Dealing with people
I have found that when dealing with one of my co-workers that I have my good days and my bad days. Sometimes it is good weeks and bad weeks. This week it has been days. Monday and Tuesday I was doing ok, I could put up with her just fine. Today though I am not in the mood. Currently I am tired, and have a headache and have things I need to do and things I want to do.
Now don't get me wrong, this lady is a nice person, she really is. She is always friendly, very helpful and likes to make little funny comments throughout the day. A very sweet person overall.
However, there are things about her that just get on my nerves. Mostly it is her obsession with gossip. Though I don't in general like to gossip I do enjoy it every so often. However, with her it is a 24/7 thing. Today she had to come back and tell me about how one of the girls that our mail guy likes went to lunch with him. The guy is a player, I really don't care what girls he has the hots for on any given day. But she follows his little love life like he was a celebrity or something. Also because she is a gossip she is also nosy. She likes to walk back and look at my computer as I am working to see what I am working on. Most of it she doesn't get because she is (to be blunt) stupid. But that is beside the point, I don't like her coming back to see what I am doing. I don't like having her say Hi every few minutes. And the fact that she has insanely bad breath doesn't help matters at all. However her breath seems to be some taboo subject, so even though it makes me want to throw up sometimes I don't feel that I can bring it up to her.
Today is a bad day for me. I am feeling tired and my head is in pain and I just have no patience for her. Her jokes are not funny, her hellos are driving me crazy, and though I want to tell her to just leave me alone I don't want to offend her just because I am pissy today. Bleh, what to do when you want an extrovert to just leave you alone. Too bad my cube doesn't have a door that locks. Oh how nice that would be. Anyway, there is my rant. Please ignore it as it comes from my hurting tired brain.
