Caution!! This post contains violence and strong language and isn't suitable for children under 18!!! LOL Well maybe it's not that bad but I'm in a crappy mood and I need to vent :(

I really really like my job.....I enjoy most everyone I work with too. But notice how I said MOST EVERYONE. There is a person who I cannot stand. She's evil incarnate. And no one really likes her except the doctors because she kisses their asses of course. They are her bosses so she has to be nice to them. But the rest of us she is a total bitch to.

For the purposes of this story we'll just refer to her as Mega Bitch. And that's me being nice. I called her something much worse last night when I was talking to Kyle about her and he was shocked at the words coming out of my mouth ;)

Anyways Mega Bitch is always walking around the place like she's in charge of everything. But she's not. She's not even a nurse! She's a secretary who wears scrubs. And she acts like she knows more about our jobs than we do.

And she is always asking us to do things like file charts and other things that we don't have time to do. But if you tell her no, she whines that no one helps her out. And says that we are all selfish and poor workers who would rather stand around and gossip than help her.

But it is not our job to help her with the clerical stuff. And maybe if she was nicer we would do it out of a sense of friendship. But when someone treats you like a piece of shit they scraped off their shoe, it does NOT make me want to help them. And since I am not obligated to help her, I don't do it. Does that make me a bad person? If it does oh well.

Yesterday she asked me to take her garbage out for her. That is most definitely NOT my job. We have a janitor service for that. But she said someone put old food in her trash and she knew it was me, so I had to take it out. It wasn't me!! Why would I put old food in her trash?? But she got into it with me and said I was a bitch :(

I responded to her that I wasn't the bitch in the office, it was her. And I told her that I hoped she choked on the stench in her trash can and I was tempted to dump it over her head. And then she accused me of eating her pickles! What?! I had no idea where that even came from but she said I ate her entire supersize jar of pickles and also stole her tampons. LOL!

Sometimes I just hate people and want to kick them in the shins. Like her for example! A fight about garbage turned into her saying I was a pickle and a tampon thief. For the record I never ate her stupid pickles or stole her tampons. But now I want to do both things just to piss her off.

Normally I am a very easygoing person. I try to get along with everyone and not step on toes or upset anyone. But there are some people that it is actually painful to be nice to. And whenever I see Mega Bitch I feel sick inside. It is like she is filled with such hate and disgust for everyone around her that it leaks out and poisons the entire office.......when she walks in the place she immediately complains about something.

Like how horrible her evening or weekend was. Or how someone moved her files or stole her pens. Or how much she dislikes everyone. Or how people steal her pickles and tampons! It is ALWAYS something. Something negative and annoying. She is never positive or happy. She has a dark cloud over her head and I hate the fact that she affects me and makes me feel the same way.

When I am around her I get crabby and want to pull her hair. And that is NOT how I really am. I don't think I'm a mean or terrible person. But she brings out the worst of me. And when I go home sometimes I am in a bad mood because of her and I can't seem to let it go........I don't want that to keep happening. I wish she would quit. She keeps saying she wants to quit but so far she is still there spreading her negativity.......how miserable she must be to make everyone else feel the same.

But lately I have been grumpy and not feeling well on top of it......and she just seems to send me over the edge. It's Saturday and I am not working and I'm still thinking about her! And letting her bother me :( I answered the question at Mr_Box's post about the voodoo doll......and I said I didn't want to hurt anyone right now. But I was feeling calmer then when I wrote that and now I'm mad again. So maybe I wouldn't mind getting a Mega Bitch voodoo doll? LOL!

No......I wouldn't really want to do that. I don't actually want to HURT her. She is hurting enough already because that is apparent in how she treats everyone else. But I just want her to stop hurting me. Because I didn't mess up her garbage or eat her pickles or steal her Tampax.

*cries*

I need chocolate. Where is the magic cupcake fairy when I need her? LOL

    My poor sweetie :-( I know how much this is bothering you and it would bother me too. It sucks when you have to deal with crappy people at work. Even if you love everyone else, it's amazing how one bad person can ruin your whole outlook. But you're right when you say she's miserable inside because a happy person wouldn't act like that. It's just too bad she chooses to take out her misery on other people.

    Want me to make you cupcakes? I'm not sure how good they'll be but I can try! :-)

    Love you.....

    Nat, that's awful! ((hugs))

    Why would anyone be mean to you? You're one of the nicest people around! She needs to go elsewhere, for her own happiness and for that of those around her. I'm sure it sucks to be stuck in a job she hates, but that's no reason to take it out on everyone around her. :(

    (The idea of a pickle-gobbling tampon thief did make me laugh a little...talk about PMS cravings! :-D)

    I'd FedEx cupcakes to you, but I don't think they'd be any good by the time they got there. I hope you don't have to deal with MB much longer!

