I still feel fed up with this place. Well to be honest I feel more fed up than ever before with this place. I need to get out of here and into somewhere new. I want to get away from insufferable work colleagues more than ever.

On the upshot of yesterdays post I sent an email to my boss asking him why I had been overlooked. He was out of office all day yesterday so it made it necessary for me to put up with "Ms Tactless" flashing her thank you card at everyone and telling them how she didn't even do anything for it.

This morning boss was met by "Ms Tactless" grinning and gloating about her award. "I think it may cause problems" she said but nonetheless has continued to waggle the card under the nose of anyone who wants to see it.

The boss' reaction was similar to mine. He didn't see how she'd been given an award when she hadn't done anything. He told her this but the gloating continued nonetheless.

Anyway he read his email and took my point on board. Even commented on it which is unlike him. I made the point that I thought it was out of order and if I wasn't getting anything then Ms Tactless shouldn't as she had contributed sweet FA.

He claims to be looking into it yet somehow I don't believe him. Meanwhile I get to stare at the thank you card which has been placed staring at me.

My issues are multiple

1) she passed comment on how it would potentially cause problems yet continued to gloat.
2) I went above and beyond the call of duty to do everything asked of me even things out of the remit of my job - just a thank you would put a smile on my face.
3) the boss knows I am irritated by this yet seems unprepared to pull her up on the whole thing - potentially because he fancies her.

I want to be the bigger person over this but I am sorry - I can't. I have asked my agency to get me out of here and because of the situation for once they are actually trying to help me out here.
