I was a little too honest with my coworkers. I told my clinical director he needs to learn to use his words a little better and actually ask if a treatment case is mine because I do all the @#%^ing treatment, rather than call everyone else in the universe about this family. (telling someone to use their words, if you don't realize, is what you tell a little kid when he acts out) I also said something snarky to a coworker about when she talked about how easy it is to get a parking space at noon when she comes to work (she works a few half-days, is a doctor's wife and a general drain on the agency). It doesn't sound like much snarkiness but in passive aggressive land it has been. And there are other cases, including the realization that if the whole staff wants something, like they did this week (and I won't get into it) and I disagree, I can get my way because I'm more direct.
Some of my friends here think I enjoy scaring my coworkers too much. God, bourgeois passive aggressive mother@#%^ers. I think it's a good time for me to be moving on.
Realize that I empathize and put up with stuff for my clients' sakes and the students I supervised and that's about all I can muster.
Do you enjoy making your coworkers squirm? :P
