[QUOTE="Squire Fulwood, post: 340745, member: 44622"] [b]Re: How would you handle this? Work colleagues taking the mi[/b] I think your problem might stem from your bid to get a more secluded desk. I was a staff manager for years and there was never a more competitive situation than the one where an office move occurred. Tape measures came out, unions were involved and much opinion was aired. Having diabetes and using the fact for a secluded desk would not evoke sympathy since in such times no prisoners were ever taken. In their eyes your request is probably seen as a gambit and they will trot out their corns, bad legs and backache if they were able to. What they are doing is unfair and you could take the paths suggested above. I wonder what would happen, though, at the appropriate time if you stood up, lowered your waist band and injected yourself as though it were the most natural thing in the world. If you can manage a bit of blood all the better. I guarantee that there will be a move to stop you doing that within minutes. Obviously you wouldn't want to go to the toilets to inject due to the risk of infection. Testing your blood and accidentally smearing it on the stapler would be good too. [/QUOTE]
