Ughh. What do you do when one of your coworkers constantly let their emotions run wild at work?

I've got this person that has no fucking tact. She's always bitching about something, someone, everyone. Hey, the great thing is, she doesn't discriminate right? She HATES everyone equally. No matter how cool you are with her, no matter how "close" you are, she will shoot bullets at you like a fuckin terrorist.

You should see the emails she pushes out. The tone in her writing is always demeaning and "holier than thou." One day, I'll be on her good side, the next, I'll be on her hit list. Bipolar is the best way to describe it.

I bet if she reads this she'll get all butthurt and try to defend her attitude at work. I had another coworker that tried to talk to her as a friend since she asked for advice. What does she do? She pulls rank and says "You can't talk to your boss like that!" Why the fuck did she ask for advice and criticism? If you can't take the heat, I don't gotta type the rest. BTW, she ain't my boss in case you're wondering.

Fuckin attitude problem. Hey, its good to be proactive, its good to be on top of things and get shit done. It's not good to be aggressive, its not good to be pushy, its not good to be a douche. They can be good traits, but have some fucking tact please.

The bitch damn near yells at me through email because I ask a question. COME THE FUCK ON IM JUST THE FUCKIN MESSENGER.

I can go all day bitching about her. This is the first time I'm documenting it. I guess the steam is blowing off the lid now.

so tonite, i cant sleep. i come home after a night of hanging out with friends, i lay in my bed, and work comes into my mind as i close my eyes. an email i received is burned into my mind as im reading it over and over. i lay in bed getting annoyed and pissed at the same time. then another email string pulls in also and pisses me off even more.

the second string i mentioned has been pretty much an email that ive been resending for a few weeks now. i requested that IT set something up for me. they kinda did, but not really. ive been contacting the guy who did it for me and hes been brushing me off this whole time. the one time i got to talk to him, he wasn't even paying attention to me. i could tell he was off reading something while we were talking details since it would take him almost 10 seconds to say "yes" or "no." so this particular email string has been fueling the fire for quite some time now. this isnt the first time hes done this to me either.

the first email that i started this entry with is regarding an admin i haven't spoken to before. i give my usual intro - what dept i work in and what my purpose for the mail was. i needed approval from c-level management to get some paperwork done. it just so happens, our c-level manager is the COO of the company. I dont know why, but thats just how our little group is run.

i make the request, and ask to set up a meeting to get this shit handled. and the email she sent back is the reason why i cant sleep. it may be pretty innocent, but its pissing me the fuck off.

she emails me back reminding me who im asking for by telling me his role at our company. wtf? how can i not know? on top of that, she doesn't bother reading into the email fully. i told her what department i was in, but she replies telling me whos in charge of my dept like i dont work with them. i knew she thought i was part of IT because the VP of IT was cc'd on the email.

no tact. i couldnt help but feel embarrassed. i wanted to email back with wtfdumbshit and attach the email requesting c-level approval as proof to mega-pwn this dumbfuck. but i held my guns in their holsters and moved on. but now its bothering me again. i wanna email back saying what i originally conjured up, but who works at 2am?

it shouldnt really bother me. afterall, she was the dumbfuck who cc'd people i dont work with on the string and even though i told her what group im in, she still assumed i was part of another.

i guess whats really pissing me off is the way she wrote the email. i guess i wasn't clear about the COO being the COO, but i wrote it in respects to him being our dept's VP. and thats only because our dysfunctional little group doesn't have a c-level exec running the group. im not kidding here. we have a manager and then its the COO. wtf?

thats besides the point. my point is, the girl didn't write me back with any diplomacy and it makes us both look bad with dumb emails like that.

this also brings up another point that ill write about in the next entry...
