It may be simple, but I'm proud of my work.

I got bored while burning some back-up DVD's and decided to try my hand at creating a banner for Mckyd's Pig Roast event. Mainly because in my professional blogging opinion, banners should be small little images that are easy to read, and with one click get you to your destination, not great big honking ones that take up half your screen. Because hey, we don't all own 21″ Widescreen LCD monitors… yet!

Thus, I present to the IAM world:

I can’t… I simply can’t.

I just don’t get it anymore at work I don’t think.  People drive me nuts.  My coworker is a friendly enough person, but she’s getting on my nerves lately.  I think it’s partially because of my PMS and partially because I take much of what she says literally when she probably is just joking around.

But while she’s going on about the horror stories of the past person who was in my seat and how that person complained to our boss about being interrupted all the time, I am starting to believe that that person wasn’t too far off from the truth.

One of the duties of my coworker is to write up the dockets based on our customer’s purchase orders and what I had quoted them.  And she’ll just start asking me questions about how to fill the docket in.  And like… hello? I’m writing an e-mail right now.  So I say I don’t know.  And she’ll… not exactly raise her voice at me in an angry way, but she *IS* raising her voice at me.  Which is irritating.  And like… look at the information inside the docket.  If you don’t know, ask at the end once you’ve filled in everything you can.

I think it just irritates me because she’ll end up asking me 15 questions about 3 dockets in the span of 10 minutes.  I do believe I will suggest to her to just fill in the bloody dockets as much as she can at the time, then ask me all at once which ever questions she needs, instead of asking as she goes.

And I think by now I’m just feeling a bit weirded out.

She keeps leaving early and asking me to clock her out so she makes her hours.  Which while I have no problem doing it here since I know there’s no cameras like at my last place… it irritates me in that why does she get to leave early and get paid and I don’t?

Bah.

I don’t know. Whatever.  I may not last as long here as I wanted to.  But that doesn’t really matter anymore. I want to retire by the time I’m 30.  Just 5 more years to go!

People need to learn to relax just a little.

I’m taking over for a person who was working for the company for many many years.  Like 18 at my last count, I think her official time standing with the organization is 20 years.  That’s a long time for the company I know.  And you know what?  She finally left because she’d gone crazy.

Not crazy like loony bin must be locked up, but still.  She left due to stress, and anxiety attacks, and general not-feeling-good-itis.  And it’s not helping the fact that I’m supposed to be stepping into her role.  What’s also not good is people are freaking out on me because I can’t do what they want when they want it.

Well to be perfectly honest with you, I don’t know who she used to blow or what kind of drugs she was offering up, because I have no idea how you can turnaround a job in 6 hours, when the standard turnaround time is at least 72 hours.

Anyways, I’m already getting increasingly frustrated with the job because the boss doesn’t really get it.  She’s been out of the industry so long getting back in now and not understanding how people think.

Which just drives me mad.
