I have never had a job were the customers are better and easier to deal with than my co-workers. Until now that is. I have to work with one of the more annoying males I've ever met. He's incompotent, stupid, and childish. I also think that he doesn't like it when a woman knows more than he does. What does that mean for me? I get asked asinine questions, talked down to, pestered for attention, doing most of the work to prevent mistakes from happening ( mind you this has to be the easiest job I have ever had), correcting really stupid mistakes (ex. not FILING paperwork in the correct alphabetical order), having the idiot lie about me in front of me, our co-worker and our boss ( she was aware of his false accusations), gloating when he finally is right and I wasn't (he spent the rest of the day trying to prove me wrong about several other things and just ended up being wrong himself and looking like even more of an idiot), the list just goes on. I've already expressed to him that I dislike him yet he insist on trying to engage me in conversation. It doesn't matter how many curt answers I give him he keeps coming back. It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to be there five days a week but I do because I'm the most compotent person in that office and Julie isn't as willing to give me days off like she does the other two because if I'm not there shit goes wrong. I've got one of the advisors calling me that heart of the testing center. I'm a freaking student worker I get paid a pittance and have way more responsibility than I ever wanted simple because I'm capable. So much for easy summers. Mind you I have never wanted the school year to start as much as I want it to start now. Oh, I'm also the only one at the testing center working the week of the DNC, even my boss took that week off.
