Its Friday morning at 5:12. I got off work early and came home. There was still a cup of coffee in the pot, so I poured it for me. Yesterday we got our new uniform clothes we ordered last October, so I threw them all in the washer. I could wear them out of the plastic bag they came in, but I want the starch out of them. It makes me itch. So now I am sitting in bed with my lappy, typing to you and watching this weeks episode of 24. There is no way everything Jack Bauer does in a 24 hour day could realisticly happen. But hey, it's Jack. he can do anything. Its the magic of TV.
This week has been pretty uneventful. go to work, come home, sleep, repeat five times. Monday was my 52nd birthday and I got happy birthday wishes from so many of my wonderful friends. It was a great way to start the week. I even got balloons from Amber. Pretty cool huh!
There was on incident at work that set me off though. I work with a person that thinks the rules on the floor dont apply to her. She pretty much has done what she want to since she started there. She is taller and bigger than everyone on the floor, and refers to herself as "Queen Bitch". Yes, you read that right. Well guess what, I am not one bit intimidated by her and I confront her every time she pulls her crap on me. I am probably the only one that will say anything to her.
Anyway, she set her own rules on something and I told her she was wrong, she said she was doing things her way. I dont really want to go into the whole details of the situation, it would just sound stupid on here. Anyway, I went and told our resource he needed to talk to her and tell her she cant make her own rules. It makes a difference. He said he would talk to her, so I went back to my line and started doing my job again. A little later, I asked my resource if had talked to her. He said he was going to say something at the next preshift meeting. #$%^&^*&&%^*&^*)Y&_(*&_*(&! Those were the words that came out of my mouth.
I went off! I told him so now she gets to get away with doing whatever she wants again. She doesnt have to follow the rules because no one wants to confront her. I was yelling and swearing. it went on for about ten minutes. I am so sick of this lady. I am sick of being the only person willing to speak up about her. My next step is to file a personal complaint against her. If she even speaks to me in an off tone that will be it. For crying out loud, even the resource doesnt want to talk to her.
Wow! That felt really good. I am going to have to do this more often. It doesnt solve the issue, but it made me feel better. On a brighter note, there was a job posting for a position out of the department. It includes a raise and is still my shift and days I work. I put in a bid for it and will find out next week if I get it. its based on seniority, so we will see who else applied for it. I will let you know.
So that is it for today. We have nothing planned for this weekend, so Im sure it will be play it by ear. I am going to post this and take a nap so I dont fall asleep at five today. have a great weekend.
You go girl....I mean, it's hard for me to picture you ranting and raving - especially since you are such a little thing.....but I bet you shocked the heck out of your resource guy - hopefully enough that he'll grow a pair and do something about queen bitch.
ReplyDeleteCrossing my fingers that you get this job if you want it......
I'm surprised they hired her.. the minute I hear words like that as a manager.. and they are still in probationary period.. they're gone. If they do it AFTER probationary period.. they are put BACK ON probationary period.. so, that they can realize.. the rules apply to ALL.. and that in a heartbeat.. they'll be gone. If he doesn't talk to her.. take it up one notch.. and file against the person who's obviously coasting and avoiding confrontation. They need management's support as well.. and perhaps.. just perhaps.. they don't get it.
ReplyDeleteI hope you win the bid on the new job. You need to get away from this woman. She's a vexation to your spirit and no good for you to be around. The world is full of people like her. We have some "relatives" at our place too. I don't talk to them, but everyone knows who they are and avoid them like the plague. These types always get their "comeupance" (if that's even a word), but it might take some time. Eventually ...
ReplyDeleteI hope I get that bid. If she even says one word to me i am filing a personal complaint against her. Unfortunatly, my resorce will have to take some blame at the same time. its really getting old.
