I have two friends. One I have been friends with for awhile and have known most of my life. We will refer to her as Miss Pees A Lot. The other friend, Miss Manners, I met through Miss Pees A Lot. I don't really talk to Miss Manners that much, but to Miss Pees A Lot enough to know when her feelings are hurt, if someone pisses her off, or screws up in her book.
Ok, so here is the situation. Miss Pees A Lot is pregnant and had her baby shower not long ago. She invited many people and since they were buying food and making tons of plans, having an exact head count was important. Come the day before, Miss Pees A Lot was sure of who was coming and all was set. The shower comes and everyone but one showed up. Can you guess who didn't show up? Yes, Miss Manners. Her not showing up is one thing, but there wasn't a phone call or anything. Not even a text message to say, "Hey something came up and I can't be there". NOTHING! Of course Miss Pees A Lot is human and her feelings were a little hurt. It wasn't so much that Miss Manners didn't show up. It was more that Miss Manners didn't bother saying she couldn't make it AND still hasn't bothered telling Miss Pees A Lot why she didn't or even mention in. Miss Pees A Lot STILL HASN'T HEARD ANYTHING from her.
To me, that isn't normal. That isn't very respectful at all, especially after Miss Manners almost wasn't allowed to go and then kept confirming that it was still on and she could go. I know that I would be so sad. I would be able to get over the fact they didn't come, but not even acknowledging it is just wrong.
How would you guys feel if this was your friends? Would you say something to Miss Manners? I don't know what to do. Maybe just not say anything to Miss Manners and be there for Miss Pees A Lot...

...at a loss
by Sassy
And no, this post has nothing to do about work. I know, surprising. But for once there is something other than work that is bothering me and it is far worse than any issue at work. It has to do with my mother. And I no longer know what to do.
My mother is a very protective woman and in most senses, a control freak. She hasn't liked since I turned 18 (or even before) and found my independence and wanted and started to venture out on my own. She has never been one to be ok with me having a boyfriend and spending my time with him and his family. This is something that has gotten worse over the years. She hates me being independent, and yet complains about any little thing her and my dad do for me. Makes zero sense to me, but what the hell do I know. So each time something gets thrown in my face, I make sure to correct it and it makes me even more independent from them. They haven't paid for anything of mine since I turned 21 or 22. Before then, they would help me out here and there with little stuff I think just to make them feel like I needed them or something. I don't know. But that has long since stopped and I never ask them for anything. Oh, but this doesn't stop her from bitching. That I have gotten used to. But what I can't get used to is her not being ok when there is someone in my life or if their family accepts me.
Lately, she has been really making me feel like shit. Here I am so happy with everything that I have going on and she is like a dark cloud trying to tear me down. I don't think that she doesn't intentionally, but she is still doing it. Just last week she told me that I have lost myself. That I no longer am the same person that I was. The funny thing is, I have become an even better person in my current situation. I am actually a responsible adult and doing adult things. I am not out partying every night of the weekend or any night possible during the week. I don't miss work because I am hung over or just don't feel like going. But that isn't good enough for her. Now she is complaining that I am not up around them and the rest of the family enough. I don't call my family enough. I don't do this and I don't do that. Half the shit she threw in my face I laughed about because nothing had changed. It was just something for her to bitch about. Why the hell can't she just be happy for me? Why can't she just be happy that I am happy and realize that I am a grown woman doing what I want to do and making a life for myself?
And why the hell is she so jealous of the other family? This makes no sense to me at all. My boyfriends family are absolutely wonderful. I have never been treated so well or accepted like I am now. They actually go out of their way to have us around. His mom is constantly calling me and emailing me. It is like I am a part of their family. I am always invited to everything, it is just assumed that I will be there unless we say that I can't for some other reason. This pisses my mother off. She feels that I have no need for them or something. She thinks that we spend all our free time with his family. This isn't the case. They just happen to invite us to do things every now and then. My parents have never once asked for us to come to their house. I always have to be the one to ask if we can come over.
I just don't know what to do. Yesterday my mother hung up on me over and issue that had to do with my boyfriends family and we still haven't spoke. Her exact words, "Well you better be sure to stay close to them." And when I told her that was wrong I got, "You know what, I am done fucking talking to you," and then CLICK. That is just part of the bullshit that I deal with from her.
His family has a work convention in March that is in Vegas. I have heard of it before, but never thought anything of it. My ticket is paid for. There was never a question of "Can you go?" It was just, I am welcome and I am going. To me, that makes me feel so good. To my mother, she hates it and can't deal with it.

