Woosahhhhhh

Ok so we have this admin for our team at work, right.... I aint liked her from day one. First of all, she looks like one of the children of the corn, and you cant trust nobody that looks like children of the corn LOL. She's a white girl with real pale blonde hair and even paler blue eyes - like for real, for real, she almost makes me think she's albino, but she could just need some sun. Either way, I aint never like her ass.

She is one of those people who thinks she knows everything and when she fucks some shit up, she is always trying to justify or explain it away, usually trying to put the onus back on you in the process. I cant stand people like that. If you did something wrong, own it, apologize when appropriate, and fix it. Its that damn simple. You're relatively new (newer than me) so there is gonna be a learning curve. You cant come in here thinking you know it all from the door, (even though that's exactly what she did).

Now, being the admin, she is the one who books my travel. This is the first thing she fucked up. When I arrive at a hotel, my shit is supposed to be already confirmed and paid for. I got to the spot last week and the shit wasnt paid. So now I got to check my bag and just go in to the office and trust that everything is going to be worked out by the time I get back - this after spending about twenty minutes, looking crazy at the counter, trying to track her ass down on the phone. You would think, even with an explanation, she'd say something like "Sorry about that." No. This bitch just wanna try to explain it. I dont give a gotdamn what happened, fix it. And this is the explanation she gave: our contract with that particular hotel had come up for renewal so they couldnt charge the company card, although it was on file there, until the authorization was renewed.

*staring into the camera*

Ok so let me get this straight - you KNEW this, and you just dropped the ball and didnt get the authorization to them? Thats your fucken fault. And I know this because the shit was resolved in the 10-15 minutes it took me to walk to the office from the hotel. I walked into the office suite and she was telling me it was taking care of, before I could even get a word outta my mouth, and telling me all cool, like it was no big deal. Yes the hell it is a big deal, Ashley. Get your shit together.

Then today..... ooh she almost got it today, boy. I had her set up a web conference a couple of days ago for this afternoon. I had a training to do for one of our customers. She set it up and sent me the info, all set. So today, me and one of my reps get ready to go into the conference room to start the training and there's people in there. Ok, so maybe she booked one of the other rooms. Nope. All the conference rooms were in use.

So Im like "um... Ashley.... did you reserve a conference room?" Before she even goes to look at anything, she's already telling me how she doesnt think she was the one who set it up and she doesnt remember it, but if she did, I didnt tell her to book a conference room.

*pause*

"Ashley, can you pull the invite up, please?"

She pulls it up. "See, it said you were the organizer."

"It should. You dont remember me giving you my login info and having to have my password reset? It would have to be under my account in order for me to access it with administrative rights."

"Mm."

Yeah, mm. In the location field: "conference room". "It says conference room, Ashley. One would see that and think you had booked one, no?"

"Well I wouldnt know to book one if you dont tell me, so you have to remember to tell me that next time."

*staring into the camera*

"You wouldnt know you had to book a conference room.... for a training?" LOL

So the rep that was with me grabs my hand and says, lets just do it from here - and we go to his desk, which is kind of out of the way and quiet enough to pull off a web conference. Goes off fine, Im over it.

I get back to my desk and this bitch has sent me an email entitled "in the future" LOL. Dont ever in life start any written communication to me that way, it pisses me the fuck off INSTANTANEOUSLY LOL. She's again reiterating how its my fault, in so many words, and how we can avoid these types of mishaps "in the future."

Dont you know I drafted and deleted three different emails in response to that shit before finally deciding not to send any of them? LOL I was so ticked off with her, that I could not construct an email appropriate enough to not warrant a response with my boss copied in on it LOL I really need to have a conversation with her face to face, but I couldnt do that either because I was THAT fucken hot. I figured the best thing to do was finish the last thing I had to do for the day and get up outta there, and revisit it tomorrow. Still hot though, I walked twenty minutes in the rain to my even-farther-away-than-last-week hotel. I felt a little better when I got here. Good move, Dig. Good move.

About an hour or so ago, I get email to my BB, letting the team know that she's gonna be working out of the old building tomorrow. Thank you, Jesus (and sorry for all the swearing, Amen LOL)

So IDK, by Thursday, I might be willing to just let it go and not say anything to her at all. I mean, her JOB is to do shit we tell, but I CAN set up my own web conferences. I dont need to have her do it, so maybe I just wont anymore. She would still have to make my travel arrangements, but that's minimal contact - simple email stating when Im leaving and coming back, how I wanna travel, what times I wanna travel and where I wanna stay and thats it. And Im not planning to travel next week, maybe not the week after that either, so by then..... yeah, by then I should be ok.

But until then, she might wanna avoid walking in front of me down a flight of stairs.

Im just saying.
