I think it depends on how many colleagues you can lean on. If you are really all alone....eeeeks! But if you have a good supportive team who you can call/text and you get to shadow for a few weeks (not days), then I'd say go for it.

Thank you Luis! I found the app and am going to give it a try. Excited!

I used to think like some other suggestions: ignore it, suck it up, or say something passive aggressive. But you know, over a long time, it started eating at me. Like I'm having to hide myself and pretend I'm someone else. Now I just say it plain and clear, in the nicest way possible: "I know you're trying to be nice, but that statement/question really isn't." This is being true to what I really believe in that situation.