...it being a Monday
by Sassy
Isn't it funny how the week starts out with Miss Thing already not working a full 8 hour day?? So crazy. She really kills me. I honestly can't remember the last time she worked a full 40 hour week. She was late so many days last week and left early a couple. And she has appointments a couple other days this week, including a hair appointment at noon on Thursday. Just incredible. Oh well.
I have found a new way of dealing with her. I either just straight up ignore her or I let her have a piece of my mind. I haven't been holding things back. When she upsets me (and it takes a lot more now than before) I tell her what she did and not to do it again. I am no longer scared to confront her on her stupid shit.
She wanted me to point out her "mistakes" and so about five different times a day, I call her out on them. A lot of times, it is in front of our boss too who is fully aware of all her mistakes. So really, now she just looks stupid because most of her mistakes make everyone say, "How the hell did she do that??"
I will give her some credit though. She does seem to be really trying to do her fair share of work so that we can't complain that she doesn't do shit. Now if she could just work her normal shift, all would be that much more better!

The Office
by Sassy
I swear it would be a miracle if for just one week, things could go well in my office. It truly would. This week has been a damn roller coaster. Since our lasagna lunch that Miss Thing did to kiss my ass, things have just gone crazy. She has gone from doing absolutely anything to going out of her way to do things AND beat me to work. I just don't understand. Why the hell can't there be a happy medium???
Let's start with Monday. Oh and let me add that this is supposed to be her early week. I show up to work expecting to see Miss Thing here and no Miss Thing. I laugh because I half expected it and then awaited the excuse that was sure to come on why we weren't graced with her presence. She didn't show up til 9:00 and I don't think worked on anything until at least 10:00. It was really busy in the office on Monday and I was incredibly swamped with a crazy amount of work. I made sure to be social with her, but also let it be known I had a lot to get done on. Well, throughout the day, I noticed that Miss Thing was competing for work. She was literally trying to answer the phone before me...which she really has to try at and also get work from the guys before me. It got to the point that I just stopped trying to answer the phone and absorbed myself with my own thing. I just figured, whatever.
Then Tuesday comes along. She is in one of her moods and is buzzing around and trying to be all important. I noticed her start playing the game of beating me to things, so I just formed a bubble and stayed in it. Well, the guys that we work with know that if they give me work to do, it gets done. There are a lot of guys that just put work in the in basket, but there are the ones that I am close to that will walk their work to me and know it will take no time at all for me to get it done rather than waiting at least an hour that it takes Miss Thing. On one occasion, one of my guys was in here and he went to hand me some work and Miss Thing got out of her chair, walked up to the guy who was right next to me and took the work to do saying that I was too busy and had other stuff that I was working on. I couldn't believe it. Since when do you ever go out of your way to do work!?!??!?! You don't. I let it go. Then at one point while she was down the hall doing who knows what, I had a guy come in that I was helping and then the radio went off. So I was writing down the work for the person on the radio when Miss Thing comes back in. Keep in mind, she has missed 3/4 of the conversation over the radio. I tell the guy I will get his work in and all of a sudden, Miss Thing pipes up repeating to me the small part she heard because she was trying to do the work. I, as calmly and nicely as I could, just let her know that I would do it because she doesn't have all the information. I finished helping the guy at my desk and when he went away, I let her know that she didn't even hear half of what was needed and that is why I was going to do the work. THEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, there is a then. Another guy comes in and him and I are chatting and I walk up to him to grab the work to be done and have it IN MY HAND, when Miss Thing rushes up from where she was just sitting there talking to another lady and GRABS the work out of my hand and says, "I will do this, you have done enough today." It took everything in my control to not fucking rip her face off. I just stood there taking deep breaths and then just walked back to my desk. You don't take work out of someones hands. That is just something that you don't do. Not to mention, as I am slammed with a crazy amount of work to do, she didn't bother asking if I needed help and in turn took almost a two hour lunch at her desk and spent most of it on the phone.
Monday and Tuesday were so annoying for me and I kept finding mistakes that she made that I showed them to my boss on Tuesday after Miss Thing had gone home for the day. Wednesday comes and Miss Thing comes to work saying that her uncle that had cancer passed away and so my boss said she was going to wait to talk to her about her mistakes. I thought that was only polite and went about the morning giving Miss Thing space. I expected the day to be quiet...oh how wrong I was. Our student and I were so boiling pissed by 10am it wasn't funny. Miss Thing then went to our boss, told her she was uncomfortable and asked if something was wrong that she didn't know about. So, our boss took that as the opportunity to approach her on her mistakes which only could have come about with me showing them to our boss. And that is when shit really got bad.
As soon as our boss was done explaining to her what she did wrong AGAIN and what needed to happen, Miss Thing piped up asking for another office staff meeting. My blood was fucking boiling. I knew exactly what she wanted to talk about. All she had to do was ask me about it and I would have talked to her about it. I kept working and tried not to talk to her because I knew this time, I wouldn't be able to be nice and I wouldn't be able to keep my mouth shut. That is when she comes to my desk with the work that our boss had talked to her about and all snotty like asked me if I needed any of it. The first two I told her she could throw away and that I needed the other one to file. It was then that it came spewing out - "Is this what you called the staff meeting for? Cause if it is, then you can just talk to me about it right now." She said it was that and some other things and we started to get into it and a customer walked in. My boss called and told me to pull her into the conference room, so when she was done I did.
I didn't get any nicer. It was in there that I told her how inappropriate it was that she was literally taking work out of my hand and that I didn't appreciate it. I let her know that I felt like she was competing with me and our student and that it was out of line. I said that it annoys us that she goes from not answering the phone to trying to beat us to it, from not doing work and now trying to do everything. I unleashed on her. She apologized and said that she just didn't want us thinking that she wasn't doing her share. I let her know that was all fine, BUT there needs to be a happy medium.
Then the real story came out. It was then that she let me know that she feels left out. That's right, she is 44 and feels left out because I am close to our 19 year old student and our boss. Not only that, but it makes her upset when the guys just bring work to me and not to her. I let her know that in no way is she left out of anything and that if the guys bring me work to do, that is their thing and nothing for her to worry about. I don't mind doing the work and if I need help or can't do it, it will be in the inbox for her to do.
Needless to say, I put everything out on the table and yesterday (even though she was a couple hours late) was a good day. She was more normal and neutral and not competing. Today...she called in.

