I get along with people. I work relatively quietly. I don&#8217;t pull stupid office pranks*. I don&#8217;t make a mess. I say &#8220;good morning&#8221; and &#8220;have a nice day&#8221; when I arrive and leave work. I&#8217;m polite. I hold open doors. I say &#8220;please&#8221; and &#8220;thank you&#8221;. I apologize if I accidentally interrupt someone, I&#8217;m always courteous to my supervisor when I go to him for more work to do. So imagine my surprise when I realize that someone takes advantage of my willingness to be nice and helpful. And imagine how pissed off that could make me, especially when I&#8217;m already saddled with redoing a week&#8217;s worth of work.<\/p>\n<p>U for Useless User and M for me (or Michelle)<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>U: Michelle! I need some help and [name of supervisor #1] or [name of supervisor #2 &#8211; who&#8217;s not really my supervisor, but still counts] said that you could help me.<br \/>M: Alright, what is it?<br \/>U: [puts paper down onto tape, scribbled numbers] I need you to make me a graph with these figures.<br \/>M: &#8230; What kind of graph?<br \/>U: I just need a graph.<br \/>M: &#8230; Erm&#8230; Okay&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>So I <em>did<\/em> the graphs. Both of them. I should have just done a pie\/circle graph of something, instead of a line graph (which is what was actually wanted, but he never specified this). And then after giving him the print out of the graphs, he asked me to email them to him (sure whatever, I did that).<\/p>\n<p>Then I go into my supervisor&#8217;s office to talk to him about some of the work I&#8217;m doing. I mention doing the graphs for U and <em>then<\/em> I find out out that he and supervisor #2<em><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"> never okayed<\/span><\/strong><\/em> for U to go and ask me to do something. Never, ever, ever. Colour me surprised <em>and<\/em> slightly livid at the thought that someone did that to me. Granted, it did not take me long at all to do the graphs (at most it was 10 minutes out of my day). Then my supervisor told me that from <em>now on<\/em> if anyone (besides him, of course) tells me to do something, I should refer them directly to him and have them tell him to tell me to do whatever it is that they want to do. I said okay, I was <em>totally<\/em> fine with that.<\/p>\n<p>Still pissed off that someone at work used me like that. And it wasn&#8217;t as if it was <em>difficult<\/em> work either, since Excel just automatically generates the graphs anyways. So I don&#8217;t see how it was to someone&#8217;s advantage to lie to me like that.<\/p>\n<p>Jerkface.<\/p>\n<p><small>* I have two coworkers, one who has a cubicle in the same room as me and the other one is just always there, who keep on pulling immature office pranks. Most commonly, I get my computer mouse unplugged. Or a piece of tape over the bottom of the mouse so it doesn&#8217;t work.<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I feel like I&#8217;m a fairly easy going person at work.
