Hail Purdue!

Well, that's the last time I touch any of my office mate's stuff. She's got this 2001 Purdue Football bobble head dude on her cabinet. Mind you, a bored Tammolly is a dangerous Tammolly. I'm making the head bobble around while waiting on her to get done with someone else. I see a button on the bobble head guy, it looks sorta mechanical in nature, movable arms and stuff. I hit the button and the Purdue fight song start blaring out of this thing and there is no way to turn the damn thing off! lol Everyone is now looking over their perspective cubicle prairie walls to see what all the noise and laughter is about. I was laughing so hard I was in tears. too funny. 11:15 Break TIME!

LUNCH TIME! 12:21 I haven't been having much fun today. Well, sorta, I'm finding more and more stuff the intern should be doing and is not. Before, I would try to keep things somewhat organized in the folders and file some stuff before she got here to work on W-2 duplicate request forms. Now, I'm not even making mailing labels! REALLY! She's supposed to be doing this stuff. She's gotta be one of the most unmotivated people I have met. Takes no initiative to see that something needs done and just doesn't do it. If you see a stack of papers, alphabetize them or put them in numerical order or even by date. WHICHEVER WE WILL NEED TO SEARCH FOR STUFF BY! A'rooo?

So I spent a half hour of my morning putting post-its on piles of paper with instructions on what she needs to do with them. We're supposed to look for returned W-2s when the duplicate requests come into the office. (Let's save some resources here by not wasting paper by printing out duplicates that don't need to be printed out here shall we?) I don't think she's been doing that either. A few things need to be done with each sheet! Highlight the name to make locating that information easier. Circle what needs to be done with the duplicate, mail, fax, or front desk for pick-up. Place a check mark in the upper right corner to show you have checked for the returned W-2s. Once they are completed, right down the date it was completed then put them in the completed folder in alphabetical order, not in clumps of alphabetical order, or groups of letters in alphabetical clumps, make sure they are ALL IN ONE STACK IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER IN THE COMPLETED FOLDER! Oy-vey

It's clearly not rocket science folks. Obviously, I know how to do this, because I've been doing all this crap for her and busting ass to get my stuff done, which I have not had time to do without skipping breaks and working through my lunch hour! Now that it's her responsibility, it's a huge friggen deal and she's not happy about it. Go figure. It means she'll have to stop moving around like a sloth and get something done in the 20 hours a week she's here besides chat and fiddle with her music player. I have no sympathy for students and the work they have to do, especially when I had a full-time job, full-time school, and a full-time and a half pain in the ass ex-husband who didn't get it. My supervisors are now seeing exactly why I was so pissed about the whole losing my desk deal when she's clearly not getting the work done, the little stuff is part of the work too and I'm done with the coddling.

Only nine more days to go before the new job starts. Granted, it's only five working days if you want to look at it that way. Five more days! WOO-HOO! No more Tubbo and crappy office drama and BS to deal with from the hell pit that is Purdue's clerical nightmare tango! I hope the people I will be working with won't be as annoying as some of the folks I have run into around here. Hopefully, I'll be dealing mainly with the kids rather than the employees, but we'll see what happens here. :) Time to end me lunch hour with a few Girl Scout cookies. Mmmmm cookies.


Tammolly ~ Just passing time



...So if I die today I'll be the happy phantom
And I'll go wearin' my naughties like a jewel
I'm still an angel to a girl who hates to sin…
