Not in a good way, but in the completely absurd way. I'm sure she's unpleasant, but from waaaaaay over here, it's pretty comical.</p> <p>You, on the other hand, are really a doll for being so responsible and helpful. Way to go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otupdate-the-coffee-conversation-follow-up-and-my-second-rash#post-478278 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 08:17:36 +0000 AJ 478278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ACK! Her attitude gives me a rash!</p> <p>That was very kind and professional of you to try to have a talk with her. It's very frustrating to watch people sink their own ships. Hopefully she'll learn soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otupdate-the-coffee-conversation-follow-up-and-my-second-rash#post-478209 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 05:56:36 +0000 Marley 478209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE that dress - and really think you did a good job in the way you handled the relationship with the other woman! So sorry about your rash - that just sounds miserable! Hope you get better soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otupdate-the-coffee-conversation-follow-up-and-my-second-rash#post-478204 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 05:49:18 +0000 Diana 478204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ick! What an awful, negative person this girl must be. Some people really just do not get it. Good thing you don't have to deal with her any more! This is negativity that you do not need.</p> <p>So sorry to hear about the rash! I'm glad you figured out the source (both primary and secondary) though. In cases like this, I revert to using only my mildest cleanser (my glycerin based face wash) and Eucerin cream. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otupdate-the-coffee-conversation-follow-up-and-my-second-rash#post-478195 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 05:41:19 +0000 Lantana 478195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What rotten luck that her orbit through life intersected with yours. I think you were right and brave to confront her and that's it, finito, there's no more for you to do. I hope your skin comes good. There are so many darn skin enemies out there, aren't there?<br /> And that dress is blissful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otupdate-the-coffee-conversation-follow-up-and-my-second-rash#post-478177 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 05:24:46 +0000 Suz 478177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ouch, ouch, and ouch!! </p> <p>Hope your new medicine(s) help - i.e. new cream and new junior! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otupdate-the-coffee-conversation-follow-up-and-my-second-rash#post-478078 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 04:01:35 +0000 Sveta 478078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>it sounds like she has a BIG problem. So she does not like comments on what she wears but she feels it is her right to make comments to others? Her world is really screwed up big time! You tried to help her, she rejected - well, life will teach her the hard way...<br /> That is awful about the rush and having an allergic reaction to the treatment - poor Lyn! I hope it will heal soon - keep us posted!<br /> Cute dress but I think you are right, you can shop your closet for a similar look - wise Lyn! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otupdate-the-coffee-conversation-follow-up-and-my-second-rash#post-478064 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 03:45:59 +0000 celia 478064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't remember if I commented on the first thread (old age I guess) but this seems to me like a very messed up girl. In logical terms if when you comment on what she wears you are jealous then when she comments on what you wear she is the jealous one.<br /> It was very kind of you to try to reach out to her and I believe that down the road she will understand what you were trying to say.<br /> I am so sorry about your rash.At least now you know what was making it worse.<br /> Not trying to be an enabler here but that dynamite dress looks like something you would wear well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otupdate-the-coffee-conversation-follow-up-and-my-second-rash#post-478037 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 03:16:31 +0000 fern 478037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm impressed you tried to help her, even if she can't see it that way.<br /> Hope you start feeling better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otupdate-the-coffee-conversation-follow-up-and-my-second-rash#post-477998 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 02:29:24 +0000 rae 477998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oy, this poor girl really has a chip on her shoulder... "You wish you were like me"? Really? Isn't that what women always yell at one another on trashy talk shows? She is definitely compensating for something... I don't think she will wake up to her behavior until it directly affects her in a very negative way. Even then, some people will always be victims in their own minds... </p> <p>Anyway, yes, you did all you could. Thank goodness you will be free of her after this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otupdate-the-coffee-conversation-follow-up-and-my-second-rash#post-477986 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 02:16:25 +0000 annagybe 477986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not nurse, but you did the right thing. If she makes it to residency, she'll get hers. Nurses can quickly make a residents life hell, just by clarifying every single order. Excuse my language. I work in training hospital with med students, &amp; residents. The med students I deal with are so meek. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otupdate-the-coffee-conversation-follow-up-and-my-second-rash#post-477973 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 01:59:07 +0000 Mo 477973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh about the associate! And interesting that she found you commenting on her apparel inappropriate but she was happy to do so to you. As for the rash - sounds just like my situation. The cure is as bad as the ill! I also was allergic to my topical antibiotic, which led to secondary cellulitus. Yeah, the burning, searing pain is lots of fun. I hope you get it cleared up ASAP. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otupdate-the-coffee-conversation-follow-up-and-my-second-rash#post-477968 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 01:56:43 +0000 mm88 477968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>People like that will get it handed to them someday....and not in as nearly a nicely way as you have put it. </p> <p>GET BETTER SOON! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otupdate-the-coffee-conversation-follow-up-and-my-second-rash#post-477966 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 01:53:30 +0000 Queen Mum 477966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please pardon my ignorance, but what exactly is a junior clerk?</p> <p>Whatever it is, this one really takes the cake. And what are you supposed to be jealous of, her legging laden butt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otupdate-the-coffee-conversation-follow-up-and-my-second-rash#post-477953 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 01:45:03 +0000 Jonesy 477953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, she just sounds more and more appalling! Well, you have done your duty and can do nothing more. I hope she doesn't harm too many people once she's a doctor :). </p> <p>Sorry about your rash--here's hoping it will all be cleared up (pun intended) soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otupdate-the-coffee-conversation-follow-up-and-my-second-rash#post-477940 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 01:34:46 +0000 Kari 477940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good riddance indeed, Lyn. You do what you can, and if she's going to ignore your advice, that's her perogative - but she certainly needs to know it's not okay (totally inappropriate) to make comments about other professionals like she did, vs. approaching someone privately to share concerns about the negative perception that a wardrobe choice might convey about someone's level of professionalism.</p> <p>I've recently had a somewhat similar recurring encounter to yours where someone was making comments at inappropriate times &amp; to inappropriate people, and it is miserable.</p> <p>So sorry that the rash is being even more reactive! Holy cow. I hope your dermatologist is able to find a solution finally. Do you think it's possible that you may have a latex allergy/irritation, just knowing where you work? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otupdate-the-coffee-conversation-follow-up-and-my-second-rash#post-477907 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 01:09:52 +0000 lyn* 477907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I had a coffee and a sit down with that girl to talk about 1) making comments about other professionals and 2) her wardrobe. She told me that she did not appreciate it when people like me gave her comments about what she wore - and that it was mainly because I was jealous ("You wish you were like me") ... and she did not see why she cannot use nurses as personal handmaidens. I am rotating off the service, I am also washing my hands clear of this matter. Good riddance.</p> <p>Rash update! I got a cream from my family doctor. My rash started to blister EVEN MORE. The very kind dermatologist took a look at it for me - yeah; I'm allergic to that original cream. So I have an allergic dermatitis on top of whatever I had in the first place. FML.</p> <p>On the plus side, I met a very graceous junior clerk today. She had the cutest tall boots ever. *gush*</p> <p>Much love,<br /> Lyn</p> <p>PS: New dress at Dynamite I'm drooling over ... but I think I can replicate the look w/ the obis I already have. Saving up my pennies for another Halogen purchase. You ladies have me hooked! :)</p> <p>PPS: Thanks for helping out my friend on YLF forums </p>
