Why I need a vacation

[taerowyn]

Coworker standing right by the creamers - "I think it's time the coffee creamers that expired Feb 2 were thrown out." Looks at me, walks upstairs.

Coworker standing right by the box of paper, which is where it has been since I started working here - "Where can I get a ream of paper."

Coworker trying to mail some bills at the beginning of every single month- "Can you give me an envelope?" And every single time I show him where the envelopes are...suprise, in the supply closet.

I do not understand this inability to do anything for themselves. It's really not that hard. Maybe it's too far "beneath" them. Whatever it is, I hope they enjoy a week of self-reliance cause I'm not going to give them ANY way to contact me while I'm gone *insert evil cackle*

helpless co-workers

[eeyorekdm.livejournal.com]

I know what you mean about your co-workers. I have a big number of people whom I work with who are very good, get stuff done, and just ask for help at the appropriate times (ie. cat hanging from their hand, or the like). Then there are some, who are great people, but horrible co-workers. Some just don't do anything, others only jump in on the intersting stuff, leaving all the little stuff for me to finish, or think they are helping, when really they are just getting in the way. Jenn (another tech and good friend) is leaving in about a week, the same time that you're coming out here. We're both intersted to see what happens while we're gone.
