Coworkers!

Oh my yes. Co-workers can drive you nuts some time.

I'd say ask your big boss about combining your duties. It can't hurt to ask.

I work in an office and have a co-worker who doesn't like staples that are not completely flat. He sits in his office with a hammer and pounds staples flat on his documents.

I see that in my crew too... One guy we have is super lazy, get others to do his work, sits and points "get this for me, get that for me, throw this away for me" and does stuff like that all day, encourages the people he works with to not work so hard.. The oldest guy on the crew works circles around him and everybody else. So the older guy is the target of a lot of put downs and criticizem.. That lazy so and so has turned the whole crew against the older hard working guy and it has made me SO mad! It is just SO obvious what the lazy guy is doing and I feel so sorry for the older guy and how he is being treated.

The time is coming that someone needs to rat him out because it is ruining our crew.

Work is such a crazy, artificial atmosphere! It makes you deal with people that you would normally not have any contact with and even avidly avoid in some cases. But I have learned a lot of people skills from the job I currently have and it showed me that I can be a bit of a pain as well. Thought I was perfect and that the company should revolve around me until something that my supervisor said made me realize I was behaving like a brat.

Try to look at the lessons you can learn, count your money when you get paid and don't let it interfere with what's really important!

Go for the promotion - the worse thing he can say is no. But it might plant a seed and next time he will say YeS!

Too bad you missed the "bitch slap a co-worker day" a couple of weeks ago. Eileen (momcat) told me about it. Unfortunately, I would've loved a "bitch slap a customer day".
