Sunday my parents left me to go to Germany for two weeks. The problem is I talk to my mom at least once a day if not 3 times. So her not being here for idle chitchat is killing me and she has only been incommunicado for 3 days. My co-worker left sick during the 5 minutes I was out of the office and that irked me, that is when I would call my mom… rant… feel better and be over it. But nope… I was irked he left AND irked I couldn’t talk to anyone about it. That is never good for my co-worker… the longer I stew over things the more spiteful I am about the unfairness of being left to do all the work and finding even more work that should have been done yesterday hidden on the shelf so I had to do that too. The reason co-worker thinks he can get away with this is because our manager is on vacation. Every time manager takes time off co-worker does something to piss me off. The crazy thing is co-worker has been here 6 years longer then I have yet somehow I am the one how has to pick up the slack when manager is gone, I am the one people go to if manager can’t be found, I am the one asked to take on extra work even if it’s co-worker’s assigned duties, I am the help desk when it comes to our database even though we (me and co-worker) in theory took the same training AND I have showed co-worker about 100 times over how it works. All of this lead to MANY phone calls to my mom… to keep me from banging my head against the tape library.
The moral of the story is… Mom can not leave the country when manager has a planned vacation.