Work Last Friday
Posted by: Sassy
I have been so busy that I haven't been able to post this, but have wanted so bad to share the story because I was highly amused by the whole thing.
Thursday was a bad day at the office. I was completely swamped with piles of work to do with our student not coming in and then Miss Thing leaving half day. Not to mention, Miss Thing worked on nothing of importance while she was at work and therefore only adding to my pile of crap on my desk. I didn't even get a chance to work on my own work until 45 minutes before my work day was over. I was very annoyed.
Miss Thing left early to take care of some personal issues that she was having and she thought that they would take her longer than what it did. She called and talked to our boss and said that she would come back, but our boss thought it best that she just stay gone the rest of the day. Miss Thing then told my boss that she doesn't know what is wrong with her or what is going on, but she knows that she has been so bitchy lately and not nice and snappy. She also pointed out that she ws fully aware that her and I had become very short with each other and so to be nice, she wanted to do a lunch, with just us, so that she can make up for all her bitchiness. I about lost my marbles when my boss told me this. I looked at her and started laughing. I was actually glad that she realized how bitchy she has been.
So Friday morning came and she showed up to work, late of course, with lasagna, garlic bread, and salad. I couldn't believe it. Why is she being so nice??? I don't get how she thinks that lunch one day is going to make up for all the work that she doesn't get done. I honestly could care less how bitchy she is. I just want her to do her work. I want her to get her fucking work done so it isn't piling up on my desk and causing me to do even more.
Lunch was wonderful though. I definitely left my office still full. I am hoping that since she realizes that I am being different with her that she will pull her head out of her ass and do more. Doubtful, but I can hope.

...Stupid Fucking People
by Sassy
Like the ones fucking with this blog and the people that are members of it. Honestly, the rules of the blog are clearly stated. There really are no rules people other than not mentioning names and with that, we are free to talk about ANYTHING and EVERYTHING and WHO EVER we want...WHEN EVER we want. I don't see how the fuck people don't grasp that. Seems pretty clear fucking cut to me. But no. Some dipshit called and demanded to know who we all are. Yea, ok dipshit, we'll get right on that. We aren't stupid...obviously. I am so sick of childish fucking people playing little immature games. People that aren't authors of this blog and that read it need to keep in mind that we all come here to vent about things that we can't just say in our every day lives. We need a place to come to where no one knows who anyone is and can talk about anything and everything and be done with it. If we talk about you, get the fuck over it. You are probably being talked about for a reason. If you do something stupid, don't think we won't call you out on it. Because we will. And we will all be amused by making fun of you.
Whoever is trying to start shit, I suggest you backing down. Don't try to figure out who any of us are. And whoever is reading this blog and then going and trying to start shit with other people, quit. We are not here to play stupid little petty games. Find something better to do with your time.

I don't see how the fuck people don't grasp that. Seems pretty clear fucking cut to me. But no. Some dipshit called and demanded to know who we all are. Yea, ok dipshit, we'll get right on that. We aren't stupid...obviously. I am so sick of childish fucking people playing little immature games. People that aren't authors of this blog and that read it need to keep in mind that we all come here to vent about things that we can't just say in our every day lives. We need a place to come to where no one knows who anyone is and can talk about anything and everything and be done with it. If we talk about you, get the fuck over it. You are probably being talked about for a reason. If you do something stupid, don't think we won't call you out on it. Because we will. And we will all be amused by making fun of you.
Whoever is trying to start shit, I suggest you backing down. Don't try to figure out who any of us are. And whoever is reading this blog and then going and trying to start shit with other people, quit. We are not here to play stupid little petty games. Find something better to do with your time.

