My boss was supposed to be back today - at supper time she said. I figured she'd actually get in much later than that, probably around nine, just because my boss is the kind of person that would be late for her own funeral. Despite my misgivings, I was certain she would be home today because she has appointments tomorrow.
I just got a phone call from her. Ohh, they stayed over long at some place - it sounds like Harrison Hot Springs - so could I call her appointments and reschedule them. Never mind that at 5pm everything will be closed. I left messages. I hope the charge her a full cancellation fee.
Also, today I actually was sharp with my co-worker because she was being so annoying. She finished the client she was working on so I gave her a small construction client to sort. It was just a handful of receipts. She whined about the state of the receipts; she whined about the fact that they were sorted incorrectly; she whined about the fact that he didn't have enough receipts. I finally said, you know, he's a young guy. We're lucky he managed to keep the damn receipts never mind the fact that he sorted them into some semblance of order. I for one am mighty impressed.
Then I gave her another client to sort. In the package was a note to my boss saying something like thanks for taking the time to do a family member's taxes. She immediately wanted to know - Who is this? How are they related? I kinda snapped I don't know and I don't care. It has nothing to do with sorting the receipts. So for the rest of the time she sat there grumbling about the fact that the woman was several years behind. I finally had to say, we don't know why she hasn't filed her taxes. Maybe she's been ill for a long time. When what I really wanted to say was shut the hell up and do your work.
I mean my gosh. When I get someone's stuff, I don't need to know their life history before I can work on them. And I don't sit there making comments about how they shouldn't have bought this or that or the other thing. I just... *shakes head* I don't know. I swear the woman's brain checks out when she comes to work. She's been working for my boss for seven years and yesterday I spent almost two hours redoing spreadsheets she'd done because they were wrong. SPREADSHEETS!!! My mind does not comprehend the ridiculousness of it all.
