How to deal with miserable people?

[NoahsMommy]

What a timely thread!!

I work with an Amy too!!! NOTHING that comes out of her mouth is positive...only negative and only complaints. She doesn't do her job (I've only been there this week and already I can see she's lazy as heck!!) and responds to me (and others) in such a rude manner, I want to slap her!! She's in her 40s, old enough to know how to treat other people.

I do what Karen does. Ignore her and don't allow her to mess up my day.

I've also encountered other "Amys" in a few of the nursing departments...I tend to be OVERLY sweet when I deal with them and they tend to lose thier thunder. They seem confused that I"m being so nice and helpful.

Hope it gets better for you. ((hugs))

YOU HAVE TO MAINTAIN AN UP ATTITUDE AROUND THESE PEOPLE, NO MATTER WHAT!-

One of the doctors in the area has a really poopy attitude.

I hold the door open for everyone, except this woman, She is a stunning gal-but she always looks ticked off!

One day I stopped and held the door open for her. We made eye contact and she said, "Thanks!" I almost pooped. A few days later she asked me a question.

Now when she walks by my office she actually looks in and I get the feeling we may have a conversation of more than two sentences.


But I still wonder if she'll say something like, "Wanna a little FIRE, Scarecrow?"