...getting more frustrated by the minute
by Sassy
The day started off good. It was awesome seeing all the hot air balloons that were gorgeous and oh so close to my work. Not to mention, the morning was quiet, our student has been cracking my ass up AND Miss Thing was actually on time. But now as time is wearing on, Miss Thing is starting to irritate me more and more by the second it seems. She has been sticking her nose into everything that has NOTHING to do with her. Little things...stupid things. It is like she just isn't getting the attention that she needs and is seeking it or something. There was a computer/IT guy in here and asked for me to come learn how to do something and when we got in the hall he made some comment after a scene she made along the lines of, "Wow, rough day in the office huh?" Just goes to show I am not nuts here people. I just am tired of her not pulling her weight. It has been incredibly slow today and she still hasn't gotten shit done. Whatever. All my stuff is done and caught up and now I get to spend the rest of my day screwing off doing what I want.
Another thing that is getting to me today. I work with a bunch of guys and have known a lot of them for going on seven years. There are a few in particular that I am super close with. Well, this hasn't exactly been the best week for me and for some reason, Mr. Sweetness that I adore talking to and seeing on a daily basis was a total ass the other day. I don't know what the hell was up his ass or what went on, but all I know is that we aren't talking now. He knows that I am bothered with him and I told him why and he just is continuing to be a jerk. I don't know if he is doing it to get my goat or what. It is to the point that when he walks in the office, we just won't even speak to each other. And he makes rude little marks. I can't imagine him being serious about it, but all I know is that I am just in no mood to put up with that kind of bullshit from him or anyone right now because I am just a little cranky.

...the week being decent...so far
by Sassy
Things have been pretty quiet around work and really, that is how I have liked it. I haven't had to deal with Miss Thing since last Thursday and let me tell you all how much a treat it has been. I have been able to just do my own thing and not worry about her at all or having her make me crazy...which she seems to be super good at. I am just hoping that when she comes in today, she is just normal, calm, does her job, and doesn't irritate me. Lately I have had a few other things irritating me and she just seems to fuel the fire. That is why I haven't really been posting the last few days.
Anyhow, hope everyone has a good Thursday!

...Really Like My Job
by Sassy
I just have to say that with all that I trash my co-worker and all that goes on in my office, I really do love my job. I don't know why. The pay isn't that great, I am not using my brain or any of my college education. But I am good at what I do. I love that I am treated like I am princess and I like the feeling of being needed and utilized. With all the bullshit that goes on in the office, I still like my job. I just don't like that there are such stupid things that happen. It just puts a bit of a strain on me. I have to really try hard not to let it interfere with my work performance and my attitude around the office, but I do like my job.
But since I am talking about work, I have to say that Miss Thing decided to take a TWO AND A HALF HOUR lunch. That's right. We only get a half hour lunch every day. So that is two hours over. Not to mention, she didn't bother saying it was going to be a super long lunch or anything like that. Just said she was going to lunch and would be back. She didn't bother asking the boss or anything like that. Oh and I was informed that she was also ten minutes late to work. You just got to love the system and how much people get away with.

...Feeling More Chipper
by Sassy
I love when people get so upset over thing that people post or comment. You would honestly think that you took their dog out and beat them. No, I am not an animal beater, I am just saying. People get so freaking butthurt and take things so damn personal. Is it not ok to just say how you feel? I mean, there comes a point in time when not everyone can be nice every time they open their mouths or have something to say. If someone is deserving of being called a bitch or being called out on their stupidity, we all should have a right to say so and do so. Its not like we are saying names on this particular blog and even if we were, we can say whatever we want, however we want and all should be just fine and dandy!

...Hearing It All Now!
by Sassy
I swear I have heard it all now! I am seriously dying...could have pissed my pants from laughing so hard. I just went off on my boss because since I have been to work, Miss Thing hasn't done a fucking thing work related. She has done nothing but sit on her ass eating and talking to anyone and doing all she could to not work. My boss's response was fucking classic.
"She has been trying to fix her computer to run faster so she can work as fast as you do."
WHAT?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was rolling on the damn floor. No matter how quick her computer is or how slow mine is, she will NEVER do as much work as me or work near as fast as I do. It just will never happen. EVER! She doesn't sit in her chair long enough, or stay off the phone long enough, or keep her mouth shut long enough. The bottom line is, her work ethic sucks and is nothing like mine!
This is going to be a long fucking day.

...Little Things Annoying Me
by Sassy
I am so fucking sick of the little things that people do to get under peoples skin. I can't stand it. I hate stupid ass games that people play. Isn't it funny how it seems that there are certain people that always try to "one up" you??? I see it all the time and even have it happen to me from time to time. I guess I am just sick of seeing it and having it happen to me. I just wish that this stuff could go away.

