[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 596889, member: 831"] Seriously, the "students" are saying? Your co-worker has an acute maturity problem and your supervisor needs a crash course in Emily Post. I work with students, and if even ONE of them had said something mean or rude about another staff member, I would have put the smack down on that so fast their inappropriate heads would have spun like a top. I also would have calmly grilled my co-worker like a cheeseburger regarding her inappropriate conversations about a co-worker with students. All the while doing it with my ever-so-sweet Cheshire Cat grin on my face. And dressing up like her? Really? You mean in that middle school-like way? I would have laughed so hard at that one. Daughter was "accused" of that by a friend in middle school. I told daughter to tell her friend that MILLIONS of those pants that she's deluded to think are only owned by her are worn by kids all over the world. Your co-worker seems to have delusions of her own. I have always had food issues that resulted in weight issues. I've been called "fat" plenty of times and middle age has only made it all the harder to grapple with it. I've had a student tell me that another student said something mean about my weight, but never another adult. Does it hurt? Of course. But I don't believe in losing weight to exact revenge or to "show them". Do it because YOU want to and because it's your health. WW is excellent. I do think that at times it is good for us to get a glimpse of how others see us. I was told the other day that I said "um and you know" too much and that I needed to eliminate them. I'm VERY sensitive to criticism and I really had to take a deep breath when I heard it. So, I'm working on it. It's funny, though, because I heard that same person do the same thing later in the day. I couldn't call her out on it because I need a letter of recommendation from her;) :smile: [/QUOTE]
