Worried About Witchy

Yes, her silence since Friday has me worried that her hands and arms are hurting her again. I'm hoping it's not the case, but it very likely is the culprit. Here's a little "get better soon" message.

Not so much in agonizing pain, as much as watching 'Triple H, King of Kings' on DVD... I know, I can be a total geek... ::Sheesh::

LOL - and I was worried.

::shakes head:: Oh, well. It was quality time offline I see.

2:46 PM  
Blogger NorthWitch said...

Nah, I was online... sorta... Just forgot to turn off the invisibility thingie, sorry...

Uh-uh... also had crossed my mind but figured you would remember sooner or later.

After all, I was getting too much work done. LOL

Aw crap, we can't have that now, can we?

No. I was thinking about... scanning... documents slated for archival. Gah!!!!

2:57 PM  
Blogger NorthWitch said...

Scanning??? When there's all this tagging to be done??? Who do they think you are? Wonder Woman?

LOL - I know. Like they expect me to work? Pl-lease.

Isn't it enough that you show up, looking adorable? Now you've actually got to earn that paycheck?

::Shakes head::

Oh the horrors!

3:11 PM  
Blogger Raina Nathair said...

Yeah, I know.

Actually, I was just on a phone call and no one else was picking up another call that just came in half a second behind it.

I'm getting chewed out for not answering it. The poor girl answered two whole calls for me today WHILE I was on the other line. The HORROR! Freakin' stuck up B*TCH. I mean, she got a promotion, a raise and an office all within 6 months of being hired. Come on, is she too good to answer a phone when I'm abandoned out here???? Huh????

3:16 PM  
Blogger NorthWitch said...

Did she chew you out? Cause in that case, I'd put my foot so far up her ass, you could do my toenails from her mouth...

Answer truthfully, I only have one mouth... alas, I can only answer one call at a time.

3:25 PM  
Blogger Raina Nathair said...

I can't touch her and she bellowed out of her office to the person the call was for that she 'had to answer it twice today' and to pick up 'the boss' on Hold #1. I happily cut in that she'd hung up on 'the boss' as I had someone on Hold #1 and it bumps the new person not the old.

:-PPPPPPPPPP

Jeepers, why was she promoted, and not you?

Well, good thing she was the one that hung up on the boss and not you!

She's a super cute, young, college graduate who writes wonderful speeches and arguments. She's small cute. Like annoyingly short cute girl cute. Gag.

I swear, I usually like being friends with those girls, but her? I've seen her work it too many times and I've seen her backstabby-bitchy side too many times.

3:42 PM  
Blogger NorthWitch said...

See, 'supercute' does not equal 'supernice'... or even slightly nice, in this case.

I'm so thankful that the business solutions team that I belong to, actually, it's the only business solutions team(!), is free of backstabber. We're considered one of the best teams, in terms of attitude towards each other and towards others. I was actually commended after the week of horrors I had. When I was the only vet available for cellular, business and retailer's support. Everyone came to me with problems to fix. I was commended on having such a great attitude, always a smile for whoever came 'knocking' and always giving good quality help. I was floored! People actually felt they needed to tell team leaders everywhere? I thought I was only doing my job as part-time coach...

Sometimes people can surprise you, like noticing that you are really a member of the team and not a just 'calling' it in.

1:32 PM  
Blogger NorthWitch said...

I never 'call it in' at work, that's how f*$k ups happen. I hate fixing them when they could have been avoided by someone stepping up to the plate and actually giving a damn when they're asked an honest question.

1:45 PM  
Blogger Raina Nathair said...

Yes, but unfortunately there are a good number of souls who do call it in and the rest of us have to make up for it.

Mind you, I've been enjoying the slow time and the chance to play here so much, but when I need to... I'll vanish into the mists and won't surface until the end of the day to do a brief barrage of posting before racing off to whatever the evening holds for me.

Lately, it's been holding lameness and boredom, but I'm optimistic that not every second of every day is boring and lame. ;-)

Blogger NorthWitch said...

True, that's why I wait as long as I do before nudging you ;o)

2:09 PM  
Blogger Raina Nathair said...

True enough. And when you nudge and get ignored, you tend to show a fairly nice level of patience and understanding. Especially since I talk about the insane people I work with.

Oh, I had a LONG TIME employee (I'm talking years with the company) walk into Accounting while I was there delivering the mail and ask how to submit a simple expense report.

I was like "er... need help?" feeling like a moron because he's done this a million times.

Turns out he hadn't, up until a few days ago, his assistant had been doing all his entries. He's a noob. Joy.

2:24 PM  
Blogger NorthWitch said...

LOL!

Well, I know about being up to your eyeballs in work. Hell, I can' barely even look at the online newspapers while at work... Forget about IM'ing... I can see others doing it, but they don't have the same workload I do...

2:37 PM  
Blogger Raina Nathair said...

The thing is, this little Italian guy from the Bronx (I kid you not) is forever throwing fits about the (honestly) insane deadlines that the boss gives him and the details which are difficult to arrange. Mind you, a lot of his work gets pushed off onto his assistant.

Now he has to help train a replacement because is old one got a promotion and the new one is only 'half' his. Teehee. He's having to do more of his own work. But I still walk past his office and hear his movies playing or music blaring. ::sigh::

I want an office!

2:44 PM  
Blogger NorthWitch said...

I can only dream about that, I'm in a call center, open landscape. Thankfully, I have my back to the wall and my headphones blaring loudly into my ears to help me keep all the noise out. besides, I like mu team mates, we're a good unit and we enjoy each others company, I'd be lonely in an office now...

3:19 PM  
Blogger Raina Nathair said...

I wouldn't, I'd never have the door closed. I'd buy a mini fridge for my office and stash sodas in it. If I was really ticked off at people, I'd be one of those special 'pod' coffee pots that only makes coffee for one.

My bonsai would grace a shelf on the sunniest wall I had and I'd have a huge filing cabinet in my office with all the files and crap I need to keep track of. :-D

I WANT AN OFFICE!

3:41 PM  
Blogger NorthWitch said...

You need an office, I don't, not really.

3:50 PM  
Blogger Raina Nathair said...

NO, no. You see, slave labor doesn't need an office. Slave labor should be glad to have a cubicle of her own. Slave labor should be happy to have an office full of people to mollycoddle.

::sigh:: I enjoy the mollycoddling, I just wish I was appreciated for it.

4:43 PM  
Blogger Shadow Rider said...

But you aren't 'Slave Labor' anymore..now you're 'Girl Friday' does everything for everyone, and makes sure the office keeps running, and only gets the occasional crumb of thanks thrown at her.

7:29 PM  
Blogger NorthWitch said...

Oye, but ShadowRider, that's just another title meaning the same as Slave Labor. ::Shakes head::

BTW, ShadowRider... You need to post a little on your own corner of blogspot. Went in to have a look-see, the place was more barren than Death Valley, what gives?

11:45 PM  
Blogger Raina Nathair said...

Unlike us, ShadowRider has a life filled with a husband, kids and horses. :-) And a cat.

And no, I'm not Slave Labor anymore, but Girl Friday is not my end goal either. :-) I'd prefer "Office Manager" with an office and enough money after rent, etc. to be able to have some fun.

Wouldn't we all...? ::Deep sigh::

Yes. Naturally.

Need to do a new post. We're killing the comments on this one. It's begging to be put out of it's misery. LOL

You can call it. I'll just... go back to baby-sitting the monster incubators, k?