    I hate people like Mega Bitch too. They're soul suckers. They drain all your energy just by being around you. 

    I can't believe she accused you of stealing pickles and tampons. I'm sorry, but I had to laugh about that too. 

    It's just too funny. But I can see how it wouldn't be funny if it were happening to me.

    Although I don't really like pickles that much and I have no need for tampons. So if someone accused me of that it still would be funny to me....

    Cheer up, Natty. Don't let her ruin your weekend. And I like M-M&I's idea to wrap up some pickles in a tampon box for her. That's a good one.
  • Lucytorial said on Feb 23, 2008....
    Okay first things first, I'll come around and slap her silly, then buy her a jar of pickles extra tart and acidic ones to shut her lemon face up then say "Super bitch come here, yeh you...heres your tampons I bought you pack of super sized tampons to fit your whole!"

    Nahh just kidding but what a cow!  Hang in there, nice always wins the day and you are nice..
  • uniquely-ironic said on Feb 23, 2008....
    Do you have a work station? (like a desk)  I had a mean spiteful bitch for a boss once and a coworker I worked with always handled her very well.  I finally cornered her and asked her how she put up with the bitch.  This is what she told me.
     
    She took a post it note, drew a circle on it, put it where she could reach it easily and every time the bitch ticked her off she would push the center of the circle. 
     
    I was disappointed until she told me what the circle stood for.  It was to release the trap door on the floor that dropped the bitch into a pit of hungry allegators.  Of course it was all imaginary, but I ended up with a push button too.
     
    Hope this helps
  • Mamie said on Feb 23, 2008....
    soul suckers do suck! But think about it and how she has this weird kind of power over you and your moods...and beginning now stop giving her the permissionand the power to impact you ever again! Here, create a list of five or so non commital statements that will allow you in interact with her but do not keep accepting the onkey on her back. How dare she drop that crap on our doorstep. Like if she is bitching about somehting that she always complains about, acknowledge that she has mentioned this at least ten times.
     
    Ask her what solutions she had thought up to alleviate the trouble...and when she goes on the offensive and is insulting, just ask her to repeat herself that you did not understand...only an idiot would keep on repeating the studipity over and over again...and she will...
     
    Dark people cannot stand people who bring light and brightness to their day and their jobs...don't you let her make you dark...shine that lght on her and she will wither like the wicked witch of the west! good luck!!

    paper, thank you! All of those things are essential happy makers.....LOL

    Kyle, I enjoyed the cookies you made even if they were a little burnt! I know they weren't cupcakes, but chocolate chip cookies work just as good! Love you too....

    hottips, I guess we do have to put up with alot stuff sometimes!

    me-my, I love your idea!! Tampon pickles! Mean people do suck!

    Infernal, you're so sweet :) Thank you! I agree that she needs to go somewhere else b/c she's obviously not happy where she is. And I'm tired of her making everyone else feel icky too :( Thanks for the offer of cupcakes too, even if it's not possible :) {{{hugs}}}

    Jack, soul suckers!! That is exactly what she is. It is funny that she accused me of stealing stupid things like tampons and pickles! I do like pickles but I didn't eat hers. I feel better now though. I think it helped to write it down and complain about it ;)

    Lucy, you are so funny! I need you to come to work w/me and tell her to shove her superplus tampons up her ass instead ;) LOL!

    unique, I don't have a desk....but I do have a locker. I could put a post it note button on my locker! I like that idea b/c it's really funny....LOL!

    mamie, I was trying so hard not to let her affect me. I really was! But I think b/c I've been feeling kind of icky lately, my strengths were weakened. And then she just slipped in there and made me more miserable! :( But I liked your advice to make her repeat her stupidity over and over and tell her I'd heard it before!

    Lucy (again!) sounds like your hubby drives you crazy sometimes huh? LOL!

    If ya really wanna be nice.... go to a hunting and fishing store, buy a small bottle of pure skunk urine and no matter the weather, put the pointed end into the window edging and just squeeze.  Then if windows open, have fun.  Skunk piss will go away over time, except in carpet and the insides of doors, and any time its damp...even years later...of course I am not telling you to do this, its just something I once heard the fellas talking about as a fashionable, long lasting reminder, not to be such a skunk.  About a Ten Dollar bill from what I heard. H   ell to use the heater I'd imagine...hehe

  • GrapeKoolaid said on Feb 24, 2008....
    Having people you find disagreeable at work is doubly taxing because you can't just walk away from them.  It's not like you really have a choice in the matter, unless you're in real good with the person who makes the schedule. 

