nishatalithaHave just had a shower and so feel nice and clean as opposed to sticky and yucky as I did before. I am leaving shortly to go over to see C., because she asked me and I haven't been to her place for ages. I think that was the logic involved in the decision. I also have books to return to her.
I have a question about work stuff that thought I would ask here generally for advice.
There is this person I work with. Her name is Gillian. I have worked with her a number of times. I tend to be partnered with either her, Ishita or Caroline. I'm fine with Caroline and Ishita and I are becoming friends. But Gillian, ahhh! I am wondering whether I should speak with the supervisors or Zlata and ask if I can work with people other than Gillian. However, there are all sorts of consequences to that and I was wondering if anyone had any advice.
Long explanation follows.
I was working with her today and as is becomming usual, I found myself to be irritated with her at the beginning of the day, highly annoyed with her at various periods throughout it and too weary to feel much of anything about her by the end of the day, save for the usual general irritation. Things were compounded by the fact that we took over thirty minutes to finish each room today. We're supposed to be doing them in twenty or so.
Added to this is the fact that I was hoping to get to leave early today, say around three or so. Instead I walked out about five. As usual. The trouble is that we only have eleven rooms to do today instead of the twenty or so we (with different partners) had yesterday. Of those roooms, one didn't require a service and two were Do Not Disturb at the end of the day. So, technically, we did eight in that time. That is a lot of mucking around and almost works out to be over an hour together for each room. We shouldn't be taking so long.
Yesterday Ishita and I finished around five-thirty. Somehow, with a different person, we can nearly double the time spent in each room. But then, we were working really hard yesterday to get our times to under twenty minutes for various reasons, but that's another story.
Gillian doesn't seem to get this urgency. And she does things in a way that I disagree with, but when I attempt to discuss it with her or disagree with something that she's done and actually dare to mention it, she justifies her actions and then tends to add in something about maybe she thinks differently and understands things differently because she's a mother. Thank you, I know I'm 22 and that you're closer to my mother's age than my own, but that does not give you the right condescend to me because I'm young.
It's not just that, either. Little things. Like last time we worked together, she kept calling me Katriona for the first time since we'd first worked together. And then she was a bit annoyed when I called her on it. Said she understood, and I'm sure that she did, but the implication was inherent that I should understand her mix up and not bother her about it.
I find her condescending, arrogant, unwilling to listen to corrections and slow.
Help?

laputain, I seem to have lost my link to Unite, the union you suggested I join. I was talking to Ishita the other day and suggested that she join, since we're both annoyed about the same thing...
I am rereading Curse of Chalion yet again. I really like that book. I think I'm going to have to replace my copy of it with a general reading copy. Either normal paperback or hardcover. I would like a hardcover copy. Mine is wearing out too rapidly, and being signed and all, I don't want to lend it out when it's starting to wear out. Don't want to cart it around in my bag for the same reason.
Time to go see C.
