I need to sacrifice a fatted calf. Or maybe I'll just sacrifice my co-worker and that'll take care of the whole issue. Today she copied over a file she was supposed to be uploading to her computer, so instead of bringing her computer up to date, she wiped out the current data. Okay fine. So then I reconstructed the lost data and said, if you follow these steps, you'll be back where you should have started and then you can carry on with the new stuff.
An hour later, I hear the dreaded words - Can you help me???? I go over to her computer and find that instead of doing what I told her, she went off doing a bunch of other stuff and put everything out to lunch. I get her back on the path she's supposed to be on and being totally frustrated with the whole thing, enter the rest of the stuff myself. So now she's just got new stuff to process. I leave her to it.
The rest of the day was spent listening to her complain about everything, from how they stapled their paperwork to how they listed their revenue. If you should one day hear on the news that a Filipina worker was brutally strangled to death in a housing co-op in British Columbia, you'll know who's responsible.
