The Joys of Being Adult

Have you ever worked with someone who seemed to be stuck in kindergarten? I'm sure you have. I think everyone has. The kind of person I'm talking about does things such as making life miserable for everyone they work with, because they're self-absorbed twerps.

There's someone in my office, who is one of the liasons with our Sales Department, who acts like this. We all laugh when we have to call her voicemail, because she sounds so pleasant! This individual had been taking long lunches. And she'd still bring her lunch back to eat at her desk! Management finally told her she needed to start punching out at lunch, and punching back in when she returned. This apparently cramped her style so much, she's been having a continuous tantrum since.

She won't do her job, and gets her nose all out of joint if you suggest she should. None of us in my department will answer the phone when she calls. We've spoken to her supervisor, our supervisor, and come to the conclusion we hope she goes away soon.

It's unfortunate that adults feel the need to act like spoiled brats. I know, it happens all the time. But it makes an already frustrating job worse!

On the plus side, I have a job interview for next Wednesday, with a marketing firm. And they have training positions available! So I've got my fingers crossed!

I'll let you know more as I know more.