    I feel for ya nursie, I really do.  My initial reaction for you story was very similar to MM&I's, but I was thinking that you should steal all her tampons and put them in the pickle jar.  :) 
  • dyingman said on Feb 24, 2008....
    Suggest she up her dose of fluoxetine / bupropion.  Stat.
    Her funk is stinking up the place.

    Seriously, rather than call her names, tell her to increase her dosage of anti-depressant, if she tells you she's not on one, you may want to share a list of symptoms of clinical depression.  She nails most of em in your description.

    Angry, hostile, never happy....   sadness isn't really the key to depression.  The name is misleading. 



  • minniemouse said on Feb 24, 2008....

    Buy a jar of pickles and a box of tampax and wrap them up with the help wanted ads.....add a note saying "Good luck in your next job".....lol....

    People like her whine and complain to get attention...they boss others around to feel important to make up for the fact they are not.  Maybe she wanted to be a nurse and couldn't cut it so she is jealous of you and the other nurses.  She tries to bring you to her level by getting you to do jobs that clearly are not yours.....just a thought...doesn't make it any easier to deal with though....

    I would say ignore her...but I know that I couldn't do that....I would feel the same as you...hard to let those kind of people not bother you.....all I have to offer is {{{{hugs}}}}  Minnie

  • fearing said on Feb 24, 2008....
    Nat, I'm sorry that woman is so mean.  How horrible!  I'm glad you stand up for yourself.    She probably is like that because she sees herself the way she treats others.  Can you imagine being that unhappy all the time?  
  • lfbno7 said on Feb 24, 2008....
    I ate the pickles.
  • botoni said on Feb 24, 2008....
    NurseHotStuff! She is the kind of person who turns the entire work experience into a pickle jar situation. I d be awfully tempted to try the "Kill with kindness" routine on her. It just might rattle her chain enough to make her see what she is doing. eg....If she orders you to take out her garbage pick it up as if you re going to take it and say "Oh please let me do that for you. Anytime you have garbage you want taken out just call me. I love to do things for you and I know you cannot possibly manage all of your responsibilities on your own. I ll happily do this for you." Then slam the garbage can back down and snarl. Maybe she ll get the point.
  • soleme said on Feb 24, 2008....

    Sometimes you just have to treat people the way they treat you!

     I'm glad you stood up for yourself, you showed her that you are not one to take any crap from her or anyone.  I'm sure she will end up with the upmost respect for you or just afraid of you!

    You also set an example for the other nurses, hopefully they follow and also standup for themselves and this will assist her in submitting her resignation sooner than she expects . 

    You Go Girl!

  • nursecutie said on Feb 24, 2008....

    twyla, does the Playskool hammer have to be imaginary? LOL!

    Daily, I don't think she's getting it on with the doctors, but I think she'd like to be! At least one of them....I like the idea of putting a can of tuna in her drawer! Or I could put it in her trash can UNDER the plastic bag so she can't see where the smell is coming from! oooh! LOL!

    hottips, LOL! Skunk pee?? Do I squirt that in her car window? Hmmm......my luck I would spill it on myself though! LOL! My cat peed in my car once and that smell NEVER went away either. Eww!

    grapey, I haven't seen you in forever! Hi! It is horrible when you have to work w/someone awful because you HAVE to put up with them somehow :( I like the tampons in the pickle jar idea! LOL!

    dyingman, exactly my thoughts!! I think she is clinically depressed and needs some Prozac! She is just miserable all the time.....maybe I should leave some depression brochures on her desk w/a note that says, look into this!

    Minnie, you might be right that she wishes she'd been a nurse too. She does seem more interested in our jobs than her own. I try to ignore her most of the time, but when she accuses me of stupid things, I just want to smack her! LOL

    fearing, I definitely can't imagine being that unhappy always. I think she needs some serious help. But since she's so mean to everyone, I don't think she'd listen to anyone if they seriously tried to talk to her about her behavior.

    Lf, you ate the pickles?? Aha! I'm telling her that. Did you take her tampons too? If you did what are you doing with them?? LOL!

    botoni, I can try to kill her w/kindness but that's going to be hard! ugh! But I like the plan of slamming her garbage can down and snarling! LOL!

    soleme, thank you! I am working on being more assertive when people treat me wrongly. And this was a good example of me sticking up for myself and not letting people walk all over me! I hope it makes her lay off and maybe want to quit sooner!

