I am a sociologist by trade and I have found that I was a part of a social observation without even knowing I was in the observation and observing.  I have observed the wolf pack in action  and now I am going to write about the pack. The pack may exist for men but it is prevalent among women and I think all women will be able to relate to these stories of the pack....

    It's funny still being a girl and getting past the wolf pack. I read a short story the other day about wolf packs. It's so funny that in a wolf pack there is the alpha. There is always the one wolf vying to be the alpha and the spot can be lost.  This means that the alpha is always on the defense protecting her spot in the pack. Then there are the betas who follow the alpha. Well in the world of girl (and I say girl because these are not women. A real woman would stand on her own and not follow the pack so these are girls) the alpha who is not really that great but is the best in the current group and will never let someone better come in as she is worried about her pack starting to accept the newcomer. I just left a job where the pack was crazy and I am going to tell you about the crazy.
      Names will be changed but the details are crazy and true...

     So let's start from this day and work our way backwards I will change names but this story is going to be unbelievable and might make you say wow people like this exist.
        In the beginning I come into the pack and I get told how I am too happy, I do not have to wear makeup every day, and I am too skinny. Please ladies tell me have you ever in your life said any of these things to anyone? Then ask yourself have you ever said these things to yourself? If you would not look at your self in the mirror and say to yourself you are too happy with your life you should get a little more depressed, then you should never say it to someone else. Slap your self and then think before you speak. With that said let's set up the actual pack to give you a better understanding of why the pack behaves this way.
 "The pack" in this first chapter will seem familiar to the ladies and you will be able to pick yourself out in the pack or pick out others in the pack. The people in the stories will basically be the same in every pack and you will start to see the Amy, Sharon, or Dee in the pack at your work, family, or school and later other pack members will be added based on other stories.
        The Pack:
        Sharon at the most recent office thinks that she is the leader of the pack but she is not. Amy is actually the leader of the pack but she let's Sharon believe that she is the leader.  Amy has daddy and control issues and is a spoiled brat who always wants her way. Sharon follows Amy but Amy makes Sharon think everything was Sharon's idea when really Amy put the thought in her mind. Sharon is a little dense and does not realize that Amy is manipulating her and she probably never will. Dee is the lost one who just follows them blindly and does not think. She has mommy and daddy issues so she defends herself with sarcasm like her mother does with her and she follows whoever the perceived leader is of the pack. She is the smartest dumb person you will ever meet because she knows how to play the pack leader but she is not very efficient on her own. She is a manipulator of people but she is defensive.
     So the pack leader Amy saw in me as a threat. She is married but wants all the attention from the male boss (daddy issues). She sees that any means of someone else talking to him is a threat to her territory. I asked myself often does her husband know? Did she sleep with him before? Why the defending of territory that should not be yours? Dee was the same way and it was creepy because they were both married but touched the boss inappropriately (in my mind for married women) and talked to him inappropriately. This is something I have noticed at more than one setting and will be a reoccurring theme in these stories.  The crazy continues in this first story and it only gets crazier. New stories but same wolf pack setup almost the same pack in each place.  The current story will be continued and the drama will unfold. In the mean time think about your work, school, or family and see if you can pick out the Amy, Sharon, or Dee in your life and your pack...
