i would not have told her sorry....
So, I posted in stretch's "loud ass co-worker" thread about the suite next door to me's new office manager...she's acused me of "eavesdropping" on their conversations. In response I've blasted bad 90s music. So, now she's just about on the edge with me. I'm on good terms with her employees. Love them to death. She hardly talks me...only when she needs something from me.
So, she comes in...while I'm on the phone with one of my clients and says, "Exuse me?" I was like "Umm..I'm on the phone with a client can I come back to you?"
"No...this is important..."
So I step out of the office after hanging up the phone.
"Are you pregnant?" I looked confused because ummm..negative.
"I need to know they're going to spray for fleas soon."
"No." I turned around and headed back to the office. My music was low at this point, and not bad..it was some Tinted Windows (umm Taylor Hanson is still
hot!)
So, I go back to work with my music low. I hear her setting up an appointment for them to spray for fleas. She's like "How about 6 tomorrow?"
"That sounds good," responded the flea guy.
I couldn't not listen to that. My schedule is 9am-7pm and I'm not about to leave early on a 3 days weekend and have to make it up over the weekend (that's how it goes here...leave early make it up on the weekend).
I headed over there and asked the flea guy, "Do we need to be gone?"
The sweet janitor lady, who knows i stay late was sitting there with him looks concerned because she knows I stay late. "I stay late..like until 7. I can't leave early."
So, Office Manager says, "I'm giving you permission to leave early."
She's not my boss...so I kind of snapped, "You may want to e-mail my boss about that."
"No, you should e-mail her." It was pretty tense at that point. I sighed and responded, "It wasn't my decision to have them spray for fleas." and left.
Sarcasm police: We didn't have fleas until she showed up.
I turned up my music and closed my door a bit. A few minutes later she hollered at me, "Don't worry..you can stay late..they'll spray on Saturday."
I won the battle...but I felt like a major . So much so that a few minutes later I went over and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be a ."
Was that a move, was I standing up for myself, or what? I've never done anything like that before. I think about it but I never actually do it.
i would not have told her sorry....
Ash, you apoligized??? WTF???
I thought the holding back the "repo files" was far more ier!!!
That's what I was thinking. But she's just so mean. It would have made an even more tense situation more tense if I hadn't said anything.
I'm just too nice.
Oh yes. This winner: http://spurstalk.com/forums/showpost...postcount=2647
Oh, and i've also told her that she cusses too much. She says " , bull , and God Damnit..." all the time. Not a problem if it's just a few people..but I have clients coming in and out all the time that can hear her. And it's not how my office acts. It's her office.
the lady gave you all fleas!!
you must be catholic
haha. no. Methodist.
I had trouble following your story.
same thing. just a different color bathrobe.
You of all people had trouble following a story?
I'm telling you...it was all over the place. All I could do was picture you gyrating around like a pissed off black lady. Boobs flying everywhere...and some called you fat by assuming you might be preggo. I just couldn't settle in to this one, sorry. Thank god I didn't bring the popcorn.
I wasn't pissed about the pregnant comment at all. It was a fair question.
It was the fact that she assumed that it was alright to have them fumigate at 6 pm. She knows I'm the first one here and the last one to leave.
And then my real question was...should I have apologized for acting so y?
Now thats a post I can follow.

No need to apologize. Unless apologizing consists of boob shots in my PM box.
that's what happens when you feed es... they stick around and bring the fleas.
See now thats rude. I'll wait for my apology.
Argh! haha. You still aren't getting anything from me.
I don't even understand what you did that was y.
I wouldn't have apologized...you showed her how quickly you backtrack with that one...
See I'm not the only one confused.I don't even understand what you did that was y.
Darn it. I guess this thread failed on so many levels. Anyway. I was just trying to stand up for myself.I don't even understand what you did that was y.
She thought I was being a by saying that I had to be here later then them and asking her to e-mail my boss to see if I could leave early.
yeah, you had the Upper Hand. The hand is big...i would not have told her sorry....
You APOLOGIZED?!??!
wow. would be nice if you could take that apology back. the person is mean to you, is a prick to you, and you apologize.

And I'm seeing now that y'all don't think I was being a . That's what I wanted to know.
