Dear Barbara:
I can’t quite figure out why you were hired or how you even got through college. If you ask me one more time how to copy a file from a disk to a hard drive, or how to find something on the server, I’m going to scream loudly and obscenely, regardless of my proximity to the boss.
Furthermore, I understand that you’re working low-level data entry and that it’s boring. I get that. I used to do your job. However, complaining loudly and in a slow, whiny drawl doesn’t do anything to make it less boring, it just makes the rest of our jobs harder, because suddenly we’re having to block you out! Also, your “subtle” attempts at weaseling your way out of the work you’ve been assigned by asking us what we’re doing and if you can also do it are, well, pretty damned obvious.
Plus it’ll never happen because — what are you again? Oh right! Part-time data-entry! Do what you were hired to do and quit your bitching! If you hate the job, go find another one and stop making all of the rest of our days at work so painful.
Thoroughly annoyed,
Fortuna
