My co-worker is starting to twist the truth and say little white lies about me. This upsets me and will keep me on my toes, being one step ahead of her. Why are people like this??  Why are they jealous??  It's sad, but a lot of us have worked with people like this. I do not cause trouble at work, but I do have a limit to what people do to me now. I was treated horribly at another school I was at. The teacher I worked with really made me out to be the bad guy, and this made me feel like a terrible worker. Nobody should ever make you feel this way. I need to practice what I preach. I'm going to be nice about this and professional. My co-worker is not better than me. She's also an instructional assistant but thinks she's a teacher. You help people out, and they expect you to do more. The saying goes: "The more you do for people the more they want."
