Tell her "this is a place of business.  If you can't control your emotions, please leave."  That should help.


I stood in her doorway and angrily tapped my watch and said "time is money." I hope that helped the grieving process.

All of the stupid bullshit at work has gotten to the point where my job has gone from one I enjoyed to one that leaves me with that oh-****-it's-Monday-again feeling in the pit of my stomach. I dread coming in, and I've now been assigned so much work from empty positions (that no one is even trying to fill) that I'm having trouble doing my own work.
I forgot to include in my response rant. We had an open rec for a new college grad position to take over a bunch of the crappy, tedious work, but my manager was too slow in getting filled and the company has gone ahead with a hiring freeze for the rest of the year. I don't know which is worse - I guess your situation because at least there is certainty that I'm not getting help.

Meanwhile I have a coworker, who I have to help with basic Excel functions. She can't even do a basic VLOOKUP.

What do you mean again? This is the first time I've been wrong to the best of my knowledge.

Neo could do that between his homework.

East coast meetings when you live on the west coast. Hence me having to be at work at 6am today.


lol. If I haven't gotten the day started by 6 it's a bad day.

My dog woke me up at 3 am the other night, because he had to piss and he apparently didn't do it, when we were out for his evening walk at 9:30. Also it was pouring rain.
