Stupid CoWorkers

I work with a fellow, “Paul” who basks and bellows in his ego and self righteousness all day long. He parades around our office as a know it all letting everyone know that he’s got the connections at the top,he knows all the right file formats and processes for setting up and converting complex drafting/ geomatics files. A few quick questions to him and I was told that he was too busy, the process that I was asking for was too complex, or that what I was doing was over my head and I should leave it to the “qualified personelle”, namely himself.

I like to think of myself as a forgiving, understanding individual. One can only put up with so much. I had this employee, let’s call her Darla, who was desperate to have a man in her life. We were traveling consultants, spending 5 nights away from home, so starting a relationship was difficult. Since she had no friends, I felt sorry for her and made friends with her at work.

My sad story is about a woman I used to work with (best day of my life was when I left the company).

It’s so hard to know where to begin with this silly cow. However, we’ll start by calling her “Ashley”. I was the receptionist/administrator for the department and saw all the potential hires (and read most of the resumes) for “Ashley’s” job. She was certainly not the most suitable applicant by a mile but I digress.

We had our company party this evening…

Every holiday season, our tiny ad agency holds an annual party for the 4 employees, 3 full-time freelancers who’ve worked there for years, and all of our clients and a few vendors. The party this year was at a very fancy 5-star restaurant–the kind where the entree is 1/10th the size of the plate. OK, nice party, about 40 people all dressed up, and the boss/owner of the agency starts making glorious comments about how wonderful it’s been to work with such a great staff of people, blah, blah. Endless raves about the clients and how good it is to be in business for five years, blah, blah.
