Why do people feel the need to be disrespectful and hurtful?? Why must they bring others down?

Here's the skinny.  I've been at my current job for over a year now.  13 months and 5 days to be exact.  I have worked my @ss off in these 13 months:  mandatory overtime and time spent away from my family.   I've worked in one month all but 4 days!!!   I knew that the potential payoff would be great.   I have proved that I can do the job.  My boss' boss thinks highly of me.  Raise time came up last month.  I got a 14% raise.   yes, that's $14%..which equaled to $1.75 more an hour.  Hey, I worked hard for that raise.  I had to prove that I could do the work, and I did!!!

The other admin assistant has been working here for 3 years.  She didn't get a raise her first year.  oops.  How is that my fault? I didn't work here then.  

Today, our bonus pay hit the accounts.  Talk about excited.  I didn't get a bonus last year.  Nor did I expect one.   I hadn't been here long enough.   Now the other admin assistant is pissed  off becuase I got a bonus.   What business of it is hers?   She's also Upset because of instead of an actual check this year, they direct deposited the money into our accounts.  She owed back child support and the state yanked the back child support.  Now She doesn't owe any back child support.   Again, how it my Fault? why the heck is she taking it out on me? 

She hates her job.  I can understand this.  I've hated jobs before.  But I also have gotten OUT of those jobs.  Dont stay where you hate your job.  Don't treat me like Poo poo just because I've worked my @ss off for the last year to get ahead. I didn't come from a contracting world.  Believe me, dealing with government contracts is a total bizarre even coming from my background. 

She believes she is the only one who has a right to vent.  Um, things happen here at work that I have no control over, but still get me so angry.  But I'm not allowed to vent about them, per her unspoken "rule"....

I give up.  I'm just going to blast my ipod w/lots of Creed and Scott Stapp and to Heck with her.   She totally has put a damper on what should be a joyous day.  I'm celebrating that there is $1800.00 in my account that wasn't there yesterday.  Isnt' that  a great thing?????

and that is my rant/vent for the day.....well, at least this morning.
