SHUT. UP.

[bzarcher]

Y'know, I realize that you still really don't know as much about your job as the person you replaced, and we're trying to cut you a lot of slack for it.

However, the fact that you have spent the last hour non-stop talking on the phone to one of your girlfriends in the other building about office gossip or to your ex-husband is not the way to learn. Especially since you seem to think the way to be heard is to raise your voice whenever talking into the phone, taking you from being a harpy to being a shrieking harpy.

You're a single mom. That's very hard. We appreciate that. But that doesn't mean that you need to be on the phone for two or three hours a day talking to your ex, your parents, or your best friends about how hard it is to raise your son alone, and how you don't think his teachers will push him enough, and how you need to get away from work because of all the stress.

Didn't you just take a week off of work to go to Atlantic City to get away from the stress? Yet you were complaining about it again within half an hour of being back yesterday.

This might be a sign you need to quit.

Seriously. Quit.

You keep telling us at every turn that you're not a tech person, despite the fact that you badgered your old boss until he got you a transfer in here because you wanted the job security. You kicked out a very good person to get this job, and now you don't like it and don't want it. TOUGH. You made the bed, you pissed a whole lot of people off to get there, and it's time you faced the music.

Perhaps also you'd have a better grip on the job if you didn't see the office as your personal gossip shop and took phone and smoke breaks on an extremely regular schedule. Oh, and if you stopped bitching constantly and tried to learn something when you ask us to explain the same things to you every day.

In conclusion: Keep your damn voice down, take some responsibility, quit using the office lines to have your personal life and deep chats about the state of things, and shut the hell up before I kill you with my bare hands.

Those are the bestest people to have at your work. I hope she starts settling down and stuff.... though people like that tend to get worse instead of better. Good luck dealing with her.



And remember, blood spatters come out better if you soak them in a bath of cold water and tide first!

The nice thing about having some practice is that you know how to keep the blood off your clothes. And I usually give my shoes an extra coat of polish afterwards to take care of the rest.

I'm trying to be paitent with this woman. I think I'm one of the only people in the office who's giving her a reasonable shake (the contractor who she essentially got fired to create this opening was very well-liked around here, and there was some resentment), but it's getting very hard to give her the benefit of the doubt.
