There's a difference between setting boundaries and looking down on other folks and their ability to not be assholes to each other if they would just bother a little bit.
Oh, I do 'suck it up and do my job'. In fact...I think this is the first time I've complained about my job other than the occasional 'where is my truck' and 'god I'm wiped'. Other than that? I work hard, keep my trap shut, don't gossip, and don't try fucking with folks.
...well, okay, except the drivers that have a problem with a girl doing a man's job. Them I usually smile at and tell them how long I've been doing the job they think I cannot do.
And I've kept it for close to a decade. So...must be doing something right.
Honestly? It's usually the other folks that are rude. Hanging up in the middle of sentences. Getting angry and impatient when I run down the list of questions of things I need to know to put down for certain items before I can take them up. Cutting people off in the middle of sentences. And don't get written up for it, either.
