Today’s post is entitled “Thinly veiled insults.” I have a co-worker, let’s call her Lacey, who always says things to me that I believe are insults masked as concern. For instance, one of Lacey’s favorite things to do is to come up to me and say, “Oh Chloe, you look so tired.” No one else at work ever comments that I look tired or worn out, just Lacey. So my theory is that she wants to get her little digs in, but she’s trying to make it seem like she’s concerned about my well-being. If everyone at work was telling me that I looked tired I would think there was some validity to this. But as I said Lacey is the only one who tells me this.
Today I was working on a project at the front desk when Lacey said, “Chloe you’re just so quiet over there aren’t you? My children aren’t introverted thank God.” Again, here she goes with the little comments that could be masked as insults. What is it with this woman? I’m ready to go Joan Crawford on her ass!
