Stupid Smart Officemate

Officemate has outsmarted me. And she knows it... the cunning witch. She has assigned me enormous tasks with impossible deadlines. On top of it she has given me a few tasks to do each day that MUST be done that day.

If I fail to complete these tasks Boss will jump all over me. We both know this. If I complete these tasks I have given her leeway to continue assigning INSANE tasks. I was here until eight o'clock last night. I think tonight will be a repeat performance. Why do I object? Because I am NOT allowed overtime. I'm going fucking crazy.

I approached Boss with the problem today, his suggestion, you need to explain to her (in the future not now) that these tasks do not have a reasonable deadline. My response, but she scares me. His reply, I know. But right now just do them. Perhaps in the future she will be more reasonable. Yeah fucking right.

Boss is scared of her too. She continually punks him in meetings. Once at a training seminar she called him a jackass. To his face. There were witnesses.

Boss and officemate turned red and took turns intermitantly pretending it didn't happen and/or that it was a joke. It happened, and it wasn't a joke. Boss, she hates your guts and everyone knows it.

Boss is a VP, Officemate is a part-timer. But everyone knows who really runs the show.

Perhaps I would get home before eight if I stopped blogging.
