OK, since I've got no place else to go with this – coworkers suck! I'm an IT officer by nomenclature, but I feel more like a baby sitter, or better yet, I feel like I'm in charge of a day-care where all the kids have matches. I spend all day putting out fires. One of the bitches I serve, used to be a knockout, and undoubtedly earned per position as VP by manipulating men with her charms rather than actually being competent at the job at hand. But now she's old, not-so-hot, remarkably self confident, and yet no smarter than she was at age 13. I'm guessing 13 because that's how she acts. A master of passive aggression, though her technique is somewhat fundamental, she never directly challenges her situations, but instead chooses to spread dissension among the ranks to achieve whatever advantage, sympathy, or God knows what she wants.
She's got printer problems today, and it's a major ordeal. EVERYONE must know about her printer problem … EVERYONE! More importantly everyone must know that it is not her fault, but guess who? The IT officer of course! HEY EVERYONE, IT'S MY FAULT HER PRINTER ISN'T WORKING! I'm the incompetent one, yes, never mind the fact that she's been sitting behind a computer for close to 20 years and still can't make a desktop shortcut, doesn't know the difference between a .PDF and a .DOC file, and forget .DOCX!
What is with people who are stupid, yet supremely self confident? Who put them in charge of the rest of us?
Why am I here telling you all this – a bunch of strangers? Because my wife doesn't seem to want to hear about anything remotely negative lately. I was recently diagnosed with cancer and I guess she only wants good news for now … it's a good thing, yes a real good thing … or she'll wish me into the cornfield.
