Is there a rule that to work in an animal hospital you must have the mentality of a jr high student? If so, I need switch jobs. I work with some of the most catty, gossipy people ever. One person is like 50. 50 and gossiping like a teenaged girl. The gossip and cattiness isn't even towards me (as far as I know anyway) and I still find it very annoying. I find many people to have annoying habits..I just ignore it. I don't whisper and talk behind their backs. (this vent aside, lol) Sweet jesus. It's an incredibly stressful workplace anyway, due to a very bitchy, most likely bi-polar pseudo boss, why would you add to that?!
