laRubiaBonita Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 why are people soo Freaking stupid sometimes!!!!!!! AAAghhhh! so i am covering for the another departments secretary and helping out with there work load, cause the secretary and ept. head are both on vacation. the other dept. is animal control, which is enough stress by itself. The AC officer on duty, he is great guy and i like him a lot, but damn, you really cannot depend on him. There have been 3 dogs at large for almost three hours. The first 30 min. i was trying to get him to answer his damn phone. Now the police are also after the dogs, so they keep calling me..... I feel it makes my side look poor, animal control, when jorge cannot even get the dogs, plus he is a half-ass usually. and right when i got in this a.m. there is the is stack of files on my desk. turns out they are the files i asked my intern to pull yesterday. On my desk. Actually i had asked her to pull these on Monday.....but after two days, i "reminded" her. And she is really not an intern, just a student PT worker. she has only been here for 3 years, and we only pull the files to put in the status file cabinet EVERY MONTH, 12 times a year. You would think by now she would know when i say pull these renewals that she is to ALSO re-file them in the status drawer! I do not think i should have to explain the proocess each time. Then it only a half-assed attempt anyways. a quarter of the files were still in the original final drawer, cause i guess she did not look hard enough. Pisses me offf! This is why i do not trust her to do anything! She is just freaking incompetent, but will never be let go or fired cause all the guys think she is just "so cute" and hot. I BARELY trust her to take an ACCURATE phone message, and i cringed when i hear her talking and giving advice, as it is usually inaccurate. I have mentioned it before, and the same thing is always said. "Well, you need to train her, show hert what to do" Ummmm, 3 yrs. she has been here and has not picked up on what she is expected to do? i have shown her numerous times. I really just do not get how seemingly book smart persons, have little or no common sense sometimes. Wouldn't you think those two would correlate? i have known smart but ignorant folks through life, and it just amazes me how that even function and survive. Link to post Share on other sites
Lil Honey Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Originally posted by laRubiaBonita I really just do not get how seemingly book smart persons, have little or no common sense sometimes. Wouldn't you think those two would correlate? People with "book smarts" and people with common sense seem to be two entirely different breeds, IMHO. I'm not saying that occasionally there isn't over-lap. There are plenty of times I wonder what people are thinking. You know . . . like when you are driving through campus and these people with a so-called "higher education" walk out in front of your car. It just makes me wanna speed up. LMAO Any chance that you can get the office help transferred or replaced? And my solution to the AC officer not answering his phone . . . I have the same problem with my boss . . . maybe we could get a group discount on cattle prods . . . or shock collars . . . Link to post Share on other sites
Author laRubiaBonita Posted May 5, 2005 Author Share Posted May 5, 2005 nope....i am stuck with this girl till she quits. i was hoping my old boss would take her when he was transferred to another dept., since he is the one that blatantly drools over her, but no, guess he knows she sucks too . it pisses me off too, that she get doted on all the time, and i just get shat on, casue i am the "real employee". BS....if i did as crappy work as her i would not last. Link to post Share on other sites
FolderWife Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 About the intern.... If my boss said, "Pull these files" I'd pull them and lay them on her desk. She may think you need to look at them before she refiles them? So you say, "Pull me last months files" and she will pull them and give them to you. Then when you find them on your desk, you give them to her and say, "File these status drawer" and she does what you said...so she thinks she needs to pull them for you to look at, and then file them in the status drawer. Just tell her that from now on, pull them and put them in the status drawer...you do not need them. Link to post Share on other sites
