So it's "Fastnacht" which makes people drink more than they should dress up in strange costumes for the better part of a week and listen to bad music. So the Lab Sisters of Doom decided to make waffles. I asked what I should bring and was told cherries would be good. So I bought them but at the same time our bachelor student had been told the same thing so we ended up with too many cherries. Coincidence? Call me paranoid but I think not because which glass of cherries wasn't used? Right mine.
The usual suspect were present: The three Lab sisters of Doom, the unfriendly TA from upstairs, the janitor and a guest from the human resources office whom I hadn't met before, the bachelor and me. Later on our Lab mommy with her one year old daughter came to eat some waffles as well. It started out nice enough apart for my instant dislike for the human resources guy. We talked about carnival and who was into it and who wasn't. R. told us his story about the girl having written fuck me on their foreheads literally and how that wasn't his thing. From there on it moved to the other famous topic the others. Especially as soon as unfriendly TA entered the room. They were bickering about how when people have a different opinion than theirs, even more so if they don't have a permanent employment but are "only" working on their PhD they, they are nagging and not stating an opinion. How people who work here and are not that popular should not be allowed to speak their minds for separate lunch rooms. Then came this beautiful part where one of the despotic Lab sisters of Doom uttered:"I don't dislike many poeple." and then looked at me. I had such a hard time to keep from laughing. Because this person bitches about anything and everything as soon as they are not around ergo her statement is so untrue and that she doesn't like me? [irony]I am so shaken that I need to sob[/irony].She should have said that she does not like a lot of people. I know that what I do here is no short of bickering about them behind their backs but it just has to go somewhere or I will verbally take their heads off before I leave.
I was so glad when the mommy arrived because then these bickering women at least had a positive focus on the cute little child.(And at last a positive topic)
It's horrible if you're wishing you could just go away again without being outright rude. But no I have the clean-up shift this week and had to stay until they were finished. I had a mean inside laugh while cleaning up. Everyone helped so it was OK but the sinister one from the three was feeling unwell but she couldn't let me do the cleaning so when I left the cloth on the counter to continue sweeping the surface as soon as I had disposed of some trash that was in my way she just continued my work and not even thoroughly. Probably just to show that she's better than me. Whatever I had to sweep everything again. *shakeshead*
These people are so not my kind of people. If I have a break I want to talk about something fun, like movies, what goes on in the world, music, free time, friend, sometimes even talking about work is fine or whatever but not negatively hark on other peoples supposed shortcomings. My jaw hurts from clenching my teeth all the time.
Ah well it's only two month more and then I don't have to deal with any of them again.
