Same Old Situation

I got in this morning, I haven't seen her for a while. As usual I greet her but she ignores me. I really can't be bothered but I will be the bigger person and greet her. One of the other ladies comes out of the restroom just as I walked in. She gives me the cold shoulder too and the receptionist comments, "Did you see how I ignored her?" Is she talking about me, who she just ignored?

Well the day is good so far, my colleague that made a complaint against me has greeted me. Shock horror! I am pleasantly surprised with this and I greet her back, for the first time meaning it and not just spluttering it out! I'm still wary of her because she has changed from totally ignoring me and mentally playing with my mind to being all nice and friendly! I don't know what her game is? What I do know is that I will definitely be staying out of her path. I think it is safer that way! Then she can't complain about what I didn't do to her!

Had an informal meeting with a senior member of my team. He is a real character. Nice guy but, not really your people's person. He babbled on about nothing and tried to act important. But what shocked me is that he has said that he is glad that my issues with the complaint girl is over and he hopes that I can start pulling my weight! He went on to say that the reason they hired me was because they know I can do the job, but I haven't been doing it! What? So what he is really saying is that I am crap at my job. Thanks for telling me! Obviously the probation period was just routine and they couldn't be bothered to find someone else. Or maybe he is out of the office to much to see what really goes on! I'm not the one that takes 2 hour lunches. I'm not the one that goes to visit clients without any paperwork! And I'm the one that does his work and mine! Oh yes, he said that if things got ugly he would have stuck in my corner! Fat chance?

Well he has spend his whole day sorting out an issue that one of his working son's had! I wonder who is not doing their job? But he is good at what he does, I'll give him that! He has brought in a good amount of business, but with less wine, he could probably double that! If only the bosses knew!
