I know what she’s doing, and I’m not falling for it
There is a girl that I work with who always fishes for compliments. I’ve known this about her for quite some time. Thus when she got engaged a while back (which is a whole other rant) I completely ignored the fact that she was wearing a ring. She came into work late yelling about how happy she was and telling everyone the story. When she finally got to her desk, which is where I was having to sit in place of her, I got up and left the room instantly. I went in and out of her office quite a few times that day. Finally when I entered the room near the end of the day she sticks her hand in the air and goes “AHEM.” Finally I took her hand and said “ooo.” Then I left the room. All she wanted was for me to go on and on about how lucky she was and etc. I’m just the right amount of a bitch that I wouldn’t dare give her that satisfaction, and I don’t do it in regards to anything else for her.
I also have to sit at her desk when she is gone to lunch everday. I make sure to get back from lunch and to her desk RIGHT AT 12:30. Her lunch ends at 1. She always comes back into the office and sets her stuff down around 12:58 and then unnecessarily announces that she’ll be right back- I sayunnecessarily because she has done this everyday that I have had to sit for her. Then of course what ever she does makes her be late and not back to her desk until 1:06-1:10. It wouldn’t be a big deal if it was an every once and a while thing, but this is EVERYDAY. Today she went to get a coke before she came back. She came back all flustered and dramatically told me the story of how the machine was out of what she wanted and then it wouldn’t give her the money back. When she finished talking, I turned to her and said “Okay, so does that mean you’re done then?” What she wanted was for me to get sucked into her story and to listen to her BS. Once again I’m just the right amount of bitch that I won’t give her the satisfaction.
On a funny side note, she isn’t the nicest person in the world. Most people that we work with would easily label her as a bitch, and she has often had our boss talk to her about the complaints that other co-workers have about her attitude. She is being forced to go to a training seminar in April. She left the booklet out on her desk, because I assume she is proud that she is special enough to get to go to a training seminar and no one else does so she is rubbing it in. I looked at the classes she is taking and couldn’t help but laugh. They were “How to get a long with all of your co-workers, even the ones you don’t care for?” “How to form a better relationship with your boss” “How to push your emotions aside at work and not let them control you” etc. etc. etc. Basically “Don’t be a bitch at work anymore” classes.
Anyways.. I don’t know what the point of this post is, other than to just slam my co-worker that I don’t particularly care for.
