I stood up for myself today!!

So lately at work two of the men I work with have been really rude and degrading. I have no problems standing up for my family and friends but for some reason I can never stand up for myself. This has been a real problem for me and I have been trying to work on it but I always back down. Well back to these men. Yesterday they show up at Desert Vista HS which by the way is a 53 mile drive there and back, they drove out there just to yell at a coworker of mine because they wanted her to be at the studio when she was scheduled at DV. The funny part was they drove down there because she wasn't answering her cell phone because she was home SICK, if they had any brains they would have asked her manager or called me because they knew I was there but then again they are not so smart!! Anyway they get there and I am working with my friends and coworkers Anais and Sarah. We were all scheduled to be there because we had 30+ appointments but when they got there we didn't have any appointments still for 10 minutes so they decided to treat us like crap and tell us that we are lazy and there is no reason to have 3 people there. By the time they left all 3 of us were so mad and couldn't believe the way they had treated us. Sommer who is also the manager went to the owner and asked him to not send them down there anymore because they just make us feel worthless and he just rubbed it off and said that they are just joking around not to take it serious. I was so mad when I went home because that is not the first time it has happened. Normally we have to be at work at 6:45 but today our first appointment wasn't till 9 so we didn't have to get to the studio till 8. I got there and was getting the keys to the studio van so I could pull it up closer to the studio and one of the guys Scott says, I hope you don't plan on taking that van. I was still fuming from yesterday and replied, "I sure am!" and he proceeded to tell me I wasn't. I was like, "look here, that is the van I take everyday and I just filled it up with gas yesterday I am taking it." *Side note...we have 3 work vans and they have had the gas sifened out so only 1 van is supposed to stay over night at the studio and the other 2 go to our bosses house just 1 1/2 miles from the studio. Everytime scott has an earlier shoot he steals my van and leaves me with one that is broken or out of gas because he is to lazy to go pick up a different van, so I have enough with him!...but back to my story.* He then asked where his van was and I told him it was back at Lou's where it belongs and he was such a jerk and was trying to tell me that he only has to park it there over there on the weekends and I was so quick to reply NO he wants them there everynight. Is he retarded? Does he really think thieves only steal on the weekends...seriously get a clue!!! So I finish getting the keys and go to get my box of stuff to take and both Scott and Mike (the other guy) walk by and say, "Aren't you a bit late" I was so mad I was like, "NO...our first appointment doesn't start till 9, but thanks for checking up on me!" I am kinda upset because I did drop the F bomb during our little spat but seriously I stood up for myself for the first time to those guys and it slipped. I can't even explain how good I feel, I was so proud that I had to call Sommer afterwards and she was so happy and when I got back at the studio everyone that is tired of dealing with Mike and Scott were telling me how proud they were of me. I hate confrontation but I am so glad I finally let them know that they are not going to continue to walk all over me. This is a great day!!
