ok, some background information here: it is my wont to announce how much time I’ve got left before I can go home. When I was working nights it was non-stop, but now that I’ve switched to mainly days it has become that way for the last hour or so. “55 minutes left” “7 minutes left” what have you. often enough to make me happy, but not often enough(so I thought) to get on anyone’s nerves.

last night, I was coming back to the department from elsewhere, and I saw the person coming in as my replacement, so I said, quite happily “7 minutes left!” and she became quite angry. She told to shut up, and that she wasn’t dealing with that garbage. So I said, as is my wont, “why? are you angry you’ve got 8 hours and 45 minutes to go?” Then she became even angrier and said she shouldn’t be forced to listen to this. So I told her to cover her ears, no one’s forcing her.

And then I went home.

So today, I hear that she’s actually complained to the boss about my countdown. Which perplexed me even more, since I hadn’t worked with her in about 2 months, and she’s never said anything about it before. So i’m sure she’ll complain again after last night. I honestly hope I get written up by the boss for this, so I can laugh in their faces when they talk to me about this “write-up”.

now, perhaps with this, you understand a little bit more why I hate this job, having to deal with coworkers like this.

but seriously. I hate this place more than you’ll ever understand.

I hate this place so very very much.
