THE LITERAL DUMB ASS
Another colleague is an argumentative flakey twit with no common sense. She doesn't know how to read between the lines. When the boss says something like turn off every printer and every terminal before you leave, she takes him seriously. What the fuck!? Every day someone works late (usually me) and we late folks usually have to use one or both of the printers. For instance I'll be running stats and I'll sit there for 5 minutes filling in information which I then need to print out, and when I open the door to the copy room to get my print out, the printer isn't on. I then have to go back to my desk and start over again and then walk back to the printer to get my print out. This is frustrating and she's a stupid bitch. We all know that when the last person leaves, is when we have to turn off everything. With her, everything once said to all of us by the boss, she takes as a personal request in which she is solely is responsible for. She's little Miss....."Well the boss said this and the boss said that" NO COMMON SENSE! She has to be so fucking literal. If the boss tells her to do something that isn't her job, she stresses out and cries and says, "I'm not sure I can do this right. "I'm like, "Pat! Give it to Linda, it's her job". "Oh, no, I have to do it. He said type out a disability letter and mail it to Mrs Krause". So I have to do it." Me->"He just means, it needs to get done. Haven't you ever heard of the word DELEGATE! He just wants it done by WHO EVER does it, you happened to be standing there when he realized it needed to get done and so he asked you." Her-> "Well, I don't know". ME->(Very aggrivated from all her whining and wanting to smack her)"Hey Dr White, if Mrs Krause calls you up bugging you about the disability letter, tell her to ask for Linda. We're giving it to her to type since she has the template for disability letters on her computer." Dr White->"Oh. O.K." Problem solved. Why so some people act like such intimidated, illogical, little children? Where do women get such traits? Did their dads beat them into these sort of weird, dutiful, flakey, nervous nerdy twats? Cause I gotta tell you, one of these days I'm gonna fucking snap. I already feel like smacking her upside her head. Sometimes I feel like a second grade teacher. I correct phone messages because they're such lazy asses and don't look up words in the dictionary. For instance, Mr Tran wants to know if he can go snorkalling on his vacation three weeks after surgery. Oh my God it's mind blowing cause there's at least one a day like this. I know because I see the carbon copies of the messages in the message book. My favorite is the sympathy card we all signed when someone lost their dad. Three of them wrote in the card, I'm sorry for your lose (and then signed their name) It scares me that people have no shame. They don't care if the bosses think they're a dumb ass. I look up a word even if it's spelled right, just because it looks weird. You know how sometimes you haven't written a word in so long it looks weird. I don't hate these people, but they just annoy me because they're too old to be acting like obstinate teenagers.
