Do you work with someone who makes your job much easier to do?

I do. If there's a problem no matter how big or how small, she not only has an answer for it, but she's always happy to help!

women are awesome
Allelse · 36-40, M
@butterflymind1 No, that is not true. Because not all women are awesome, infact, most women I've worked with have been batshit crazy control freaks. One was Scottish, she hated Australia but didn't want to go to back to Scotland, she decided to stop taking all her pills. Pills like her anti-depressants. She went a little off the rails. CONSTANT mood swings. Two other women of them were just very volatile. You had to pick your moments or they'd rip your head off. One of them was obsessed with the ancient Greeks, she got me fired because I told her I thought the archeological presumption of Minoan culture was based on bugger all. That the archeologists don't have a fucking clue, and that the naked chick holding snakes could have been made by an ancient Minoan pornographer. Yep. That was the end of me. Another was JUST LOUD!!!! And also angry, middle aged and angry, and loud. She was always telling me about her son who came back from Afghanistan was a bit loopy, but that it was somehow the daughter in law's fault. Yep, she'd bark my ear off telling me allllllllllll about her grandchildren, and about how she'd cook them really elaborate food, even though they didn't like it; then she'd get angry when they didn't like it and she'd scream at them to shut up and eat it. Another was a large Maori woman, another was an Islander woman. Both big, both enormous, both angry. Both would STORM around the office. One screamed "PUSSIES!!!" at me and this other fellow when we swapped desks because we couldn't remember whose chair was who. Yep. The other one. The Islander. Well the cops turned up at the office, I asked why and she went on a long winded, very angry rant about how I was not on the right departmental level to know why the police were in the building. That I didn't need to know. Yep. And those are just some of the women I can name remember without trying. Ohhhh!! There's another one. One more recent!! This psycho little Indian woman, she's like a dwarf. She STORMS around the office glaring at everybody. She came into my area, was doing something I asked if she needed help, she snarled and said no. As she walked past my desk my umbrella fell over, she trod on it, turned and then kicked it back at me. Yep!! So yeah. The 'Women are awesome thing" ? Nope. Not true. People are people. Some are good, some are not.
@Allelse O.O

@butterflymind1 And yes there have been a few strange men, like the mad South African. The Ex-Commando guy, he was a looney. Oh!! That's right. That reminds me of another one I worked with. REAL passive aggressive type. She refused to believed I'd done a HUGE amount of work, but then had a go at me for being a few minutes late back from lunch. Just wish I could remember her name. Glenda I think. But yeah there have been guys too. Like the guy who didn't like being asked questions, even though I'd just started there and he was supposed to train me. Oh! And then there was the psycho librarian who believed she was my boss, when she wasn't. She actually wasn't but just because she'd been there longer than me she liked to think she was in charge. Rosenthorne that was her last name. She was from Zimbabwe originally, a white African. Both then all white Africans I've ever met have been off their rockers.

@Allelse You write great comedy. I have stories like this and at the time it really doesn't seem funny but later on I always have a great laugh.

@Mguinm Thanks!! Most people find my humor TERRIBLY OFFENSIVE!! And oh my god!! How immoral!! And how can you think like that!! And so on and so forth. And yeah if you look back on the lunatics you encounter in everyday life, or the situations you get into in everyday life they are funny. Like last week when I was trying to get onto the path beside this major highway, because it was the fastest way home and I ended up in some stadium or oval or something; with nothing but a brick wall between me and the road I was trying to read. Well the first thing I did was try and climb a tree, but when a big fellow like me and standing 6 foot and dressed like an officer worker, tree climbing doesn't come easy. So then I wandered down abit further and I came to a spot where the brick wall sort of ended, and a chain link fence began. There was a small gap and I thought ahah!! I've done it now. But I'm wide these days to fit through the gap so that was no good. Also I'd had Mcdonalds earlier that day for lunch. Then I spotted something odd. There was a tire!! A big tire!! Maybe not a truck tire but bigger then a cars tire. It had been there a while because it had soil and plants growing out of it, it was kind of half buried. Well!! I'd made it this far. So I wrenched the tire up out of the ground and slammed it against the wall. I looked for a moment worrying it might crumble under me but I thought to hell with it. So I put my foot on the top of the tire boosted myself up so I was now looking over the wall, and then heaved my self up onto the top of the wall. Now, from the top it didn't look too far down. There was a footpath, there were cars driving bay. Well, not too much of a drop, so while standing I just jumped!!........CRASH!!! It was like someone took a sledgehammer to the bottom of my feet!! Now I'm about 6 foot tall, and so was the wall on the other side. Now to anyone driving by, they'd have seen a man in corporate attire bag on his back come stepping off a brick wall with a crash, covered in dirt, leaves and termites. Yes termites!! There was a small nest of the buggers in the dirt on the inside of the tire and some got on me.
