Cindori | Thursday, October 30, 2003 - 10:46 am     OK, I have something I'm grouchy about. My officemate (hereafter known as "Eeyore") has to be the most unhappy person I've ever met. I've worked at my present job for five years, and Eeyore has been here for one. She fell into the job after being laid off from her previous employer by virtue of the fact that her nephews are our bosses. While she is generally an exceptionally nice person, she doesn't catch on to things quickly nor does she excel at time management. She answers the phones and posts daily payments to accounts. Period. I, on the other hand, am responsible for a wide variety of daily responsibilities, as well as many other items that somehow got handed off to me when she replaced the previous employee. In addition, I'm an extreme multitasker and have difficulty fathoming writing notes to oneself and having to deal with a pile of odds and ends at the end of every day, rather than taking care of minor issues through the course of the day in an efficient manner. Major time consuming items I can understand putting off until one can fully devote attention to them, but little things like telling a customer on the phone what their balance is I don't understand temporizing (in reality, it should only take 30 seconds or so). Eeyore isn't capable of learning anything new at this point, evidently, as every day she asks me for instruction on a procedure that I've previously demonstrated (usually multiple previous demonstrations). After a year, one would think she'd have caught on, yes? I do not think that this person is dumb at all, but I do believe she's letting herself be overwhelmed. Every DAY Eeyore says something to me about how she can't stand this place and can't wait to quit. It gets incredibly old to hear a person say how much they hate a situation they're entirely free to change. She can't stand the way her nephews act, she can't stand the way the customers act, she can't stand the way our drivers act, etc. I can hardly have a conversation with her without her mentioning SOMETHING she doesn't like about this place. (For the record, I really like my job and the company for which we work.) Today, for example, I said, "I'm so looking forward to a weekend, how about you?" She replied, "I just need to get out of this place. I'm not cut out for this, I've had it." ARGH!!! What bothers me the most, I think, is when she sulks at her desk for the entire day, sighing occasionally and huffing often, just to let everyone in the vicinity know she's unhappy. I'm generally a happy person, I wake up in the morning in a decent mood, then I come to work and have to protect my own mental health from the fumes emanating 8 feet or so away. It's all very difficult. ARGH again. |
