Ooooh-kay.....
The woman in the office outside mine. As in, you have to walk through it to get to mine. Every secretary in this office is assigned to two attorneys. Not this woman. She has one. I see her attorney in her office doing his own shit sometimes. She is also in charge of our library. She has apparently been caught sleeping down there on occasion. She is completely worthless. If you ever need help, don't bother. You'll waste more time asking her and not having her do it than you will doing it yourself.
She has been here some length of time, and when they had the proper documentation about what a lazy worthless piece of trash she was (when she was assigned, briefly, to other attorneys) they didn't fire her and now they can't, or we'd have the EEOC all up in our shit, or at least, that's the fear.
She keeps a little black book of things around the office; who said what to whom; how long someone was in my office socializing; things that were said to her that were inappropriate or pissed her off; what assignments she was given by attorneys and things she was asked to do that she felt were not her province. I know because I've searched her desk for it, to affirm its mythical existence. I found some of the "back-issues," but nothing current.
She's irritating as all hell. You can't work (or blog) with the door open. She talks on the phone about church bazaars and various civic organizations that she heads up, the office serving as the place from which many of her responsibilities get filled. None of those having to do with my firm's business. She has an irritating, pretentious, self-important voice. She also talks to herself. Sometimes, when you hear her say "Oooh-kay. . ." (long, drawn out, irritating, pretentious, nasally) or "Let's Seeeeee" you just want to yell. . ."Geez, Ann, shut up!" I don't whether she does it to sound busy. . .? I just passed her in the hall and she said, "ooooh-kay" as she does. Ok, what, Ann? Look there's Miss Have You, "ooooh-kay...." She is a waste of a perfectly good space outside my door where a real secretay could sit. Seriously, she's like the office joke, everyone knows she does NOTHING.
