A few days ago, I got moaned at after putting a comment on a system at work, apparently someone found it "insulting". I did not mean any harm with it and tried to get her to explain why it was wrong. At the same time I mentioned that she had set up this system to send emails to the whole team which I find humiliating but she denies it. I had mentioned this several times before but she will not stop the emails. After this I had a break down due to the fact that I was never made for this world and possibly will never understand thing like this.
Does anyone else have any issues like this where someone cannot see your point of view?

ALL the time.

Maybe it is time to start looking for somewhere else to work. I usually find that applying for other jobs gives me a sense of power over a crappy job. I dont actually have to be sucessful, just the process of looking for something and writing an application helps me to remember that I only need to do my work - I dont owe my boss any more than that.

:D Failing that... you can emmigrate to Australia and come work for me! :D
