How Big-Ass drove me up the Wall Part 2

this is yet another long continuation of that fateful day...from the previous blog.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After a nightmarish start to Mon, you can only hope the week will just getting.. but if you have read my last blog, I said:" boy was I wrong!"

On a bright early tues morning, as I enter my office and sit down on my table, Big-Ass gave me a BRIGHT LOUD GOOD MORNING greeting to me.. in my growl i just say good morning. As I out my bag down and was just about to enter my password to logon to my laptop, I had her stupid face infront of me again. WHAT THE F***, don't anyone give time to login and let you settle down!?!??

Irritating Point 1
Big-Ass: I got this image (she was referring to a slide on powerpoint) which these issues, can you give me spreadsheet?
Me: This is the spreadsheet.
Big-Ass: No no, this is just an image, I want the spreadsheet so that I can maintain the list
Me: This is the spreadsheet. The spreadsheet is in the powerpoint
Big-Ass: Yap I want the spreadsheet to consolidate
Me: *eye roll and really pissed* You don't know Microsoft Office do you? I just walk off
Big-Ass: huh?
Me: I do not maintain a separate spreadsheet, I maintain it within powerpoint itself.If you want the list, you get this list. Look, I just sat down, can you just let me settle down 1st and I will tok to you 15mins later or something
Big-Ass: Ok ok.

Irritated Factor - Isn't there an unwritten rule that you should always let someone settle down.. Big-Ass didn't even give me a chance to login and expect me to tell her everything!?!!? Yes you are paid to do a job and this area only but harrow I have soo many other stuff to do, this is only like 10% of what I have to do.

Irritating Point 2
Big-Ass: Do you know where I can get stapler? I looked in stationery cupboard, I can't seem to find any.
Me (in the most possible rudest voice without shouting): If it is not in there, means there isn't anymore
Big-Ass: YOu know where I can find
Me: I dunno, if you see any stapler lying around, you can use it.

by now, my neighbour which is crouching tiger can see very obviously I am very pissed off, she kindly tell Big-Ass she got stapler and she can use hers.

Obviously from this point on, anythign that comes out of Bigg-Ass' mouth, was not going to get an pleasant response from me since I already have a bad start.The ultimate one was when I had to get updates from Big-Ass to yet another meeting pack. This is the one where she will be running the meeting call. By then I was thinking of ways to see how I can just give it all to her to do it so that I can hv NO interaction with her at all! There I was, asking my Tao-K about the process going forward. When my Tao-K said I had to continue doing it my face kinda changed and my Tao-K ask me what's the problem. I could only response that I am very scare of her so much so I don't dare to sit at my table as she will hog me non-stop that I can't do anything else.I added that Big-Ass very pushy even when I tell her I am not free. YOu know how it is, once flood gates open, everything just flows.. The consolidation I get out of it is, if anyone tries to give me some crap I can always direct to my Tao-K to let her decide if that is a huge priority!

The final straw for me when I really show my displeasure was when I had to wait from 2pm till 6+ for Big-Ass' update for the meeting pack. Big-Ass say I need to speak to PJ to get the updates etc etc.When I thought I cld go home early that day but end up NO.....Big-Ass only gave me the updates at 6+ close to 7pm. Then I ask Tao-K, does this meeting pack have to send out by today? Which Tao-K look at the time and gave some thought and said yap it has but if I have to leave, I could teach Big-Ass how to update it. I said, never mind I would just wait. I figured by the time I teach Big-Ass how to do it, me doing it is probably faster. But what tick me off was when after Big-Ass gave me her updates in her shit handwriting, she quickly pack up and left without even checking the final pack. I was really pissed, why is it that I have to be the one working late becoz you idiot didn't do it early? This is 1st time that I really showed my displeasure very openly. I have been tolerating this for too and even my own Tao-K don't do this to me!
