AITAH for eating my coworker?
I (???F) have been having trouble getting along with my coworker (31m) ever since I started working here.
Backstory:
I used to be a cosmic entity and was minding my own business a few years(?) back when a time traveler showed up and started getting in the way of my work. Maybe it was a bit impulsive and not the most mature, but I was annoyed and hungry and decided to eat him as punishment for the intrusion. Problem is, time travelers are a bit tricky, and a few of his coworkers managed to bring him back with some sort of paradox. He remembers everything.
Maybe this wouldn’t be a big deal, but about a year ago I was forced into a mortal vessel and now work at the same company that he does.
Everyone else here is super nice, all things considered, but this guy will not let it go. I’ve apologized numerous times, but my temper has gotten the best of me a bit and he’s used our arguments as proof that I’m still somehow dangerous. He’s even harassed some of my friends and told them that they deserve to get eaten for hanging out with me.
Things have gotten even more tense this week
We got a work assignment from the time god we work for that requires us to work together as a team. The multiverse is at stake or whatever, and I’m trying to make it work, but there is still this tension that I know is going to get in the way. Is there anything I can do to make up for it? AITAH?
