I realize that I haven't made a post in quite some time and the main reason is because I have so much going on with...everything really. For me to talk out everything makes me feel like a broken record and at that point I start to annoy myself so I can only imagine how everyone else reading this feels. And yet...I'm probably going to do it anyway lol.
Ok, I understand that there are some people in this world who are perfectionists and ALWAYS have to be right and look like they know every possible piece of correct information there is to know in the world. What I don't understand is how these people can flip it on and off like a switch. A co-worker/friend of mine is one of these said people. She's very intelligent and knows more than me when it comes to certain areas. Yet she seems to think that it's perfectly ok to steamroll right over me a good 3 or 4 days a week. Taking my calls, handling my files, and making me look like an ass to the boss. Then she's back to friend mode like nothing happened. I know that I know what I'm doing and that she's just trying to maintain the polished, perfectionist image she has of herself but that doesn't stop me from wanting to confront her but I'm the furthest thing from confrontational so I don't really know what to do...
Yikes....this turned out to be a rant post didn't it? Well, I promise to make more of an effort to post something worth reading next time and not just more gibberish about dumb work stuff. :)
I hate people like that. Maybe you can tell her in a nice non-confrontational way like "I really appreciate your help, but I'd like it if you offered first before just jumping in"
