Does everyone have a co-worker like this???

So today was my Friday--three days off--I'm looking forward to that. I have a co-worker that absolutely drives my batty. She's one of these people that run 90 to nothing but get NOTHING done. She works hard at getting out of work instead of just getting in there, getting it done, and being done with it. So I've had to work with her everyday this week and I was at my wits end come today. To top it off, she's been out of power since last Monday (Jan 26th) evening, which I feel really bad about! But, she just went on and on about how she was going to be the last person to get her power back, it was always like this, it was never gonna change, etc.... I wanted to shake her. She's been leaving early everyday this week to check on things at home before it gets dark, so I'm thinking she'll do that again today, NO, she stayed the full 10 hours. Even after we practically begged her to leave!!! I thought the Pharmacist was gonna go postal on her a couple of times. I was so glad to get away from her. Then I'm driving home and my cell phone rings--wait--I know what you're thinking........no it's not her, it's Doyle. He never calls me, that's probably my biggest complaint about him (what's wrong with calling just to chat?). He asked me out for supper, how sweet!!! We went to the little Mexican place here in town and enjoyed a nice meal, just the two of us. Between the 30 minute drive and supper out I think I have gotten Carolyn out of my system, it was actually therapeutic for me to rant on this topic. Course I just checked the schedule for next week and you guessed it, I work with her 3 out of the 4 days--I hope her electric is back on before Monday!!!!

I totally have a co-worker like that!!! Actually I have a couple of co-workers like that. One that is bi-polar so one minute she is bouncing off the walls and won't shut up and the next minute she is depressed and can't do anything. And multi-task?? NO! She absolutely cannot multi-task without going balistic. Then I have another co-worker who constantly complains about how much work she has to do, but just putzes all day. Drives me insane! I totaly understand you pain sistah!!!!! :)
