Sounds like u r getting a raw deal.

Don't let it get to u - always keep a positive outlook!!! If it is bothering how these ppl r acting - sit down with your supervisor & tell them how u feel!! Don't try shifting the blame, but discuss how u r working / get your work done, what u use the notepad for. & if this fails, really hammer it down - work really hard & show them just what u can do.

If it is still bothering u / hasn't been sorted out, then keep your eye open for other jobs - it'll be their loss if u go.

Hope it works out - & just remember - things will sort themselves out in the end. Always look on the bright side. What comes around, goes around.

Hope this helps,

Mike
