Someone hold me back.. quick..

I swear.. I am gonna b!T(& slap this co worker of mine... OMG.. We have a presentation due tommorrow for the "people who pay us" and she has not lifted one finger to help me at all.. I created the powerpoint presentation. I wrote the 20 documents for behavioral support.. I created the cute little magnet business cards.. I bought the covers, magnets, business cards and nice pens we give them when they arrive.. So today I am finishing all of this.. right.. As stuff is printing I am putting it in the folders.. putting it together.. she is doing nothing but visiting her friends all day and working on a report she has.. (i have 4 I need to write) So I say.. hey Jodi.. can you help me put these folders together.. she is pretty computer dumb so I try to be understanding.. she says.. oh I need to go over to talk t the boss for a minute.. I go over there to give him a brief and she is sitting at the desk gossiping with our secertary.. can you believe it.. she never needed to see the boss.. she just doesnt want to help me.. I have been doing this for 3 weeks.. with no help and since 600 this morning.. and she just looks at me.. she is avoiding even talking to me today cause she doesnt want to help.. Now lets top this off.. I buy all the stuff.. total cost so far.. $75.00. She actually says to me.. "Ok tommorrow I will pick up the bagels and cream cheeses for the meeting. You buy the coffee and orange juice.. does that sound fair"... Hell no it doesnt sound fair.. I swear I am gonna slap that )(*)*)* in the face in about a half a second. good thing she is over gossiping with the secratary. now dont think I wish i could tell.. but it doesnt work that way around here.. boss lets us do what ever we want to do as long as we come to work and do what we need to do.. so i go to the gym.. shopping.. etc.. so I get away with things myself.. but I always do my job.. she does not.. but to start a war with her is not worth it cause my boss is terrible at conflict and i would end up suffering in the end.. so i just have to hold my tongue and do my job..grrr... thanks for letting me vent..

OH man I would have told her to get her butt moving and then told her No! get all the juice abd coffee and bagels yourself, seeing as how you did noting to help so far!

Deeeeeeeeep Breath ! O.K., she's just a slime ball ! She will surely get whats coming to her soon enough and if not maybe we could send Andi over there to light a fire under her ass , oooooooh I so love ANDI when it comes to this!

Yeah thats a great idea.. after I wrote this her butt came back over and she left for the day.. didnt even speak to me.. grrr.. I was so mad.. I am still mad.. now we are getting ready for the meeting and she has not said a word to me about the meeting today. I dont think she will be here much longer.. she got her license to sell houses.. she is more interested in that right now anyway.. I just gotta survive today without telling her off.. Lets see.. so Andi.. can you come over her and kick her butt for me.. I know you would have her in her place in seconds.. I am just to timid for that.. I am weak in the area of talking about how I feel.. except for on here most of the time.. in real life I am pretty quite.. yes.. stop laughing.. i am quite.. I talk.. but not about how I feel to others...

((((((((Carla)))))))))))))) sweet pea, it's your butt i'd kick not hers. You allowed her to get away with all this, you did not hold her accountable for any portion of this project and therefore you enabled her to walk all over you as if you had welcome stamped on your forehead! Let me tell you how to handle this in the future: you sit down together over coffee/tea/margaritas and you decide what needs to be done, then you divvy up the work! This is very common among those of us with power issues, i have them as well. ANDI

I know but I am not very ruthless or mean.. I kind of say how I feel and want it to be over with.. she is not that way.. she likes getting unions involved, gossiping, undermining people.. my fear is i would just sit here and miss what she was doing behind my back only to find she has gotten me in trouble somehow.. she has done it before.. I know how she is.. two faced people who are sneaky are the hardest to deal with and rather than have to watch my back every second of the day because I made her mad.. sometimes it's just easier to do my job and ignore her.. In the end, I may be frustrated by what she does, but I know I did my job.. stayed true to myself and didnt let her win against my emotions.. yes.. i dont like her.. yes.. i wanna kick her butt. but in the scheme of life she is small fish and i have so much more than she has or will ever have.. I try and always look at the good side.. after i have my little tantrum..lol.. I am the optimist in the world.. oh well.. guess you already figured that out..
