I bailed up a bully today, and got told off by my boss for doing it.
I don't care.
You cross a line, and I will stand up for myself. I will stand up for my team.
I will not bury my head in the sand.
And then I cried.
I'm tired of the fight.

I have a customer, who hates my guts, because she didn't like the fact I told her the product she wanted wasn't a good fit for them. She trialled it, it wasn't a good fit, blamed me cos she wasted her time trialling a product that wasn't a good fit. Now she wants another free trial, vendor agreed...

Sooooooo, turns out, Winston Peters has now turned into a 100% mysoginistic fake-artist prick. What the fuck did he mean by 'groomer'? Threatening tax-payer funded media? He's as psycho as Trump & Co. He needs to be CANCELLED.

Today, I had men in power assume I know nothing, ignore everything I had to say, & talk down to me.
I'm sick of working for these shitheads.
My confidante at work, she turns out to be 2-faced.
But I'm stuck here for now.
Also, a very good friend died, so I'm miserable as all fk.
Start 2025 again?
