I've been very busy the last few weeks; It's hard to believe how much work it takes to get it all done. I think time management and increased focus helped me to get everything done effectively.
(My job can be pretty chaotic; there are evenings where I work late into the night.)
Finally I seem to have successfully resolved my work issues as well.
*Sucking it up and living with it.
*Directly address them.
*Make the decision and move on.
Well, after much thought, I decided that the second one seemed like the best option to me. I think it was the most professional way to handle it. So, I directly talked to my co-worker (the person who is the cause of my problem), having in mind that I was trying to resolve the issue and not escalate it. And yes, it worked!
What about you? What do you crave right now?
P.S. Here's a post on how are Bonnie and Clyde related to Micro-Economics, if you'd like to see.

other than food cravings i don't have cravings. i live my daily life fighting the craving for sugar. i have bread/sugar addiction. for over a year i have allowed myself to have one sugar dessert every other Saturday. good idea to address the problem. your job sounds like the one i retired from in 2006, i skipped to my car and laughed all the way home my last day of work.
Those cupcakes look YUMMY! Glad things went well with the co-worker. nothing like having a hostile environment to work in.
That's good to hear, Betty. Your option 2 for me is the best option.
Right now, I'm craving for ice cream. :)
I am glad for you resolving your work duties.I do the same choice as concerned work.
Delicious cupkackes.and i'm glad your feel good...What i craving????I feel like some grapes and good wine..=D

Glad to have you back, I've missed you. So glad to read that you are sorting out those work related issues. All the best Betty. x
I love your post.
Your narrative and the accompanying photographs.
I m also glad you have finished your project and you will have more time with us Betty.

Welcome back! So now I'm craving those cupcakes. :)
I'm glad you got that coworker issue straightened out - passive / aggressive types are the worst.
Always a nice feeling to resolve problems at work, so good for you!!
Those cupcakes look beautiful AND delicious!
Nice to see a post from you again, Betty. :)
Fantastic images.
I'm glad your conversation with your co-worker went well. Those can be very sensative and stressful things.
yummy cupcakes!
Such situations can be stressful indeed, Betty, and I'm glad you were able to address it, but that is seldom easy. You've earned the cupcakes!! I don't have many cravings, have to remind myself to eat half the time!! Hope the remainder of your week goes well! Take time to enjoy!
Sylvia
very interesting ideas and solve methods,regards.
I'm glad that you were able to get past a few tough weeks at work. Nothing like directly addressing a problem, I'm glad it all worked out for you :)
Hope you have a fun week ahead!
Good for you darling.....yammie cupcakes....love Ria...xxx..
lynn, well said!
Did you gun your co-worker down?
I am glad you are back to your friends..
I am craving for money, haha (I just got through my dictionary to find out what craving means)
Hugs and enjoy your freedom!!!!
Monika
I'm very glad you got the resolution and the cupcakes.
Hugs to you, my friend.

It isn't just co-workers that are passive-agressive, difficult and toxic. Friends and family can certainly qualify. You can avoid friends, but family, not always. I do try to steer clear.
Glad you got the issues worked out and the job done! Good to see you!
Glad you worked out the work issue. Being honest and calm can frequently work quite well.'
The cupcakes look good. I'm craving pizza with a thin crispy crust that I unfortunately can't bite or chew, yet.
Ha! My profile is centered around (7) cravings, and that never changes.
On a smaller scale, I've been craving sleep, as I have had a battle with insomnia lately.
But seeing you back in the blogosphere is like a craving that has been satisfied. I'm glad for you that you found a decent resolution to the situation that burdened you. :-)
Nice to see you back in blogland, glad you finished your project and everything worked out. I like the unusual painting with the faces and birds and also the pretty scenic pictures and cupcakes. Have a great week!
Dearest Betty, it's so awesome to see you back in your place. I'm very happy to hear your issue is resolved. There's no better way to deal with something than to just plain deal with it.
As for cravings, I wish I could say I'm craving food right now. I'm just really craving a big chunk of free time in which I can do whatever I wish to do. Oh, just the thought of it makes me smile. :-) Oh, well!
It's delightful to visit you always, Betty!
Love and hugs,
Nevine
Hello Betty, I wait you all good has gone.
Nice photographies and interesting pots.
Cordial regards.
Ramon
fantastic news that it worked! sometimes people are so aggressive that they act like you're the crazy one. I'm happy that it worked out for you. as for what I'm craving...warm weather that's here to stay. it is so warm in NY right now but I don't want to get too excited since it's so unseasonal!
Lovely to have you back dear Betty and I am pleased that your project is all worked out.
I am not craving food, a holiday is what I would love but I cannot see it happening.
Have a good day!
xoxoxo ♡
Tasty sweet Cupcake are good for the soul, beautiful image!

Oh, I remember those types of days in the corporate world. So glad to be out of it! But of course, we can create our own stress in different ways. Like the DIY project I'm doing now. What was I thinking! LOL!

Talk is good - and so is cupcakes! :-)
I'm glad to hear that you were able to resolve your work place issues and that you got your project finished. Both sound like a great cause for celebration to me. I've had breakfast, but those yummy cupcakes sure look good to me.
An excellent entry with a good story and very good photographs.
This type of situation can become extremely stressful. I missed you, welcome back.
Greetings. -
Hi Betty, I am glad you had your work issues solved and your project is done. Work and dealing with co-workers can be stressful. I love your photos and the cupcakes look delicious. My cravings are usually for ice cream. I love it. I wanted to ask you about one of your photos below at the Columbia Gorge, we will be visiting there this summer and the place on your photo is beautiful, is it easy to get to?
WOW- those landscapes are STUNNING!
I'm glad you were able to resolve the problem and I think you should totally give into your cravings. :)
Dear Betty:
Glad to know that you are well and happy. The pictures that you have posted really gave me a wee break from my other things of the day.
Right now I crave for a place which I have never seen. But my imagination has always taken me to places virtually.
Have a lovely weekend filled with warmth and joy.
Susan
I'm so glad everything worked out! A bad work environment can drain you!
yay! glad everything worked out!
terrific landscapes!
xoxo
Sorry about the work issues, Betty, but it seems there's always one of these people around. I'm glad you were able to resolve it amicably.
I'm always craving carbs -- bread, crackers, pasta... all the bad stuff! :)
Αγαπημένη μου Μπέττυ
Καλωσόρισες και χαίρομαι πολύ που τελείωσες την δουλειά σου και ηρέμησες.
Τι όμορφα τοπία και πολύ ωραία γλυκά!!!
Σου στέλνω την αγάπη μου και πολλά φιλάκια
Good to have you back Betty. It sounds like you have had a very trying few weeks.
I really enjoyed reading about the prisoner's dilemma. Thanks for sharing that.
I am craving for a sauna session in my own sauna installation that I haven't finished yet!
The C rating refers to the charge or discharge rate of the battery in relation to its capacity. external battery charger creates your life less difficult as it is incredibly uncomplicated to utilize by just slipping the external battery charger into the charger interface of iphone. People are of the mindset that they have been purchasing batteries for more than half of their lives so they know all about them. Top up with distilled or de-ionised water (the acid in the battery doesn't need replacing since it is not consumed).