...my week, SO FAR!
by Sassy
I just don't get it. The more work that pours through my office, the less people seem to do. It is rather funny. It's like they think to themselves, "Sassy needs to do more work even though she is already picking up a bunch of slack from else where." It just boggles my damn mind some times. I have seriously been so busy the last two days that I haven't had time to do anything. Lunch? Who has time for that anyway? I sure haven't. I find myself munching on something at my desk WHILE working still. Do you think that Miss Thing pipes up and offers to help out with things or gets up to take some responsibility??? Oh heavens no. In fact, she has begun to spend more time yet again on personal calls and doing personal shit. Oh well. But our student is now back in school and therefore we have her significantly less than we did during the summer. This means that most of her tasks don't get done by her. They now get done by me. She didn't even get through one whole task today. To me, this is understandable because as a student, you are not here much and you just don't have time for everything. But that doesn't mean that everything should fall on ONE person, when there are two abled bodies sharing the office and supposed to be sharing the duties. Uuuuugggggghhhhhhhhhh!
Let's see what else.... Oh this week would be Miss Things early week. Guess what? Out of two days so far this week, she was ten minutes late yesterday and didn't get here until 9:30am today. How the hell does that work? When you are the early person, you are supposed to be here. And if you aren't going to be here, wouldn't you, I don't know...SWITCH with your co-worker to make sure the office is covered?? I don't get it. I seriously don't get it. The only good thing that I have going for me at this point is my boss was informed of it and she talked to her boss. And my bosses boss is really not into the whole being late thing and sees that there is definitely a pattern of Miss Thing not being to work when she is supposed to on her early days. I wouldn't mind if her early days got completely revoked, but I doubt that will happen. But what a fun thought to entertain.
AND! Come to find out, it isn't just the student and I that are having a problem with her. Nope! Miss Fucking Nosy has issues with her as well. I guess Miss Thing and Miss Fucking Nosy share some job duties and Miss Fucking Nosy doesn't like some stuff where Miss Thing is concerned. So Miss Fucking Nosy, Miss Thing, and our boss all had to have a meeting yesterday. I don't know what was said in the meeting because Miss Thing left for the day after, but I do know that Miss Thing was very not happy about stuff that went on. I just find it amusing that other people have issues with her. Although, many people have problems with Miss Fucking Nosy...I know I sure do. She drives me fucking insane. But that is a whole other can of worms.
What I was trying to say when starting this post is that I have been so damn busy with other peoples work on top of my own, I haven't had time to do shit personally.

...feeling a little low
by Sassy
I don't know what it is, but lately I have felt just very distant from my couple SUPER close friends. It is like we are all just wrapped up in our own lives and seem to be growing apart. And for some reason, I have been really down about this. I feel like there is just something happening and I can't control it and don't know how to change it. I guess it doesn't help that there are much different interests these days. I am not about going out all the time and partying. Don't get me wrong, I love to go to a bar and have a couple drinks and hanging out. But they just seem to be in different places than me. I mean, when they have a BBQ, it is all about everyone just getting entirely shithoused and out of control. If you don't drink, then you are looked down on and told you aren't fun. Don't get me wrong, I love to drink and have fun, but I just seem to be calming down. Also, we all have boyfriends. Well, my friends boyfriends work together and do a lot of stuff outside of work together. They are super close and hang out all the time therefore allowing my friends to always be together. Well, my boyfriend doesn't like that group of guys really. I can understand too. If these guys weren't with my friends, I probably wouldn't chose to hang out with them either. But over the years, I have grown close to them, especially one of them.
So now I find myself if a tough little place. If there are BBQ's, I can go, but I know that I will be a little tense and I know that my guy won't be having any fun at all just because he doesn't mix well with those guys. My friends are dating guys that are super preppy type and on the "metro" side. Definitely like my boyfriend. I guess I just feel that now I am missing out on things. I know I am really not missing out on too much because it isn't that I don't hang out with them or see them or do things with them. There are just more times when I am already doing my own thing. I guess I just need to make more of an effort. I just miss them is all. And now that I am writing this I feel like I am being retarded.

