Thanks, everything is fine now. Mostly just weird stuff about work, so my coming online is gonna be pretty sporadic for a while. I hope everything is fine on your end though?

Don't worry about me, I'm a lost cause, we're here to talk about how you're doing. Good to see you're better for the most part at least. Good luck with all the work business, you know I'll be around and answer if you ever gotta vent about it.

I don't think you're a lost cause personally, just know that I'm willing to listen though if you ever need it. Thank you, work is... well work, and sometimes my co-workers can be a little annoying at times too, I feel bad saying it like that though.

I think I am, but regardless that's another topic for another time. Back to you, of course, you're very welcome. I know how you feel though as far as work goes like that. Listen, since I've met you you've been nothing but sweet, and friendly, and well sometimes when people bother you you've just gotta let it out, so really you have no reason to feel bad for saying that. Let's be honest here if you feel annoyed by them then they must be pretty bad so.

Sometimes work is so draining, and working at a restaurant is already bad enough with the occasional costumer being rude (and in some cases worse). Recently we got a new waiter, he was alright at first and mostly kept to himself and I'd have the occasional chat with him about stuff like gaming, anime, and certain sports on our lunch break, well a couple days ago he started getting aggressive in our convo's for some reason. Like I'd mention an older anime I recently re-watched and he'd scoff and suddenly changed the topic, usually I have no problem if the other person wanted to change the topic of our convo, but the way he went about it kind of threw me off. It's also only with me he started getting aggressive with, everyone else he's nicer to, I brought it up with another co-worker and she told me to brush it off and I'm taking it too personal, she also mentioned he likes me or something? Apparently he asked her if she knew my cell number (she doesn't), which is weird to ask, we weren't that close. My parents and brother told me I should bring it up with the manager, I probably will on Monday, but I don't know if there's much he can do, and the question he asked the other co-worker was after their shift so nothing he could do on that part. Maybe I am taking it too personal, I don't know, it's confusing and annoying at the same time. And him asking her for my cell number rubs me the wrong way regardless if he was aggressive or not.

Sorry, had to vent that out a bit. On a lighter note, I didn't even notice at first you became a mod! Congratulations!

First off there's no need to say sorry about that need to vent, I mean I did let you know you're welcome to vent here so.

I hear you on that draining bit especially. Not sure if I ever told you but I just work in a grocery store myself so I'm always dealing with people too. I don't think you're taking it too personal, honestly. If I'm trying to pinpoint the frame of mind here I think your other co-worker could be right. This sounds like a case of maybe having a crush or something, because sometimes people can be outright rude when they feel something. Not really sure why, but it is true. Either that or he's just turning out to be a jerk for no valid reason. Definitely weird trying to ask someone else if they have, and would share, your phone number though for sure. I gotta agree with your family about bringing it up if this issue is continuing. Even if your boss can't do anything, if you feel uncomfortable, well it needs to be addressed, I feel anyway.

Ah don't worry about that, it only just happened this week so pretty missable! But thanks a bunch!

That's true, though sometimes when I vent it can go on and on so I try to catch myself with that lol.

I really appreciate your insight though. I think you and my co-worker might be right about him having a possible small crush, this morning when I got to work he met me outside and asked (still in a rude way kind of, but not as bad as before) if I wanted to go hang out with him after work. I told him no and said I was busy (which was true, had to take my dad to get his check-up done anyway) and he just did this half shrug motion, he avoided me for most of our shift afterwards so I guess he might've been irritated? I did talk to my manager about him though, he told me not much can be done but he did write everything down (which I'm assuming for reference just in case anything happens), he also said he'll at least talk with him so I wonder how that'll go. Thank you though, I think another push but this time from a friend to talk to my manager about it really helped.

That makes sense, of course I wasn't on for too long or at all for the past couple weeks, so I missed the day when you became a mod. That's so cool though, I know you'll be a great mod!
