NOTHING
I am so grumpy and frustrated this morning. It just seems like everybody in the world is a completel dumbass.
Our phones in our office aren't working, and a lady stopped me in the lobby and said, "Question: what's wrong with the phones?"
How the hell should I know? I don't work for the phone company. The phones have nothing to do with my job or my abilities. Also, if she is curious about something, ask nicer! She could have said, "Hey Rebecca, do you know why the phones arent working?" Not the forceful way like saying, "whats wrong with the phones" The way she said it made it sound like she was demanding an answer. Then when I looked at her and honestly said that I didn't know, she was all disapointed and annoyed I guess. Geez, I am in no way responsible for the phone system.
Then every morning I am suppose to have a phone message on my phone from a worker reporting the census for clients. All I need to hear on the message is the date the report is for, and who was absent. Well, that should take five seconds, right? Nope! I am on the phone for several minutes listening to totally irrelvent information. The person tells me his first and last name, job title, how many people are absent, how many are present, which house they live in, and the reason why they were gone. I could care less about any of this. I just need to know the date, and the initials of who is gone. This one girl reported who was gone, and then went on to name of all the names of people who were present. I don't need to know that! totally irrelevent. How hard is it to say. " I am reporting for 1/2. MR, PD, and KV were absent. Thanks and goodbye." Instead they ramble on with irrelevent information and make the message many minutes long.
Annoying! And these are just two tiny annoyances I deal with everyday. Sometimes when I come in during the morning I am still a little grumpy you know, and then when people are just dumb as hell I have a hard time not getting grumpier.
If people have legitimate reasons for asking for my assistance, or have relevent information to give me so I can do my job, life would be so much easier. I just can't stand the bullshit that goes on.
this one girl has a Medicaid website access account, same as I have so we can look up info on clients. Who ever set up her account put in the wrong code, and because of this she is unable to get the clients information. I taught her how to pull up the info but until IT or someone in the corporate office goes in and fixes her account with Medicaid she can't do shit. I let my boss know this, well she emails me back to please train her on how to look up the info. WTF? Can she not read my message? Am I speaking in tongues? Did I not just let her know that she has been trained, she knows what to do, but if her account is screwed up she is just not able to do her job? You see it is easier for my boss to be a dumbass and tell me to do something to fix the problem, even though her solution is not going to work. She has an easier time telling me bullshit that wont work instead of not being lazy and getting off her ass and taking care of getting this lady's accoutn set up the correct way.
