Today started out like most days. I woke up, got ready for work, got some coffee (yes I am drinking coffee again) and went to work. The first hour was ok and then I was asked a question from someone I am training. I answered her and told her what she needed to do. Well Ericka, yes that is her real name because she will never read this so I don't have to worry about it. Anyhow she went and asked someone about what I had just told Ann. I guess Ericka didn't think I knew what I was talking about, AGAIN! Every time I tell Ann something she questions it and then tells Ann something else. Last week Ericka told Ann something and it was totally wrong and then I get blamed for not showing her the right way to do something. Thank goodness Ann spoke up and said it wasn't me that told her to do what it was she did wrong.
I have been working for an office job for about a year now and I am one of two people that know more about my department then anyone else. When others have questions or problems with something they come to either me or another gal. At work we have what is called a menu, basically its what we can do on the computer. I have more on my menu then most of the people in my department including Ericka. Ericka has questioned my boss several times why I have more on my menu then what she does, that it isn't fair and she should have just as much. My boss has told her several times that she isn't going to have the same things as my menu because she doesn't need them which is true.
I have had a feeling for a long time now that she is trying to get my job that I have. I don't know why she thinks she can do that. She has worked in my department for maybe 6 months and for the company for maybe 5 years. I have been in the department for over a year and with the company for almost 15 years now. I honestly want to bitch slap her and tell her to back off. The only thing that she has going for her that I don't have is that her mom is friends with my manager.
She is the laziest person I know. She wont do anything above and beyond what she needs to do. She wont just do something that needs done without being asked to do it and then she always bitches about it. She is the biggest pain in the ass I know. I felt sorry for her because she has been having stomach issues which turned out to be an ulcer and bad acid reflux. But now I wish I wasn't so caring.
I swear if and when the office job comes open and she gets it and not me I think I will come unglued. I try to keep my temper every day when it comes to her but there are days like today she really bothers me. I know everyone has to deal with at least one stupid person at work and everyone has off days, I just wish I didn't have to deal with it.
So there is my rant, not much of one but it is what it is. I have calmed down a lot since I got home. It does a girl good to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. :-)
