Remaining sane at work

I have people trying to delegate work to me not even for our team and when I am assertive and respectful and refuse they get defensive. I have enough to do than other teams work.

A woman who works for our contractor refuses to call customers and tells me to call them. Yesterday was the final straw as I was in 2 meetings (I don't usually have meetings) and she emailed me asking to contact the customer if they are available that afternoon. It was 2pm when I got back so it was too late and I emailed back and said it not for me to be doing and if someone there would be contacting them. She copies in her manager and lies saying she has tried to call etc which he has a go at me saying I was unhelpful and copies in a manager of mine. I emailed back and said there was no mention of contact being attempted and that I always go out of my way to contact peoole if they can't. He backed off then. Sick these people lie.

It is pointless telling my manager as he ignores emails and is not bothered about staff wellbeing. He is obsessed with his cat and focuses on the cat in 1-1 meetings online, so unprofessional he can't leave the cat alone for 40 minutes. He even told me in my 1-1 if he does not reply to my email asking him to approve something to give him a 'kick up the ar*e'. I thought that was unprofessional and it is not for me to be chasing a grown man to reply to me.

I break up in a weeks time but wonder how I can remain sane in the meantime.
