Boiled crabs.

Let's forget that I've been missing in action for a couple of months.

I'm here today because I'm steaming mad.

Let's talk about Crabby Worker. CW for short.

I came to work this morning and played a message on my answering machine. Germs, one of my coworkers, was looking for a document and wondered where it was. I found the document in CW's tray, outside her door. I thought of taking the document and giving it to Germs but thought an email would suffice, especially since neither of them have arrived yet. And also it didn't look like Germs looked at it all, and it was given to her on Tuesday.

I sent an email to Germs and CW, explaining that the documents have already been proofed by Little J and now it's in CW's tray. I also wrote, "CW, when you're done please pass document to Germs."

A little back story on CW. We are like besties at work. Well, not really. We don't have lunch together or anything but we email back and forth everyday. She always visits my office and vice versa and we laugh and talk about everything (well, most things). We get along really great and that's why I'm a little bit hurt right now.

Out of no where, she replied all to the email, "I've been passing documents to Germs for nine years, why is there a need for this email?"

I was a little taken aback. I replied, saying that Germs had been looking for it and soon after, Germs replied the reason why she was looking for it.

Germs called me and we had a little bit of a chuckle. She apologized for getting me in trouble and we both agreed that CW woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

A few minutes later, CW came to see me and asked me why I sent that email, and that I could have just called Germs and tell her that she has it. I told her I emailed her because the documents were not in an envelope and was not attached to any dockets so it was just me informing everybody. The document had been sitting there since Tuesday and I thought maybe she hadn't noticed. Though, I didn't tell her that part because I was flustered at the time.

Anyway, as she was walking away, she proceeded to make an impression that she's stupid, "D-uh, what do I do with this?" She was kind of doing it in jest but also in a mean and rude way. I kind of jokingly say after her, "It's just an email, I won't talk to you today." And she mumbled back, "It really bothered me."

Whatever.

The whole stupid thing is really bothering me right now. I'm feeling a bit better writing about it and now that time has passed a little. But a few minutes ago, I had to fight back tears.

Today I felt that she was acting like a bully.

Maybe I'm extra annoyed and hurt because she's a really good friend of mine at work. It was really uncalled for. Especially since what I did is part of my job. It wasn't like I sent the email yesterday and then re-forwarded it twice or something, because yes that can be annoying. But to those, all you have to do is reply.

Anyway, I've done it before and she didn't say anything then. Maybe she was irritated then and didn't tell me? Whatever, still my job to make sure things are on schedule.

Big sigh. Thanks for listening.

I'm going to try to ignore her today because I'm still feeling emotional about it.
