Not Going to Work Today

I had the last two days off but I am calling out today. Not to get into specifics, it's a female thing. And sometimes it is worse than other times. nuff said.
Also having some issues at work and I don't feel like dealing with it today. I am seriously considering going back to a cashier. I will try and condense this version of what's going on. There is a lady who started in jewelry one week before me. Before that she was on the grocery side of our store but injured her back. She can't lift more than 10 pounds so could no longer do her job. Well she has come into our department with the idea that she is going to run things. She treats me like I don't know anything and won't let me help with things, like stocking jewelry. However she has no problems letting me deal with our sunglass wall. We have to constantly keep it stocked, neat and organized. She also leaves all of her trash for me take care of at the end of the night. She loves leaving notes for our department manager. One day she wrote that the sunglass wall was a disaster when she came in, that she had had it all organized when she left at 7 the night before. As I am the night shift person, she was implying I did nothing all night. I really do not need the headache. So maybe it's a combination of nerves and female problems that is causing me to call out. Besides the new girl has night shift today also so my shift is covered. I really don't want to deal with her. I had stopped in the store yesterday and told my dept. manager I needed to talk to her. But as it was work related I would need to be on the clock to discuss this with her.
One of the things I loved about working at walmart was the no stress level. Now there is stress and I am not liking it at all! If I were to go back to being a cashier it would be a pay cut and probably my hours would be cut way back. But at this point no amount of money is worth the aggravation. This woman has caused problems for the other ladies in my department as well. But they have been in jewelry for years and are higher up than her. I don't feel like having to defend myself against her accusations and snide remarks. People would think I went back to cashier because I couldn't handle jewelry. They can think what they want, I would know the reason and that's all that matters.
So it's a mental health day for me.
