Bleh was out yesterday --- yes, I was overjoyed! It was so quiet and peaceful in the office. Unfortunately, she came back today. 30 minutes late. Oh, and she's also made 8 personal calls.
Sigh. The Supervisor is still out of the country and won't be back until the first week of July. Sure, I could tell her all the crap Bleh's done while she's been gone, but it wouldn't help me now. Nor would the Supervisor do anything about it. Sup seems to be happy with the "work" Bleh is doing.
To answer a reader's question, no, Bleh doesn't make up the 15, 20, or 30 minutes she misses every morning. Not to my knowledge anyway.
Why do I stick around in this job with such a horrible mess of a colleague? Simple: the money is good and I actually like what I do. I just don't like Bleh. She's the "con" on my pros and cons list. She's the burr under the saddle.
Honestly, a lot of therapy and a little religion keep me from strangling her with her ill-fitting slacks. Most days I can tune her out, but some days.... some days she's lucky I'm a civilized creature.
