do you ever feel this way about people you work with? you constantly are trying to figure out what they do the solid 8 6 1/2 hours that they are in work? (they stroll in an hour late and leave 1 1/2 hours early-- you know they have a "doctor's appointment")
yes. this is me. on a daily basis....trying to wonder how certain individuals have made it this far in their lives (work and personally related).
i mean. you ask a question, like "is the sky blue" and you get an answer "well the grass is green".

i am trying to be nice. i am. but i just am finding it's very difficult for me these days.
here are some ecards to prove why:
here are some ecards to prove why:
i'm glad to hear that you've scheduled your mammogram, have the plumber coming to check that pesky toilet, and that the dermatologist is going to look at that strange mole on the back of your leg that looks like the shape of kentucky...really i'm so happy you are on top of these things! must you speak as if you are in a wind tunnel and the person on the other end can't hear you?
"okayyyy!!! thank you!!! buh bye! thank you!!! bye byeeeee"
yes. i have one of those who talks like that when ending a conversation on the telephone..
more like "you hang up first, no you hang up first, okay i'll hang up first, no let me!"
...except when your people all of a sudden show up out of nowhere and need 1,546,235 things done!
where were they when you were shopping for yarn online last week?
you know that one coworker, who you ask a simple question to like, "how did you figure out how to do this" and you get an explanation on how she did everything BUT what you were asking for?
ok ok, so these aren't related to annoying coworkers, but it is realated to my post the other day asking you all if you realized cold it was outside?....too bad its only 40 degrees today. but you can bet that's what i look like in my office today.
this one can go two ways.
1. that annoying biotch who ignores everyone and everything. does her job. 9-5 and never socializes.
2. sarcastically, "oh my gawddd, i'm SO busy".... really? why is it that I see you browsing JCPenney's online and Florida hotels' websites for your entire workshift?
well then. that sums up that.
Hahaha love this!!
ReplyDeleteProbably one of my favorite posts, ever! And I definitely agree with everything you posted - wish I had the cajones to post something like this!
ReplyDeleteMy boss is out sick today - I think the first time in the three years I've been working here. My reaction? BEST DAY EVER! (that's probably not nice, but I feel like I can be more productive when she's not here..)
Love your rant! Thanks for posting :)

Haha I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO busy I say as I am reading TFLN. Let's be real, I just am not being productive anymore today.
ReplyDeletelol i was that bitch who did my job 9-5 and didn't talk to anyone! haha but that was because i hated everyone i worked with...but i did take a few minutes to say hi to ppl and see how they were doing real quick...and also because I really was too busy to talk to ppl haha great post!
ReplyDeleteThat last one is usually me lol.
ReplyDeleteLove this!
I worked with a little that would NOT shut up the entire time about what is going on in her life, her husbands, her kids, her dogs.. it was just insane. I wish she would just shut up. When she wasn't there it was like heaven. Haha. You must really hate where you work. lol
ReplyDeleteI am not going to lie, that last one is me some days! It is usually brought on though by someone annoying me! We also have a Negative Nancy in the office who is a grumpy biotch 99% of the time. It is pretty hard to be happy when you have some complaining and cussing and carrying on in your ear 8 hours a day!
ReplyDeleteOmg - I feel the exact same way , but too scared to post on my blog for fear that someone might read it! A girl at my office never does her job and coughs every day all day, it's not a cold just some random cough and it's so freaking annoying! I don't understand how she skates by barely doing her job and I have to bust my butt to get my job done every day! Life is sooo unfair!!!!
ReplyDeleteSeriously love everything about this post... I am glad that I am blessed with some pretty great coworkers! (The one and only time I ever have!)
ReplyDeleteSNAP! we were complaining (via email) to each other yesterday about a coworker who never shuts up and when she opens her mouth she is so loud she drowns out all other noises.
ReplyDeletePlus there used to be this girl at work who never ever stopped sniffing!
Haha! I have some pretty annoying co-workers too and let's just say I'm very glad it's Friday!

Yes! I agree with ALL of these points (and e-cards)!! I think my favorite is the "give up talking to me" one. Seriously. I sit up front, near the elevator and printers, on the way to the bathroom and breakroom. And everyone wants to stop and tell me their life story. I try to be polite and listen for a few minutes, but 1) I don't care and 2) sometimes I'm actually doing work! It's so annoying!!
