Day Seven - Nervous Nelly

There is a woman here at work who is so damn jittery it makes me go a little crazy when I have to deal with her. She's also very, very nice so I try to be nice back, but she's so all over the place that it makes me uptight and it's just a downward spiral from there. Here's an example.

She's a freelancer who moved here to be on-staff, but then they hired someone else to do her job. When she comes into the office, she kind of shifts around because of how overall disorganized this company is (no wonder they don't make any money!). She just asked me to show her how to get on the server (again... people can't seem to remember). So she has an internet browser open, and starts clicking all over the place. I had to tell her to slow down so that I could help her. And she still wasn't getting it right. She ultimately decided to go and work on another computer while the rightful owner of that computer is at lunch. This woman also used my computer on Friday, when I wasn't here, which I could care less about. What I do care about is that she left it running all weekend. We work in an area of Vermont that looses power often, especially when it's windy, and I like to shut my computer down overnight and on the weekends. This woman, however, also left the water running in her utility sink on Friday night for a couple of hours, and their entire house has severe water damage.

I know I get flitty and overwhelmed and jittery, but by god, I'm glad I can keep ahold of myself better than that!


ALSO. I hope you all did your civic duty and democratic right and got out to vote today! No bitching about the results if you didn't!
