Could you be more of a pain?

You want a mouse-roller-ball. I get you a mouse-roller-ball. "Well, I don't know if I can use it. It's different than the other one I was playing with."

You are the most disorganized, needy, demanding, flake of a flake-head. I find it hard to respect you, especially when you can't bloody communicate with me in any effective manner!

We are not a good match.

How about you stop whining about how you need to bill more hours and actually bill the hours you work? You're here till 10pm several times a week. You work over the weekends. How do you have no hours to bill? Could it be that you are too "nice" to bill your clients for the work? Or are you embarrassed to admit how long it takes you to do things?

"I'll take every phone call. Every phone call is a chance for work." Well, that's nice, but if you take every phone call when are you going to finish the work you've already contracted to do??

And a few more irritants:
Why do you need to walk into my very small cubicle to hand me stuff? I have a ledge. I have an inbox. You don't need to leave stuff on my chair, I will find it when you put it where it belongs. "Where it belongs" does NOT mean randomly on my desk. Also, don't sit at my desk and rearrange my things just so you can write me a post-it note.

And, in conclusion, could you stop yelling directions or questions to me from your office? It's rude to the other office dwellers. And when I can't hear you, I have to get up and go to your office to ask. Is there a reason you can't send an email? Use the intercom? Or get off your butt?
Oh, wait - don't get off your butt, because if you come out here you'll just invade my space again!!

This is why one ought not to work for a person less intelligent than oneself.

Judging by the amount of complaints you have for your work enviroment, I hope you are looking for a new job. My ex also worked at a law firm and had pretty much the same complaints as you. Law firms just don't seem to be a great place to work.

It's not THAT bad, actually. I've been doing the admin thing for a decade and I know how much worse it could be.
Realistically, I should stick it out until I get done with the teaching certification.

But oh, she does drive me crazy some days...

Wow. hellish. Irritating and "Oooh, you have your own ledge?"

Hey, you should have M call or email my GM, D.Z. He would like to meet with M on monday about possible employment at the Rosedale store.
Ahem, sorry, lost M's cell #.
