Push the button

I'm an incredibly non-confrontational sort of person. If someone pisses me off, I'd rather mutter under my breath than give them a serve.

But today....

I cannot STAND this temp currently working in my section. I CANNOT STAND HER. NONE OF THE CLERKS LIKE HER. Because I try to generally get along with everyone, I tried to be nice to her. Tried to get to know her. Sympathised about how she got dumped by her boyfriend last week and had to move out of his house. Politely listened to her "me-me-me" stories about her travels. Acquiesced to her stupid anal innovations (e.g. ticking off a checklist when delivering milk.)

But honestly, she is a knob.

The story goes that I was about to head off to deliver some letters, when suddenly, people started giving me huge parcels to deliver as well. Well I was about to sort something out with one of the other clerks, when she intervened with a stupid solution that wouldn't be efficient at all. (The fact that she even intervened in such a mundane simple task is JUST LIKE HER. For example, the other day, a clerk was stacking one of the fridges with champagne, and she stood over the clerk's shoulder watching, just to see if she was "doing it right". Gah.) I questioned her solution. She insisted. Usually the scene would have ended there, but I had had enough of her idiocy, so....

I insisted.
She argued.
I argued.
The manager intervened, and said "Well if it's such a problem, then don't take that one today, it's not urgent." The knob then proceeded to agree with the manager in a "That's what I was saying all along!!" way, even though it was the total opposite of what she was saying.

I had to get out of there before I started yelling at her, so I just hurried away with my designated parcels.

I can't imagine what it would be like working with such an idiot on a regular basis. Thank God she's finishing on Thursday (which happens to be my last day as well!).

Gah. I have to share my farewell cake with her. Hmph.

(I have PMS. Can you tell??)
