Paranoia and Dimwits
Apparently my place of employment fosters all kinds of weirdos. Let's start with the paranoid one.
I was going about my business and tripped over a recycling bin that I'd borrowed from another cubicle like two weeks ago and forgot to return. So I picked it up and took it back over to where I got it from. I started to walk back to my desk when I hear someone say, "Do they think I'm crazy?" Uh, what? I looked up and there was one of my co-workers standing at the fax machine, let me state, for the record, I had no idea she was there. She continues to ask me if they think she's crazy and if they think she doesn't notice these things. "First they send Teresa by and then Dodi and now you", the you being me of course. My response is, "what ARE you talking about?" She said "they must think I'm crazy and don't notice." Sooo, I proceed to fill her in.. "well Dodi just went to take a smoke break, which she does on an hourly basis, and I'm returning a recycling bin that I borrowed." And then it goes back to "they must think I'm crazy" and "I'm not paranoid", then I finally told her "well I'm starting to think you are, you really should calm down Dodi and I are the last people they would ask to watch anyone." I hugged her and said, "just relax there's nothing going on so you should probably chill out." Seriously?!?! Dude what the heck was that about? I'm terrified for my own sanity at this point. First we have a lady go out of here on short term disability because she claims she had a mental breakdown because of this place, which honestly isn't all that hard to believe. And now I've got a lady walking around thinking she's being spied on by her co-workers. LORD HAVE MERCY! GET ME OUT OF HERE!
On to the Dimwit... another co-worker left on disability because of family stuff and such, and she wont be back until November, so they finally decided to hire a temp for her position. Lovely. Except they interviewed a lady that wasn't referred through an actual temp agency and she's got the brains of a gnat. The woman is so daft it's rediculous. Where do I start on this? She lied on her resume apparently, and according to my supervisor who was in the interview. She has proven she doesn't know how to use a computer or any of the Microsoft Office programs on it. She called me the other day and asked if I knew how to send a fax... who doesn't???? And then apparently she asked one of our deputy directors if she could show her how to use the copier! Oh my goodness. On top of all this stuff she doesn't know anyone's name. She has now been here two weeks and thinks our other deputy director is the director (by name only) and that the female deputy director's nickname is the name of one of our agents. It would make more sense if I included names but for safety sake, I wont. Anyhow, the woman is nuts and has no idea how to do her job. I can't take much more of this job or I may actually go nuts with the rest of them!
LOL I guess that the last job I applied for is very appropriate considering all this... it's an Administrative Assistant with the new mental facility replacing Dorthea Dix Hospital. Go figure! LOL.
