Affiliate Marketing Secrets

A while back I moved from Wyoming to Oregon for a job. I don’t have any family in the area and no friends. I became friends with a coworker and thought things were looking up. We would go see movies and just hang out. She went through some tough stuff and I was there for her. I helped her pay bills and took her out when it was a particularly had day and would stay with her at night until her roommate was home because she was lonely and scared. About a couple of months back my life took a turn for the worse and all of a sudden she didn’t talk to me. I was worried and would call once a day and text her. Finally I asked her what was wrong and she told me that I needed to learn to back off. So i did. i was pissed and found out that she only wanted me to be there for her and not the other way around. I was even more mad. but I avoided her like the plague. Suddenly i was getting shifted to other units and one day went to the union to find out what was going on. The cops were there and questioned me on a bunch of stuff that I never did. I was served about a week later with a temporary restraining order. I still had no idea what the heck was going on. I was told by a supervisor that I needed to get rid of the job quick because the upper management was going after me and my license ( I am a nurse). Still no idea what was going on and why this was happening. Now I am homeless and jobless living off my aunt because I can’t find work and she is taking me to court for stalking when I left the area got rid of Facebook and deleted her and anyone affiliated with her number off my phone. I don’t know what to do. How do I deal with this?

My coworker, who I have to sit next to all day long everyday, can be very annoying.
For one thing, she doesn’t want to be here. She hates this job and makes no secret of it. Even our supervisor, the head of HR knows she has been looking for another job for over a year.
She tells interns, new hires, current employees and even applicants–anyone who will listen–what a “horrible” company this is.
She makes snarky comments all day long like, “what do these people get out of interning here?” even though it’s actually a really good company and would be a great opportunity for any marketing student.
All she does all day long is complain and fill out applications for other jobs online.
In spite of all this, she still wanted to be flown across the country and put up in a hotel to represent the company at a convention in Las Vegas and was FURIOUS when she was not awarded the opportunity to go. She feels like the company owes her something.
Just today, she complained to IT that her computer was slow. So they brought her a new one. My computer is slow too, but they don’t have any more…so they gave the only one they had to her. But she is still not happy, because, “the screen is so small, and my vision is not the greatest…” and she’s really mad because the IT guy wouldn’t illegally connect her NEW laptop to her gmail account (it is blocked due to company policy,) like another IT guy did for her with her old laptop.
She refuses to do any bit of extra work around the office, so any time extra work is needed, our supervisors know to have ME do it, not her. But then when there’s an opportunity for overtime, it is OFFERED to her as a courtesy, since extra money is involved.
She also eats hard boiled eggs every morning–about 3 of them. Which stink. That’s annoying but any time someone walks by and mentioned the smell, she’s in denila that it’s coming from her eggs.
And to top it off, she views me as her competitor so she takes any opportunity to make slightly bitchy comments when others are around to assert dominance and show off.
Any coping strategies? I want to keep the peace…

At first I said nothing because I was still in training even though I have had 4 years experience in the line of work, now the women are starting to knit pick on alot of stuff and even 1 gentleman has started to do the same. I have been polite and bit my tongue alot. My boss did make a comment that he knows the females there can be a little bossy at times and that I just need to find my niche`. Today one other female called me over the phone to let me know that there was someone sitting in an unauthorized area. (I work Security). I did see the person but they had been in no danger or threat but I asked him to move anyway.Then I get done hanging up the phone and she calls back to remind me to return keys before I left. ( I was filling in for someone else at their locked office) I told her I would not forget and she asked me what exit I was using and I told her and she said I was not permitted to use it because it was under construction, I told her the boss had left me in the same door so I was leaving out of it. She said to watch that no other employees saw me. I told I was not dingy and I would keep an eye out. She made sure I knew she didn’t want to be accused of calling me dingy. I left for my other location a few minutes early because I swore I was going to lose my temper! I mentioned my situation to another coworker who actually trained me and he said those people need to mind their own work and not go after me. He told me to report it to the boss. I figure I should just put up with it a few more weeks and establish myself and if they don’t get the hint then…go to the boss and then complain. Any ideas of how I should go about establishing myself and what to say to these people so they will leave me alone so I can do my work?

Would you ever consider sending your child to a Christian private school if it were the only private school within 50 miles?
We live in a town of about 18,000. There is one public elementary, middle school and high school. There is also a Christian private school (K-6 only) that is affiliated with the local Catholic church. It is on the church property and for many years was ran by nuns. You no longer have to be Catholic to attend.
It’s a very good school, classroom size is 10 to 24 students. They have excellent test scores. I am an atheist and my husband is agnostic. Our daughter is now 3 so we have 2 yrs to decide. I am doing research on this school and all students must attend mass weekly, learn about religion and pray 3 times a day. We have taken our daughter to church maybe twice. The religious aspect of the school would be new to her. This school seems to be a much better school than the public elementary, which has suffered a lot with budget cuts in the last few years. My coworker works fulltime at this school and I don’t like what she has to say about it.
I am just seeking opinions of other atheist parents. Thank you.