...Things Since the "MEETING"
by Sassy
Dear Lord have I been busy since that damn meeting we had. I didn't realize it, but we were in the actual meeting for well over an hour almost pushing two I think. I don't know. I didn't pay attention to the time. Once back at my desk, it was piled high full of work and I was stressing getting it done before leaving for the day. Well, Miss Thing was rather upset about the meeting. The rest of the day was spent with her holding back tears and pouting, which really made me feel like a big piece of horse shit. This week we started a new thing where we were going to do entire weeks of either being the early person or the late person and this is my early week. Right as I am getting ready to walk out of the night on Wednesday, I was informed by my boss that I would be by myself for a majority of the day. Come to find out, Miss Thing had an appointment set up for Thursday afternoon and was planning on taking half the day off. I didn't really care except that it was just Wednesday that she was complaining about being in the office by herself for a half an hour and I would be by myself for half the day. Our boss was taking the whole day off, our student was taking the entire day off and that left me being the only person. So it was now up to me to either switch to being the late person or being a bitch and making her change/cancel her appointment or make her come back to work after it. Rather than being mean, I did the nice thing and went ahead and switched to the late day. This just means I get t redeem it when it works for me on her early week. This could come in handy some time.
Yesterday was just crazy all around. This is one of the busiest times of year at my work and there are always people coming in and needing something and the phones are constantly ringing off the hook. I didn't even have time to take a bathroom break all morning and that was with Miss Thing here with me. I wasn't really worried about being by myself in the afternoon, but thought it was funny after the incident the day before. When she was getting ready to leave she was certain to say how bad she felt for leaving me and that she would come back if I wanted her to and so on. I tell her to go and not to worry, I would be just fine. And I was. I rocked the shit out of my office. Nothing ever got behind. There was never a time I felt like I was going crazy. I was able to do all of our students work since she was gone, my work, and the work that Miss Thing and I share with no problem at all. Miss Thing did show up to "check" on me and talked for a few minutes and then took off.
Since the meeting it seems like she is trying to make an effort, but I have to wonder if it is more for show than actually being true. I really feel like she just wants to be liked by our student and it just fries her they don't have that relationship. I don't think she is happy with her job either or more her job duties, and that is why it is so easy for her to pass things off to me. I guess I just see her doing things that don't make sense. Like letting shit pile up before doing them and then it takes her forever to go through them and get them done rather than just doing them as they come in. I mean, she still has work that she was given at 8:00am! If I were the guys waiting for the work, I would be pissed. I just have never been one to let something sit on my desk knowing that it needs to get done and passed on to someone else.
She opened up to me about more of her personal life and what is going on and how she is feeling. I knew she was going through a lot but I didn't realize how she was feeling on the whole thing. And I guess after the meeting that we had, all she wanted to do (from what she says) is have it all go away. She was talking all crazy like about how she wanted to go home and just take every pill that she had in her house and end it all. I was so shocked to hear that. I have known someone that took their life and I have always seen it as an easy way out. I understand that things can be overwhelming at times, but working through them makes you a stronger person. We talked for a good long while about her situation and I just don't understand. She says how she is strapped for money and behind in her payments, yet she is always eating out, stopping at Walmart for new stuff, buying new movies, etc. Not to mention, she just let her boyfriend move in and she is supporting his ass! This guy doesn't even help her pay the bills. Yet, he can pay to have his windows tinted on his truck and hers. And also spending money up the ass on new jewelry. Um hello!!!! If you are behind with a house payment, I think you would put money toward that before worrying about your fucking windows. Just stupid shit like that that would help out...even just a little.
After I talk, I just sat here and felt bad for a minute. I felt bad for getting so pissed off at her at work and about doing her job (or lack there of). But then I realized, with all that is going on, you would think that she would come here and bust her ass, do her work, and feel a sense of accomplishment. Something more uplifting than what she deals with on a daily basis. Anything to help out. I guess I just see things so different and need to resign to the fact that we are very different people and try not to let her antics bother me.
Although, now that I am ready to post this, something just happened to annoy me. She has been gone since before noon to go get a new contact and used this as her lunch. She got back and was eating at her desk when the phone starts ringing and someone walks into the office. At this point, a lady that brings her homemade jewelry comes in and she gets up and leaves the office with her and leaves me to tend to the phone and the customer at the counter. It is that kind of shit that pisses me off. So now, her lunch has lasted well over an hour!

