Ive been quite friendly with a girl at work over the year that she has worked there, we have gone out together, requested to be working togther, and just generally been "friends"
I use italics as it appears that I was just an idiot all along.
I have had a run in with this girl before described here
She is person A.
Since then things have been fine, I put it down to a bad mood, but now Im beginning to think that it was her true colours showing.
Today her phone was sitting on our little fridge and made a noise, which I assumed meant there was a call (it turns out to be just a message). I grabbed it and went to take it to A, when I noticed that there was a message already open. About me. And of course I read it.
Apparently she bitches about me as much as she bitches about everyone else behind their backs (and tries to get me to trash them too, but I wont do it)
This is the girl who I took to hospital and sat with her. She has told me how glad she is that we are friends, as she has no older female figure in her life to ask those sorts of questions.
She was trashing me with another girl, K, who is our head girls little sister,and who I have known for 5 years. Yes I always thought WE were friendly too. A was joking about how she had left a mess for me to clean up(which she did) as I unintentionally (I didnt know who had messed the stage up) got K in trouble for not cleaning up after herself(common courtesy I would have thought) and in her words im a "stupid whore" for not "keeping my mouth shut"
I think the catalyst for this was that I made 3 times the amount A did today, so maybe she was feeling bitchy.
Also my husband thinks it may just be unconcious, as Im studying, still making great money despite being fat (im an Aussie 14, 6foot tall) and these girls are both extremely thin, one is a single mum stripping to get by, the other does it for drug money. I also only work half the year, and spend the rest overseas.
So Im going somewhere, and will retire after University, with investments, while they will both probably be stripping until they are too run down and have to find other ways of getting money.
Well I learnt my lesson - no more favours for these girls, staying late, coming in early, covering for them when they are stoned off their nuts - and I certainly wont be forgetting A's debt to me, (she STILL owes me $40 since xmas, having paid back $40 over the last 4 months.)
Why the politics really?!?
My club is too small to not talk/be friendly to the other girls, but if they all carry on about me behind my back (though since they tend to do it about everyone else I shoulda guessed) why should I waste the energy.
Im there to make money, not friends.
I need to remember that.
