The Diva Slacker Drama Queen Who Cries Wolf

I have this co-worker who assists ONE person. She is always complaining that she is busy and has a ton of work to do and that her boss always keeps giving her project after project to do. Yes, she is so freaking busy that I am constantly catching her playing computer solitaire and hear her on her daily personal phone calls all day.

It's a small office so we don't have a receptionist. It's just her and I to support an office. I get all the work dumped on me because "she is busy" or "has her hands full" supporting Mr. CEO. This lady is far from busy and she has gotten away with this scam for years now. The doorbell rings and she only gets off her fat keister to answer it if it's an important client so she can greet them and turn on her nauseating charms.

So when I get sick and tired of it, I march off to the bathroom and hang in there a while so she can answer the door and the phones. I'm so tired of being asked to help her out with her work while I know she's not busy and everyone else thinks she is. She gets her way by raising a fuss and throwing hissy fits and her boss is terrified she's going to quit and her spoiled, pampered boss won't have anyone to go out and buy his lunch for him or dial his telephone for him.

Wow, is this woman's name Cindy? She is the doppelganger of the secretary at the Radio Station From Hell. She refused to file, type, or even answer phones most of the time.
This was a small business as well. One time the owner threw a fit because he had called numerous times without anyone picking up. Turned out I was actually on the air and unable to talk and announce the news at the same time!!
The owner became less upset after an extended "lunch meeting" with Miss Buttock...hers were as humongous as the woman you described, along with the sickening sweet charm given to certain clients.
The presence of this twinkie indicates the CEO is having sex with her. Get out as soon as you can!
PS The "buying lunch" thing is a sign that the CEO and Big Butt are an item, sort of like a girl having her boyfriends high school ring. And yes, our sleazy secretary was constantly asking our cheap geek owner if he'd "be up for lunch"...

I've been guilty of using "bathroom time" as a way to let others answer the phones when they are supposed to as well! Great minds think alike!

Tired of it all.(08/15/2007)
Nah, this lady and the boss are in their 60's. I doubt there's anything going on. It's that small an office, I'd probably know. She's just a freaking primadonna. Thanks for the vent. Time for a bathroom break. lol
