Every morning I walk past a coworker on my way to fill up my water bottle who just HAS to start asking me work questions. I haven't even had my coffee and already she's found SOMETHING wrong that she has to bitch about. That SOMETHING is also somehow my responsibility to fix. G-d forbid she actually look for directions or click on something to see if it's fixable. She's one of those helpless people who doesn't know a lick of Excel but uses it anyway... and expects me to correct any errors she manages to create (and she ALWAYS does).

This morning it was about the date. She said she typed January 08 and it went back to January 07. No matter how many times she tried (my guess is two) she couldn't get the date to be 08. Usually (meaning every fucking day) I go over there and magically fix whatever issue she has. This morning I'm tired. I'm cranky. I haven't had my coffee... AND I'm PMSing.

Her: It won't change to 08
Me: Wow... *rolls eyes*
Her: No matter what I do
Me: I never heard of that
Her: I've tried it over and over
Me: Gee... that sucks. Maybe you should just type January since the report is named 2008?
Her: Nevermind (really pissy). I'LL keep trying.

Then she gives me attitude because I don't fly over there to save the day. Again. Besides it NOT being my job to be her secretary, I REALLY didn't appreciate her 'so you do it' attitude. She's been on my nerve all week with the 'Oh woe is me, I work so hard' while I pick up her slack (and the rest of the groups). I don't bitch about it. I don't whine to them. I just do it. So yeah... I got a tad annoyed when she once again expected me to fix something without asking how SHE could do it. Is this day over yet?
