taerowynHmmm, I have, yet again, met a person whom I can not please no matter what. Had this issue with a college "friend" who, from my point of view, one day decided I could do no right and from that day on went out of her way to find things to get pissed about. Well, joy of joys, it turns out one of my coworkers has the same personality!!
Today, I asked one of the girls up stairs (there are two, one is nice, one is the person who I cannot please, I asked the nice one) if she wouldn't mind covering the phones tomorrow morning so I could watch a family friend run with the Olympic Torch. She said sure. A little later she emailed to ask when I would be in. I said I'd take a half day and work 12 to 4 (my normal hours are 7-4). She replied saying that both she and the other girl (hates me) were leaving at 2 so somebody needed to cover the phones 4-5. I said sure, I'll work from 1 to 5 instead. About an hour later the girl who dislikes me so comes stomping down the steps and says "We'd appreciate it if you gave us more than one days warning when you're going to be gone!" and then stamps upstairs.
OK, wait a minute, yes, I admit I should have talked to them sooner, but I forgot, but did they give me any warning that I would have to cover 4-5? NO! Had I not emailed them about my schedule change I might never have found out. Screw her!
Really, I'm not being as petty as this seems, I swear. There is a lot of history here, but this was just the final straw. Part of it, I'm sure, is that I am not losing my job while she is though she's been here longer. So on the one hand I'm sympathetic... and on the other I can't WAIT for her last day!
