Can you believe this woman?

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

Where do I even begin? I have a co-worker, I will call her Shanaynay for anonymity. Shanaynay has been working for our department for four years, going on five. She is an administrative secretary; basically she does peoples photocopies, filing, etc.  You would think that someone in her position would be quiet and willing to help, WRONG. This woman will pick and choose what she wants to do, and since she is the office aide she will tell her supervisor that she has too much to do and can only do certain things….she says this, but than I see her posting pictures on Myspace and making a résumé for her baby daddy (who is 29, but yet to finish his GED).  Her grammar is horrible and her writing skills absolutely atrocious.  She even had the audacity to tell me, an Executive Administrator that she should have my job because her associate degree in office management is far better than my BA and MA, and makes her by far more qualified.  I bit my tongue because I know she speaks out of ignorance and poor upbringing.   Further more, at one point I took pity on her and let her borrow my daughters walker (she has four kids from different fathers) and let her take it home so her little one could enjoy it. Well, she brought it back today and it was filthy. It was smeared in dirt, and her family’s hair was all over it, black coarse hair. It was very disgusting.  I don’t know where the walker has been, so I just threw it in the dumpster.  Further more, she is on public assistance, yet she can some how afford a new car, iphone, and gets her nails done weekly. She get’s mad when ever any of us receives a birthday gift from our boss (usually a 150 gift certificate to somewhere) because she claims she never gets anything, even though when baby #4 came along, the department showered her with a new crib, travel system, and playpen, high chair,  and several of the things on her baby wish list. This woman is so unreal; I don’t know why she hasn’t been fired already!
