Doing the Do

2005-08-24

At home today with an aching body, I had hoped I�d make it to work today but I just need to lie down and sleep.

Who looks after a sick single Mum? Herself

Going back to bed, drinking lots of water, going to have a warm bath, read a bit, just lay around really. Would be nice to have someone bring me a hot cup of weak black tea with lemon in it. Any takers? Oh that�s ok I�ll get it myself.

This woman that I�ve been having all the annoying trouble with at work is really pushing my patience. I don�t think she can see that she is just a porn in the game that goes on at work. That�s ok, she needs to have her needs met just like we all do, but I�m not keen on the wake she leaves behind her.

I don�t like the way she is dismissive, rude, condescending, and her way is the right way. I just have to work out a way to manage her because if I don�t I�m likely to just yell at her. I have a feeling the reason she is where she is, is due to her brown nosing and steponpeopletogetwhereineedtogo attitude to get there. She should be careful though cause people have memories, and no amount of her justifying it in her mind that she�s ok and not hurting anyone, they don�t forget.

It just annoys me when I suggest something that she has overlooked that she turns it around to try and make me believe that she had already thought of that and that yes she was going to include it, even when she�s already said that what she had before was the best. I know that�s not making much sense; she takes on people�s ideas as her own. You can see her taking it in and the next day she regurgitates it as her own. What�s with that? I don�t mind sharing at all, in fact I think that�s how a good team operates but every now and again a bit of recognition is appreciated instead of her taking all the kudos.

She is supposed to be our voice but I don�t like our chance of being heard. I told her yesterday that even though the strategy to get D back into the Library was transparent does she realise how often D has said she doesn�t want to go back? �Yes� she replied �what can I do, I�ve already said that� and my suggestion was �how about we come up with our own strategy like what happens to our team when we loose a valuable member of it? Who is going to replace D?� Dismissed again�. I then pointed out that the team is shrinking cause I�m involved in another project which is about to hot up and will be sucked back into that and D will be in the Library and YOU will be on your own. Hell she didn�t like that idea cause she will have no one to suck ideas from let alone be able to do anything technical because she doesn�t have the freaking skills, just a bloody brown nose which is getting deeper in hue each time I look at her!!

Anyway will deal with that tomorrow when I�m feeling better but for now back to bed.
