Anger update

[virtuolie]

I’m realizing that most of my negative feelings during the day are focused on one person, my assistant. One reason for that is that she’s the person I interface the most with professionally. Another factor is the “political tension” in the office, due to our boss kind of playing us off of each other in our mutual attempts to increase our positions

she's your assistant?
guess you don't have any say in whether she's stays or goes, then? cuz it sounds like she may have been gone before now if you did have any say in it.

however.. you *could* make her life a living hell at work, right?
now.. ask yourself... WWKD?
what would kelly do?

i'd tell her what she could do with her attitude & snide comments.
then, i'd double her work load somehow.
OH - *and* i'd take 100% credit for her work. =D

Tru dat.

Actually, it's really difficult to find a truly competent person who is willing to work for the little amount of money they are willing to pay, especially considering that it requires a college degree.

I think her resentment is due to the fact that my slacking off causes her to do more work, so the revenge is built in. :)

that's what assistants are for.
they are supposed to do as much of your work as possible as well as possible so your life can be easier.
at least, that is how i've always worked as an admin assistant...
