What do you do with a completely annoying friend? Well, partly annoying—partly high maintenance.
The high maintenance refers to her attitude and constant need of reassurance. I work with the lady—and I love her—but sometimes it’s too much for my impatient mind to take.
An example from today’s surge of bitchiness:
Lenny emailed the boss and cc’d several others (including Ms. Attitude). Once boss replied to all, Ms. Attitude complained to me that “I have to get back in boss’ favor. Lenny is trying to push me out and make me look bad.”
Why, I asked?
“You don’t understand! Lenny only emailed the boss to piss me off!”
Um, okay. So I found myself assuring her that even if the boss likes Lenny, that doesn’t mean the boss can’t like her too. Are we in Jr. High School again?
My favorite email:
“Lenny and Rebecca are talking about me behind my back.”
Uh…Ms. Attitude, what do you think you’re doing right now?
Six hours into our 8 hour work day and I have received 32 emails from Ms. Attitude complaining of one injustice or another.
I feel obligated to mention that I’m 30 years old and Ms. Attitude is 48.
