And hate’s a strong word.

But do you ever wonder what people must think to themselves about themselves when they go home? I mean, there’s this girl I Work with and she just gets on my nerves. Quite frankly, everything about her irks me. The way she moves, the way she talks, even at lunch, the way she eats. She’s one of those bubbly/always happy types… and I mean, while I’m a generally happy person, she takes it to an unacceptable level. At least, I think she does.

And she has these annoying habits… like, she can’t pass a mirror without looking at herself. She thinks she’s some fashionista, and she modifies her clothing this way or that way. She picks something, like, say, a scarf, and wears it ALL the time. She wears the same shoes everyday. Granted, she could be broke, I’ll give that to her…. I mean, kudos for trying, but still, it jus rubs me the wrong way, I guess. Like she thinks she has this flair about her. Maybe I’m just tired of it.

Her voice is annoying. She constantly talks about where she’s from (like anyone wants to hear), but y’know, maybe she’s “homesick”. Regardless, who wants to hear the same story about how she grew up… over and over and over again. She bosses people around under the guise of “making a suggestion”. I wonder sometimes if she ever even does work, because I always see her taking breaks and snacking. Sometimes she’s complain that she thinks her energy is low. I think she complains a little too much for her own good.

Then she pretends to be this over-achiever. She tries to make nice nice with the managers, tries to make it seem like she can do all the jobs (when I know she doesn’t really get any of it done). She has issues delegating work (because she always makes it seem like she’s so damn bossy), and she doesn’t know her shit, and she’s been there for months. Kind of a let down, if you ask me. She does tasks that no one asked her to do, of course, because she wants to seem proactive, but in reality, it just makes her seem like a do-gooder. Of course, someone else has to go and undo the work that she shouldn’t have done…. [insert eye-roll here] pain in the ass.

Dunno where she gets off feeling like she’s the centre of her world… like she’s oh so important to those around her. Maybe she has these supernatural great friends who love to hear about her other jobs and what else is going on in her life, but honestly, at work, there are more things to be concerned with… like say, maybe getting the job done?! Today, someone else got employee of the month, and you could tell that she was disappointed. It’s so funny that she actually expected to have a chance at it, but I mean, I’m not even joking, she really didn’t. She gossips, and I’d say that everyone does… but not like her. She smiles in everyone’s face, and the way I learnt it… one who smiles in your face and susses behind your back is a hypocrite, no? Trust me when I tell you, it’s like her goal in life is to be a people pleaser, and it’s so so sad the lengths she goes to to achieve so little.

I really wonder what kinda thoughts run through her head when she’s telling another one of her un-funny jokes? Or like, how does she justify doing some nonsense or does she seek self-validation? It sounds kinda oddly cliche, but I really wonder how she wakes up in the morning and thinks of herself. What does she think of before going to bed, or when she gets home from work? Does she realise that she’s probably one of the least favoured, and that people don’t like her and they just don’t have the heart to hurt her feelings?

Is it that foreign a concept to her, to just be normal? Of course, what is the definition of normal (I know, I know)… but I guess…. I guess maybe I’m just tired of her.

I dunno why she irritates me so much. Maybe there’s that fibre of self-recognition… I know there’s some psychological study somewhere that states that we tend to lash out at the things we identify within ourselves. Oh, whatever… I’m sure I’m not the only one who knows someone who just gets under your skin…. I’m sure someone out there can relate. I jus wanted to vent.
