want to hear something stupid?

insufferable coworker gave me a head's up, that another coworker now has a virus on his computer because of the people of Walmart site, and *I* showed it to him.

i tilted my head to the side, and said, "that stinks"

she also implied that it was somehow my fault he has a virus (because i told him about the site), so i told her that he's a grown man who can decide for himself which sites he views on his computer.

and really, 5 other people have been looking at that website today, none of them heard of it from me. i haven't been on that site in weeks. maybe he was looking up some porn.

if i could punch her in the face and get away with it, i totally would. if you have ever felt it in you that you wanted to hit someone so badly, that is how i feel about her every day. she's not mean or evil to anyone. just nosy and a little stupid.

Re: want to hear something stupid?

  • um, why don't all of the other people-of-walmart viewers have viruses, too?

    smrt.

  • Um, how does his person know where the virus came from? Stupid.
  • This sounds like it could be a very entertaining coworker. (For us, I'm sure she'd just continuously piss you off!)

  • she's not really fun. she cackles when she laughs. i had to train her on what i am doing yesterday, and she wrote everything i said down. EVERYTHING.

    me: after you input the name in the name field, hit ENTER.

    her: (to herself as she writes) input ...name ...in ...name ...field ...and ...hit ...enter....

    me: ok, now you have to look him up in the reservation system....

    her: WAIT, do i do anything after I hit ENTER?

    me: yes, you look him up in the reservation system.

  • Oh God. I think your co-worker took over my old job when I left. Training her was HELL. She asked me to show her how to do the same thing no less than 7 times, and each time she took copious notes. I don't know what she did with the notes when she finished writing them, because she clearly wasn't referring to them to figure out what to do.

    She asked me as I was walking out the door on my last day if I could show her what I did because she didn't think I'd spent enough time training her. 

  • it's a point-and-click tool we use. i know when something is unfamiliar, it takes time to learn. but FFS, it's 2009 going on 2010. we should know basic computer skills by now.
  • s/o no computer skills, we hired a retired art teacher to work the parts counter, answer phones, etc. I went to show him how to punch in on the computer, so I moved the mouse to get rid of the screensaver... he was amazed. He pointed at the mouse and said "so moving that thing" looks up at computer screen "turns on that thing?" smdh
