Work

Remember the move "Gremlins"? Add water to the cute little guys and they multiply? Feed them after a certain time and they turn into monsters? Well, someone has been watering and feeding my desk.

AND I have found myself embroiled in a situation that really ticks me off. We have a person in the office who did something REALLY unprofessional, offensive, rude and just plain stupid. To give you an idea: Remember the movie "The Rainmaker" with Matt Damon? (If you haven't see it, you should.) In the movie, an insurance company writes a letter to the mother of a child (albeit grown man) with cancer and says, "You must be stupid, stupid, stupid." Our employee basically did the same thing, but in reverse. She sent MANY letters to an enormous insurance company telling them how "IMCOMPETENT" (yes, that is how it was spelled) they are and how they aren't being "FARE" to "THERE" insureds. The examples could go on...but you get the point.

So anyway, in the midst of finding this stuff out, I also find out SHE TRIED TO BLAME ME. Not for sending the letters, but because I hadn't finished the form letters she is supposed to use. Now, let's all keep in mind that ANY time she came to me and asked me to do one that she needed right way, she'd have it within a half hour. She hasn't asked me for one in a LONG time, so I assumed (we all know what that does) it was safe to take my time since I have a half billion other things to do around here, too. Apparently I was mistaken. In any event, at no time, in no way, would I have written anything even remotely similar to the content she did. That isn't to say I wouldn't have thought it...but I definitely wouldn't have put it in writing.

Not only did what she send out make me furious, but the fact that she blamed me for not giving her the form letters really TICKED ME OFF.

Yeah, so while I'm processing all this, guess who gets told to do the write up form????? Guess what I wanted to write...