     

  • Twylarants said on Feb 24, 2008....
    Oh man, wouldn't it be funny if we could say to every Mega B in our lives,

    "Hang on, you said something stupid...just let me get my Playskool hammer out of my Playskool tool belt...this'll only take a second...

                     BONK!          BONKBONKBONKBONK              BONK!

    .... there now, I just knocked the stupid out of you, doesn't that feel better? And as a warning to everyone you meet from now on, here's an "I AM STUPID" sign on a lanyard to wear around your neck. Okay? Off ya go now...buh bye..."
  • nursecutie said on Feb 24, 2008....
    twyla, I love that idea!! LOL! You are too funny :) Ooh! Wouldn't it be funny if I taped a sign on her back that said 'I'm stupid' and let her walk around like that?!
  • Twylarants said on Feb 24, 2008....
    She's a Mega Bitch, therefore rates a much larger warning sign than the average Bitch.   How about this:

                                              "Stay back 30 feet.
                                              I am oozing stupidity
                                               and you don't want
                                                 to get stuck in it."

    she needs a big back to carry that around, though.
                                                                                                                                                                                    

  • Jenna said on Feb 24, 2008....

     

    Nursecutie......I am sorry you have that work stress....especially when you love your job so much.  I have to say I am in agreement with Mamie and Botoni.....with Mamie, you have to take back the control.  Right now you are giving her power she does not deserve (and in reality does not have unless you let her.) .  I also subscribe to the belief that we teach people how to treat us. 

    Botoni said....kill her with kindness.  I agree.  I have found that nasty,mean people cannot stand that tactic.  They get so frustrated they tend to self destruct.  By killing her with kindness takes her power away. 

    And to the point of teaching people how we want to be treated.....well you can kindly state your point...( You are mistaken, I did not eat your pickles and in the future I would appreciate you not accusing me of such things.)  Said kindly, simply lets her know you are not going to buy into her distorted version of the world.....

    I know emotions get the best of us sometimes....and if in the end you want to just kick her ass.....well...lol...I am with ya!

  • nursecutie said on Feb 24, 2008....

    twyla, I like your sign idea! But she would need a big back......LOL! Friday I just wanted to put on a sign on her back that said KICK ME! ;)

    Jenna, I will try and be stronger and not let her affect me so much. Most of the time I do ok with that. I can ignore her mostly and go about my business. But sometimes all that ignoring builds up and you just want to explode!

  • uniquely-ironic said on Feb 24, 2008....
    I thought about this horrible person some more after I responded to your blog.  People like this really bring out the "not so nice" in me.  I actually fantasized about sending her a mega box of super plus tampons with a nasty note apologizing that there wasn't nearly enough tampons in the box to soak up her bitchiness.
     
    *sigh*
     
    You're a much nicer person than I am nurse.  Thank goodness I don't work with her.

He always was late, sometimes still had a liquor breath and always a sad story. Now he's out off my team, but still in the office. I hope they smell it there.
    Always commenting on other peoples work but never getting it wright himself, not even the simplest job.
    I will send him a jar full of pickled tampons, care of all of the people these types try to walk over.

  • husbandhater said on Feb 25, 2008....

    1st if she's not a nurse I wouldn't take her shit. I'd go to a higher up and complain about her additude,and her office candor as calling you a bitch for not doing something that you are NOT suppose to do is so INAPPROPRIATE and NOT PROFESSIONAL. She's taking you away from your job to do hers and other NONSENSE! WTF?

    I'm glad you told her off Natty. But get another Nurse to back you up and go complain and whine like she does,do this to a higher up. Perhaps they'll talk to her and get her to change her additude. If a patient codes,or comes in with a reaction to a medicine prescribed to them she's not going to do your job so why should you guys be doing clerical work for her? And wait you guys are in Cally right which means she commands a pretty nice Salary to sit her obnoxious butt in that seat so she should do what it is she's getting paid for.

    I hate people like this and working with them is most certainly a drain. Keep your head up Natty something will happen. Good things come to those to wait:~)

    omg what a cow, I'm surprised you didn't laugh in her face when she accused you of stealing her pickels and tampons, I mean of all the things you might want to steal..pickels and tampons, that is quite crazy, i would have found it hard not to giggle, but this woman is obv disjointed and very unhappy if she makes wild accusations and treats everyone liek that, I like M, M & I's idea about giving her some tampons and pickels, but then I guess she may think that you did steal them. Best try not to let her get to you and stay calm, coz she'll think she can manipulate you if you lose control with her. Just walk off next time!
