Did you ever have a suspicion that someone is out to get you?

I come into my office, at the most, two times a week.  And when I do, my hours are condensed.  This is not because I'm not working a full day, but instead because most of my counterparts are in an earlier time zone, where I'm starting my work day early, getting downtown for a meeting in the middle of the day for a in-person meeting, then getting home to finish up my work.

I have a feeling that seeing the assumed liberty I have with my job with some of the people who sit around me is ticking them off.  The people I sit around are not on my team, so they don't know what I do.  They are younger as well, just starting out their careers.  I've also made best buddies with their manager, who I know they look up to on a personal level (what he does to his cube, I then see them do to their cube). Stupid shit like that, that I'm just too old to care about.

Well, what I've noticed this week, after I brought my buddy, their boss, beer back from Wisconsin - and he's bringing me some from his friend...my name plate was removed, and my mail is missing.

Seriously.  Isn't this stupid?

But here is the thing...my mail is a regularly distributed newsletter.  There are only 2 people in my mail-code, and the other girl's was in our slot.  In the 5 years here, we've never had a partial delivery, when the rest of the firm has theirs in their slot.

And last week, my name plate holder...yes, the holder was taken off my wall, with my name plate put on my desk.

Weird?  Yes.  I have a feeling I've pissed someone off unintentionally and unknowingly.  I have a feeling it is the young girl behind me...I said hi this morning, and reflecting back, I don't think she responded.

Does this bother me?  Not really at all.  It's kind of amusing.  And like the awesome quote on my desk "What other people think of you is none of your business."

But the thing is, I hate to put down women, but women, especially younger women are so darned petty.  I've been there, I've done petty shit, but seriously?

The bottom line...I guess I'm having a problem pissing people off lately.  I did it this weekend with another mom, I'm clearly doing it at work with people I don't even work with.

Now, going back to "What other people think about you is none of your business" - is it my business to try to remedy these things, or do I keep on, keepin' on?
