Exasperated

Well, just as I suspected, TOXIC CO-WORKER took off today at 11:30 to "go home and go to bed" because she was just *so* sick! This woman has not worked a 40 hour week in a LONG time. And they let her get away with it. I just don't understand it.

Seemed fine when she got in. She came down to my office around 11:20 crying (fake) saying "I just don't know what's wrong with me but I wish it would stop..."

I've said this before-tears in the office DO NOT work for me. Ever.

You don't see guys crying about stupid things at work, do you? Why is it that women have to use the tears and be such drama queens all the time? And manipulative.

I also found out that she asked for her paycheck early and got it. She was paid through today-and she takes off half the day?? And she wasn't going to go to the guys and ask if she could go home (like she normally does-and they always let her of course...) because she KNOWS she's taken too much time off already.

She wanted a Friday afternoon off. Plain and simple.

I emailed my boss, because to my knowledge, she didn't even clear it with any of the guys (they were all out of the office "on assignment"). I do not feel bad about emailing him, either. If they don't do something about her soon, I don't know what I'm going to do!!

She had the nerve to tell me to stop being so cranky the other day, like I'm not allowed to ever be cranky around her. She snapped at me several times earlier in the week because SHE was crabby. At the time I made light of it, but because of her comment to me, I have now changed my whole attitude. Permanently. This little drama episode today got on my last nerve.
