Adventure in Permanent Temping


Crazy Cat Woman is really starting to get me down. She's starting to get Chris down too because he sure is tired of hearing about her and her crazy cat loving ways.

So here we go, reasons P is driving me crazy:

- The first day I started working here she handed me an Avon catalog. Every day since then she asks me if I had a chance to look at it. "Oh I left it at home", I say because I'm nice and can't tell her that if I wanted low quality tacky trash I'd go down to the dollar store and pay a lot less for it. "Oh that's okay," she whispers, because that's what she does, she whispers...and then she gives me another one. I currently have 7 Avon catalogs in the floor of my car.


-She likes Christmas almost as much as she likes cats. Yesterday she spent her entire 4 hour shift outfitting our office for Christmas. She stores the decorations in huge boxes under her desk all year long waiting with baited breath for the day she can finally pull them all out and annoy the ovaries out of us. She's also a big fan of the "All Christmas, All the Time" radio station, which she enjoys playing way too loudly so that everyone can take pleasure in the latest festive pap from the American Idol gang.


-She communicates with post-it notes. Even when I'm sitting at my computer she'll write me a note and stick it on the edge of my desk. I hate that.
-Did I mention P's a whisperer? Also she's hard of hearing. Maybe she's so afraid of being a loud-talker that she over compensates. H says that she's not so much deaf as she has selective hearing so that she won't have to work as much.


P stands by her desk decking the halls with cheap plastic garland. Her phone rings.
Marissa: P, your phone is ringing.
P: silence
Marissa: P! Your Phone is ringing!
P: humming carols
Marissa: walks over to P Your phone is ringing!
P: You can answer it if you want.
Marissa: But you're standing ri...
P: You know, you're allowed to answer my phone Marissa.
Marissa: You're standing right next to it!
the phone stops ringing

argh. My supervisor says it best..."P just needs to put that crack pipe down and walk away."
