In the spirit of the first date horror campfire, I'm doing an idiot coworker campfire.
When I have a bad experience with a store, I like to go on consumer sites and read about people who got it worse than I did. When I hate a book or movie, I feel very relieved when someone else does, too. No one likes to be alone.
And so I appeal to you now to halp me, campers. For the next four weeks, I will be covering volunteer shifts for a woman who "loves working here" but doesn't actually do so very much. (Maybe there's a connection?) In the six months I've been volunteering, or 24 weeks, I estimate she's been out 16 of those. She can't even be bothered to help with the prayer request emails that you can sign into from anywhere in the country. Plus it's been six weeks since the new phone extension got added for our online volunteers, and she still has no clue how to use it.
Not only does no one say anything, but the coordinator doesn't even seem to notice.
I know it could be worse. I've had worse, many times. And I've also, quite recently even, read The Devil Wears Prada. I should be immune. But my mind is, just now, stuck in a rut of loathing how she can get the same recognition as the rest of us for doing a quarter of the work and doing it half-assed.
Tell me about your coworkers so I can get out of that rut until next week when I'm working her shift again.
For your time, a picture of a pretty horsie:
