Work is hard, said Alexey. And he is right.

Work gets hard guys.

Funny thing is that relaxing is no less hard.

Alexey

Alexey,

boredom takes some doing also, like I have all this time on my hands and not doing so much with it, relaxation is one of the hardest things to master,

ste

alexey - i am sorry things are tough right now -
it's strange - i hope there is not offense by
how i reply - but i am reminded by your style of writing - of a book i bought at a booksale on the street -
it was an old library book - that was a russian play called "he who gets slapped" -

for some reason - your style here reminds me of it.

hang in there alexey - it's good to see you-

mark

(((((Alexey)))))

same feelings here...

Mark, Hi.

It is weird that you mentioned that very book. I can't identify it with the Russian original, but the problem of being slapped disturbs me. Very weird, I have been slapped at work and it provoked strong negative feelings and emotions. Maybe many survivors have this problem? You?

Thanks for reply, Ste, TJ Jeff.

Alexey

they slapped you?

that is illegal isn't it?

it was not painful. It was just a slap from behind as a pal does. One time it was different, but the person who did it apologized.

Alexey

this is not good - they should not be touching you. this is my opinion - i was once punched at work - and i was not happy when she did it -

i was not in the moood to get into a lawsuit -

but - this person and the company - did not have the right to do this to me -

nor is it good policy -

it's ok to set your boundary alexey -

take the person aside - and say - can you please refrain from doing that -

then you've done your job of not humiliating them -
and you set your boundary - clearly -

sorry man -

this girl who was my superior -

was having a bad day -

someone - i think a client - had left a disheveled mess in one area -

and she accused me of it - and before i knew it
she punched me for doing something - i had no idea about.

not good -

she was an asshole and crazy.

sorry to go on - this incident was so random

i was thrown that someone would punch me - for no reason in front of others -

i was gentlemanly - and she looked incredibly sorry - and had guilt on her ugly spectacled rat face -

and i could have sued big time.

but was too busy with life - and it's not my nature - though the money would be nice!

right now - but whatever it's not my thing.

OK Mark. I am sorry that you had that unpleasant (to say the least) moment at work. I hope you could share it with other coworkers.

As for me,

I told her she needed to be calmer. She slapped my left hand when I pointed out her mistake. I told many people at work about this accident, and the manager supported me. They all knew that that girl who slapped me was nervous and was taking sedative pills - as I do now Such a nervous work...

She apologized to me when we were enetring the metro to get to our home neighborhoods. I said ok, and she is actually a nice girl; just a bit nervous and she did not know me at all, but we bye nuts and sweets each other at present time.

Alexey

Alexey, some times women slap you because you are not returning their affection.
She probably fancies you

ste

Maybe Ste, maybe.

Alexey

The last time I had a girlfriend was 6 years ago. I am just not confident to face the new challenge of a girl who fancies me. Strange, but I want it, of course.

Alexey

Alexey,

I hope you can find a great girl, you deserve it of course
I can sympathise on what it is like, to just not have the courage, but hey, just think of the fun you could have with the right girl