Since the meeting it seems like she is trying to make an effort, but I have to wonder if it is more for show than actually being true. I really feel like she just wants to be liked by our student and it just fries her they don't have that relationship. I don't think she is happy with her job either or more her job duties, and that is why it is so easy for her to pass things off to me. I guess I just see her doing things that don't make sense. Like letting shit pile up before doing them and then it takes her forever to go through them and get them done rather than just doing them as they come in. I mean, she still has work that she was given at 8:00am! If I were the guys waiting for the work, I would be pissed. I just have never been one to let something sit on my desk knowing that it needs to get done and passed on to someone else.
She opened up to me about more of her personal life and what is going on and how she is feeling. I knew she was going through a lot but I didn't realize how she was feeling on the whole thing. And I guess after the meeting that we had, all she wanted to do (from what she says) is have it all go away. She was talking all crazy like about how she wanted to go home and just take every pill that she had in her house and end it all. I was so shocked to hear that. I have known someone that took their life and I have always seen it as an easy way out. I understand that things can be overwhelming at times, but working through them makes you a stronger person. We talked for a good long while about her situation and I just don't understand. She says how she is strapped for money and behind in her payments, yet she is always eating out, stopping at Walmart for new stuff, buying new movies, etc. Not to mention, she just let her boyfriend move in and she is supporting his ass! This guy doesn't even help her pay the bills. Yet, he can pay to have his windows tinted on his truck and hers. And also spending money up the ass on new jewelry. Um hello!!!! If you are behind with a house payment, I think you would put money toward that before worrying about your fucking windows. Just stupid shit like that that would help out...even just a little.
After I talk, I just sat here and felt bad for a minute. I felt bad for getting so pissed off at her at work and about doing her job (or lack there of). But then I realized, with all that is going on, you would think that she would come here and bust her ass, do her work, and feel a sense of accomplishment. Something more uplifting than what she deals with on a daily basis. Anything to help out. I guess I just see things so different and need to resign to the fact that we are very different people and try not to let her antics bother me.
Although, now that I am ready to post this, something just happened to annoy me. She has been gone since before noon to go get a new contact and used this as her lunch. She got back and was eating at her desk when the phone starts ringing and someone walks into the office. At this point, a lady that brings her homemade jewelry comes in and she gets up and leaves the office with her and leaves me to tend to the phone and the customer at the counter. It is that kind of shit that pisses me off. So now, her lunch has lasted well over an hour!

...Fucking Traffic!
by Sassy
I hate it. I hate when you can leave your house at the same exact time as you had left the day before and the day before that and then be a couple minutes late for work. I don't get it. Stupid fucking people need to pull their heads out of their ass and learn how to fucking drive. It took me three times this morning to get through one light.
Oh well, I still managed to be at my desk only three minutes late. Good thing I am a speed racer!

...the "meeting"
by Sassy
I feel...I have no idea. I was so nervous going into this damn meeting and then I was excited thinking that everything was going to be taken care of and aired. But I walked out of there not feeling all that great. Maybe it is because I am a nice person and I hate when other people's feelings are hurt and knowing that I am partially to blame for it. I don't know. I mean, I feel good because I said what I needed to, but I feel bad because Miss Thing is all upset.
We went in there and the entire thing seemed to just stem from today's incident. I finally broke in and let Miss Thing know that today was just the icing on the cake and that there are numerous things that have been going on that haven't been brought up and made today really piss me off. (Our boss told her I flat ass said no that one of us wouldn't come back over to the office.) Anyhow, I let her know that I feel that she is just jealous that the student and I are friends and get along since they don't and that was the reason she made a big deal out of today. And then I continued to bring up the work issue and how I feel like she pushes stuff on me and so on. It was like she wasn't getting it. She kept telling our boss that she does her share of the work.
At this point is when I realized she started being very defensive and started getting emotional. She says that she feels like she gets the cold shoulder and is treated disrespectfully and so on. I let her know that I don't give her the cold shoulder. Believe it or not, I actually like this girl like I said in my first post about her. I just have a hard time with her work ethic. She sat there and said that I get all quiet and withdrawn and so on. Yes, I am going to be quiet when things are bothering me. I just can't be my chipper little self when I am trying to hold off from screaming nasty things. Call me crazy.... Anyhow, she tried turning it all on our student and how she is rude to her and she has no reason and blah, blah, blah. Well their issues go back over a year and it has nothing to do with me. Me being friends with the both of them just kind of puts me in the middle.
The student and her proceed to get into it and I couldn't keep my mouth shut. I used to be in a student like position before and in that kind of a position you get the shit work and people treat you like you are worthless and so below them. I felt myself instinctively defending our student and let Miss Thing know that she doesn't always treat her well and is back and forth with her and its not right. We came to the conclusion that they will never have a relationship other than at work. They won't be speaking to each other unless it has to do with work. Oh and I have to give our student credit because she brought up the hour and a half lunch and taking a company car for it and her coming to work on time and leaving work was brought up by our boss. Oh and I also brought up the secrets needed to stop because it is unfair and leaves everyone around feeling like they are being talked about. No one wants to work in a place like that.
I think that a lot was put on the table, but I just don't know what was really resolved. I mean, I feel good because I told her things that bothered me, but then I held some stuff back because she was getting so sad and upset that I felt like a bad person for continuing. It is just so crazy. So the conclusion in this: The student made herself clear on not liking Miss Thing and never being able to like her in the future, I said what made me mad, and NO ONE got in trouble.

