nasty cow-irker rant, feel free to ignore |
|
I may have to resort to ugliness. My cell mate is on vacation. Her temp replacement is a vapid, annoying woman. This is the exchange we just had, after receiving a global email from the library -- a frantic plea for the return of certain reference volumes:
She: The library is always emailing about things they are missing!
I: Yes, that's because people take things without checking them out.
She: But they should have some system where people check things out.
I: (:eyes:) Um, they do, but people take things without checking them out.
She: Oohhhhhh.... (as if the concept had never occurred to her)
Someone help me.
I can't ignore her kindly. There's this constant mindless chit-chat -- in the same vein as the above. "This firm has lots of babies! Almost every month a baby!" (Over 1,000 employees....) I try so hard to be nice to everyone but if there's one thing I can't stand it's constant mindless chit-chat.
That's all. Thank you for listening to me.

Me, I'd just ignore her, but no one's ever accused me of being nice.

But it wouldn't work. She doesn't have a choice. She has to stay.

chit-chat ;-)
But it's different in person - no 'ignore' button!
