OH MY ----ING GOD!!!!

[Deleted]

The lady next to me is DRIVING ME INSANE! My boss put me on the lead of a huge chunk of problem resolutions dealing with the acquisition our company just finalized in summer. So I have to divvy up the issues and help the others fix them as best they can. My co-worker next to me is asking me a question about EVERY DAMN PROBLEM... and there are like 15 pages of problems!!!! Like all I'm doing here is waiting for her to ask me a $%&@ing question, cuz you know, I don't have any WORK to do or anything...













GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

[lisabelle]

Let me talk to her, she must know you are busy on EE.

The girl behind me has moved on from mumbling under her breath to singing to herself.

Sorry, but I can't get Birdhouse in Your Soul out of my head!

I found out after I graduated that I used to whistle during exams and I was totally unaware of it. It drove my classmates nuts, can't believe anyone didn't say anything.

I'll trade all of them for the office wench with the dirty bare feet, empty bank account (yes, she cries about it) electrified hair "style" and chronic put-downs and "I've done it better/I've had it worse/Poor me, no one understands" drivel.

No wonder more people don't go postal in this country

The "I'd be fired if that were my job" part?

[Anne_in_VA]

The person I commute with constantly complains about anything and everything. Plus she's a know it all who thinks that whatever her opinion is on a subject, she's right! GAAK!

Makes me wish I could drive again!

She is mentally retarded (and the boss's DD) so I deal with it. But it still drives me crazy sometimes.

Crap, sorry to hear you know my coworker. She is the only person on earth who is ever right. No one else has an opinion worth listening to or considering. She just runs over any coversation she hears taking place. Even if you are on the phone with a client; she will just shout over you, as if the client can actually hear her (she has done this while I am wearing a visible telephone headset).

You're the only bee in my bonnet!

[Anne_in_VA]

Nancy - I think I'll tell her to move to FL since you already have her for a co-worker! This person used to live in northern Cal. and VA is just not up to her standards. Not only that, she says she can't find a guy to to out and have fun with, they're all too (insert negative trait here).

I've actually told her she needs to lighten up and be more positive instead of focusing on the negatives. Guess where that went?

[Deleted]

You're right. If that's my biggest gripe I've got it pretty good. ;D

[Bluerobin]

Only thing to do is to point our the error of their beliefs. Preferably use the words of someone they revere! I used to love those types.

[NancysSummerSip]

Oh, sure Anne....send her here. Then she and my coworker could spew at each other.

Hey, wait a minute...that could work

[Befferz]

I have one coworker who uses hand lotion that smells like WD-40, one who treats me like her personal admin, and one who bitches on the phone to her mother about her stepsons EVERY day. And she seems to be pretty obnoxious to her husband over the phone too. She seems nice enough at work, but apparently at home nothing is good enough for her. I feel sorry for her stepsons.

[ken a.k.a OMK]

I like WD-40. LOL

[NancysSummerSip]

Befferz, I used to work with someone similar. Cried to her hubby every day on the phone about the rotten kids, job, mother, MIL, etc. Smoked like a chimney (two or three smoke breaks an HOUR!). "Eau de parfum WD-40" would have been welcome compared to what she did smell like - a old, stale, full ashtray.

But the kicker...she left her personal cell phone at her desk when she went out for a cigarette. And she would leave it on the loudest volume ring. And if you were sitting near her cubicle, she actually expected you to answer it. Do tell...what part of "not in my job description" did YOU miss, sweetie?

[Befferz]

Hey, I don't mind WD-40, but I just think it's a weird scent for hand lotion! And yes, I have confirmed that it's really hand lotion, and not that she's trying to get high or something. #tongue2# In case you want to get some for yourself Ken, it's Burt's Bees Vanilla scent. Don't ask me how vanilla turns into WD-40...

And Nancy, that sounds worse than my coworker! At least she tries to keep the volume down on her rants, and she doesn't smoke, thank goodness. I would have turned off the ringer on her phone and shrugged if she asked if anyone knew how it happened... #angel#

[Anne_in_VA]

Ooooh Nancy - that could totally work! They could piss and moan to each other all day and leave us alone. The only problem with that is.....then I wouldn't have a ride to work!

Maybe I see working from home in my future???

[NancysSummerSip]

I know working from home is in mine. I am building up the freelance work, and combined with something part time, I hope to be able to do it this year.

I cannot wait for the day. All my fellow EE'ers will help me write that resignation letter.

ok so being a guy I don't expect to be complimented. However I do get the nice tie, sweater, and when I wear my yellow shirt. But that's rare. I would prefer people to tell me if something is wrong! I went into the Mens room and pulled my dress shirt through my zipper and closed the zipper on the shirt sticking out. Then walked around the office with my fuck'n shirt hanging out my zipper. No ONE said anything! I walked around everywhere in the office then around campus! NOTHING! maybe I'm not liked?

Yeah, they obviously don't like you Sometimes it's just awkward and you don't know how to say something... But maybe everyone's NOT checking out your package all day and just didn't notice

I know last time I went to the Dr's she had a booger hanging out... I just couldn't bring myself to say anything! And I had the hardest time not staring like "moley, moley, moley!!!" ;D

You could have fun answering the phone and then just breathing heavily into the phone and giggling insanely every so often.

OH! duh! that does make since GEEZ!! Big Cat stop taking things so seriously!

well I had a co-worker that had sauce on his face - yea a guy - while we were having a group lunch in a conference room. I just picked up a napkin and said here you can use this. HE said thank you.. I just want to be polite...but I can understand now that you mention it - it can be awkward.