...things finally coming to a blow
by Sassy
For the past week, I have been very quiet in the office. Quiet because I don't really trust what could possibly come out of my mouth at any given second considering all the bullshit that is going on in the office and how annoyed I am about things. So I haven't been all bubbly like normal and talking about me and my life and all that is going on. I sit here at my desk, doing my work, blogging, and doing whatever else keeps me happy. Yesterday when my boss asked me the question that Miss Thing so rudely answered for me, I let her know that I would take care of said issue today. Said issue was about filing fiscal year stuff...something Miss Thing maybe has done once and that is questionable considering her work ethic. Anyhow, I got to work this morning, busted my ass to get all my shit done so the student and I could run next door, throw the old files in the recycle bin and then reorganize the rest of the stuff. This really is a simple task that shouldn't take long, but really does require two people because the boxes are heavy and doing it with one person would take forever.
Once all my shit was caught up, I grabbed our student and we headed next door with the huge ass recycle bin and got to work. I was taking the old files out to recycle and the student was transferring the files. Makes sense that when I empty a box she could start filling one. Well right about the time I get through emptying all the boxes into the recycle bin and the student and I are both working on transferring files (making it go sssssoooooooo much faster), out comes our supervisor. I honestly wasn't expecting in the slightest what was about to come out of her mouth. I seriously thought she was just coming over to see how our progress was going. Boy was I ever wrong. She say, "I really need to breath right now because I don't know what I am going to say and I don't think it is going to be nice." I start laughing and ask her what is going on.
Boss: "Miss Thing would like for one of you to come back into the office and help her. She has work piling up and the phone won't stop ringing. And she says it doesn't take two people to dump trash."
Sassy: "Are you fucking kidding me!??!?!?" (no joke, I really said just that with the fuck and all). "The phone hasn't rang all fucking morning. Not to mention, I have been the only one with the exception of ONE TIME that has been dumping the recycling while student has been transferring files. I will do the work when I get back over there."
At this point in time I explain to boss how two people are better than one and flat ass say that no, neither one of us will be over in the office until we are done. We demonstrate why two people are better than one and boss completely agrees. This makes me happy. But then I hear, "I think it is finally time for us to have a staff meeting."
This is something that we had talked about before, but I just wasn't expecting it right at that moment. The student and I both looked at each other and agreed that it really was time. We were told by our boss that this was our time and that we needed to be very open and honest about what is going on in the office and not hold back. That everything that is bothering us about Miss Thing needs to be said so we can deal with it and handle it once and for all.
The Boss came back over to the office and I really wish that I could have been a fly on the wall when she told Miss Thing that there was going to be a staff meeting. Mean while, the student and I continued about our business, getting the rest done in like fifteen minutes and then booked back over to the office so Miss Thing could stop stressing out (both laughing about the immaturity of course). As soon as we walk in our boss stops us and lets us know that the staff meeting is this afternoon. My stomach got a little twisted when I heard that. That is so soon. That is in like an hour or two. That is just so crazy. I am just nervous. Nervous because I am so bothered about so many things that I don't want to get in trouble with anything I say or how I say it. So this could be quite interesting.
Oh yeah! And since we have been back in the office, Miss Thing will not look at or speak to me or the student. She is in her area sulking and pouting. She won't even talk to our fellow co-workers that venture through our office.
Let the drama begin....

...minding your own business
by Sassy
Are you fucking kidding me???? That is really what I want to scream from the top of my lungs right now. A few deep breaths and a trip down the hall didn't even help this one.
I am sitting at my desk blogging...because that is what I like to do when all my work is caught up. That's right, all my shit is caught up because I actually come to work on time and do my fucking job. Therefore, my work isn't piled up all over my fucking desk and I am not complaining about being so behind. I digress. So as I am sitting here at my desk doing my own personal shit, my boss comes up and asks me a question to which I eagerly reply. The conversation between my boss and I go on and I take the initiative to involve the student because really, the work that we were talking about included her. The three of us are discussing something and all of a sudden, guess who decides to put her two fucking sense in???!!?! Yep, you got it right, Miss Thing herself. I thought I was going to get up, turn around and smack her in her fucking face. She sat there and answered the question that I just had been asked. I didn't even argue it. I looked at my boss, shrugged my shoulders, and went back to what I was doing. I am not going to sit here and argue over something to stupid as how to file something. And if I recall right, she is saying she knows how to do something better than me and the right way and I have been here and done it for years and she has been here not even 2. Whatever though. She must have "sensed" that I was annoyed because she says, "Sorry, didn't mean to step on anyone's toes."
Huh really? What the hell did you think that you were doing then??? Maybe if you didn't want that to happen you should have minded your own business. The question wasn't directed at you. You weren't even included in the conversation what-so-ever, not to mention, the subject at hand didn't have anything to do with you at all or involve you. Keep your fucking mouth shut when it doesn't concern you. I don't poke my nose in your business and over step when I shouldn't, so don't do it to me.
Oh yea, and also, don't pull something like that and then try to kiss my ass after. Stop asking me questions, stop talking to me, just please stop!
