Can We Get Rid of Her Yet?
(January 16, 2008)
Honest to G-d, this lazy coworker is going to be the death of me.... or her. On Friday I reminded her that a fellow coworker's birthday was this weekend and it was her turn to buy the cake. The rule is the last person to have a birthday gets to buy the next person a cake. Simple, right? Fair, right? yeah... so anyway, this lazy cow forgets to get the cake on Monday. I ask her and she starts some song and dance about having things going on, etc... and I slapped her back with a "It's ONCE a year. They did it for you." Tuesday 4pm rolls around and TT points over her shoulder that the cake is here. What she DOESN'T tell me is she 'forgot' again and another coworker got it for her. I ask if she's going to get everyone together and she starts some bullshit about how I can do it because she's busy entering stuff. I started to, then went back to my desk. It's not my problem. 4:15pm rolls around and she asks me as I walk by. I asked if she wanted to do it the next day. She agrees then I add, "Fine. You call up AR and tell her you have the cake but we're doing it tomorrow so she knows she wasn't forgotten." She looked at me like I said, "Fine. You slice the baby up and eat it's intestines while we point and laugh at you." She even had the nerve to say "I didn't even want to be involved in this." I said, "fine, you tell The Boss you don't want to". Two minutes later I was told we were doing the cake. Mind you, that lazy cow didn't even flinch. No well wishes, no nothing. Part of me wants to call her on it and say that she can just not be involved in any of it. But that's bullshit. We don't do much together and this is one thing we all do to share a private moment of our lives. While most places get to go out and have lunches we are stuck answering phones all day. If she can't be arsed to be a team player then she shouldn't be here. Stupid cow. Posted by Diva at January 16, 2008 01:21 PM

I can see not wanting to participate (I hate birthdays), but at least have the decency to say so, rather than this passive-aggressive bullshit.
