What do u think is going on with her?
I think she matches people’s energies. I’ve been around long enough to know who does it and who doesn’t. I guess I do it too.
I feel like I’m watching a tennis player. 🎾 she sends it back to them.
But she can’t sleep? Is she sending it back or letting it drag her down?!
I don’t know.
I didn’t know she couldn’t sleep?
She’s not sleeping. She’s still going over it in her mind…
I haven’t seen her “play tennis” to this level. It would drain me too. Honestly, I don’t know how she even did it in those moments.
I think it takes a level of bravery. Nobody expected it out of her, either. She kind of masks things in a joke.
Why… does she do that…
I don’t know, but I noticed a lot of Aussies do it too. And I recently learned it’s not actually a joke, they’re throwing shade. The whole time all these years I thought everybody was getting along and joking around — no they’re actually being really passive aggressive!
Then if ur NOT Australian and making a joke that’s a genuine joke, they’re suddenly taking it as passive aggressive?!?!??!!?! 🤯
Oh…? Do u think… she’s feeling attacked??!?!?!?!?!?
NOBODY INTENDED TO ATTACK HER.
It doesn’t make sense if she’s feeling that! Maybe it is too much caffeine?
I’ve worked with other Aussies. I never noticed the passive aggressive joking thing. R u sure it’s an Aussie thing and not just her?
I don’t know but I think there’s a very high percentage it’s not just her.
Hmmm… so all the Aussie coworkers understand these nuances but others don’t?
People KNOW these things — generally. We all KNOW this as a general concept. But I observed it in her recently. I was surprised to see it.
Who triggered it?
I don’t know.
So she’s just making passive aggressive jokes not aimed at anybody?!
Maybe EVERYBODY IS TRIGGERING IT. MAYBE SHE HATES ALL OF US. Who knows?!?!?!
She doesn’t hate all of u. She likes the ones with MY star sign.
What the fuck is your star sign? 😑
(Says the star sign).
How the fuck would I know which of our coworkers have that star sign?!
Well. Somehow, she knows.
I’ve never heard her talk about star signs unless it was her own. She’s always like “virgo ♍️! Oh I’m a Virgo! Ur a Virgo! We’re all Virgos!!!”
(Chuckles) yeah that sounds like her… 🥰 (smitten)…
Anyway I don’t think u should worry about her. I think she’ll be fine after her holiday. She started talking about that as something to look forward to.
I’m LESS WORRIED about coworkers who have something to look forward to.
Oh? 👀
U don’t wanna know. It’s not your problems. It’s got nothing to do with you two.
🤔 hmmm…
Do u think I should send her flowers or something? To cheer her up? 💐
I don’t know… I don’t think I’m qualified to answer those kinds of questions.
What if… I gave u some money to go buy a box of Krispy Kreme donuts or something as a gift from a customer? To say thanks and appreciation for the whole team’s work?
Ugh… that has never happened before.
U’ve never received chocolates or donuts or other gifts from customers?
We don’t work in that kind of retail. We don’t have “regular” customers.
Yes u do! She’s told me about them!
Huh? WTF?!
There’s some she KNOWS. She’s so friendly she KNOWS they live in the suburbs around that shopping area and they go for a walk and they go into ur store and she talks to them and SHE KNOWS THEM AS REGULAR CUSTOMERS.
🤣🤣🤣 What the fuck?!??!! This is the first time I’m hearing about this!!!
She’s so FRIENDLY. They TALK TO HER ABOUT THEIR STUFF. Just like other coworkers! And anyone! They just start TALKING.
Hahhahahahahhahaha!!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
