off limits, usually due to the open flame. Incense is often another, due to others being allergic. With a general idea of what would be off limits it would save me from suggesting things that are definitely out of the question for you.

I really really feel for ya Kendrah, I have to leave my current job cos, well, sigh, my boss just doesnt like me and the reasons she gave are real crap for why she wants me to leave.

She admitted to me that she knows I work real hard but I am jsut not meeting her expectations. She also says I cant get along with my colleagues... which is a LIE by the way.

I asked her why she thinks I cant get along with them. You know what, she can't give me one. She admitted that she didn't know.

Well, she's the boss and its really pointless to battle this.

I'd really like to say, hang in there. One of the ways to try and resolve the problem is to try and clear karma with your colleagues. Their attitudes towards you will change. Also, you might manifest some new opportunities for yourself. Who knows, the world is a big place. :)

Do update and let us know how you are doing.

Any kind of open flame or smoke. This is also a catholic establishment, so I have to be a little cunning. ;) I've got some things set up, but am always willing for more suggestions.

[Loriann]

I say same thing it. But I alway little bit the cunning. I try one.
