Do you ever go through love/hate with co-workers?
There is a co-worker that I normally like--she has her annoying qualities, but normally I can look past that.
Lately, though, she's just be GRATING on my nerves!! Everything seems magnified at the moment--and she's not doing anything to help with my annoyances either (ie she makes definitive comments on things she's never actually done or seens when I've done or seen the things in question, etc). It's not my place to say anything, but grrr. Am I alone in this? Or am I normal? I hope that this period of annoyance will pass soon...
Has this happend to anyone else before? Did the feelings pass?
Re: Do you ever go through love/hate with co-workers?
Ditto. I can tolerate most of the people I work with, but some days they really get on my nerves and I just want to shut my office door.
Triple ditto. There's one guy here that I used to joke around with but I guess he thought since I joke around that it's OK to push the envelope as far as things he says that are either discriminatory towards others or kind of offensive (like commenting that DH & I probably never left our room on our honeymoon....uh, gross!). We used to get along well, but I'm just over playing along with what he thinks is funny. He's terrible on the computer and his office is across from mine so he's seriously always calling me over to help him w/ his computer issues and I just want to be like "uh, I'm not your personal IT worker, maybe you would know how to do stuff if you ever took the time to figure it out yourself!!!" And he's my superior so I can't exactly say no.
Another coworker who I get along with is always telling play-by-play stories about his daughter's soccer games. I don't mind a kid story here or there, but I seriously don't giveashit to hear about every game and what happened. He's always talking about how her team is playing up an age group and super awesome, but I bet they suck.
My boss keeps talking about retiring soon (has been talking about it for a year now) which means half the people in my office are all possesive of the work (which we share) and are all jockying for position and trying SUPER hard to impress. They want to show how important they are so when the office reorganizes they get to move up. It's super annoying and I just want my boss to leave already b/c I'm so tired of everyone's asskissing.
For the most part, my co-workers are GREAT, I love working with a good group of ppl. I have one in the next office, though, that calls me over each and every time her kid is doing something "cute" at daycare (she has the livefeed going on her desktop from the daycare center). And, she is incredibly pushy with tickets (part of my job is to manage the tickets that my company gets - concert, bobcats, football, etc. we have a suite at Time Warner Cable arena). Um, those tickets are for customers, not you and your husband. But yet she will still hound me for them - a couple months back she wanted tix to Black Eyed Peas. I said, if I dont get any customer requests for them, you can have them. One of our sales guys came over and told me he had a customer who wanted the BEP tickets, so I said sure. Well, I heard my pushy co-worker sigh REALLY loudly and exaggerated in her office, which ticked me off, PLUS, unbeknownst to her, I had just gotten 2 extra tickets from another department who wasnt using them, so I was going to give her those. She really puts me in an awkward position because I could get in trouble giving tix to an employee vs. a customer, and I have explained it to her many times.
