getting really tired of my new coworker's attitude. starting tomorrow, i'm taking a policy that if she wants me to teach her how to do something, she's gonna have to ask. no more politely checking if she knows how to do a task. no more watching as she does an uncommon thing. if she's gonna give me snark every time our communication styles mismatch, then i'm just going to remove one of the sources of that friction.

#we really. are not a good fit #we miss each other farrrr more often than we match #and as much as i don't want to say i'm blameless and perfect at social things and a victim that things just ~happen to~#i feel like i'm coming to our interactions with a lot more grace and patience #i realize i could take a step back and trust her to do the job #and i'm going to #but i really want to train her well since it seems she'll be sticking around. i want her to be confident in the job and know what she's doin #though i'll admit it has been hard to see her as competent and treat her as such. she had made bad impression after bad impression #and i probably could afford being more hands off at this point #and because i'm annoyed and a little hurt i'm going to just back off entirely #which maybe is kinda a dick move #but if my training strategy has been so annoying to her then she'll probably appreciate me backing off.#even if my intnetions are from negative emotions vs my admittedly redundant reminders #coming from good/helpful intent #it just annoys me because i try to grant her good faith when i misunderstand her or she jumps the gun or something #while i feel like she isn't doing the same when i do it #and then when i explain a thing in a way that doesn't make sense to her she gets passive aggresive about it. in front of patients #tes i could've explained that better and i will try to explain things like that differently in the future #but the running joke you've made about this isn't funny #so. no more training unless explicitly asked for. and frankly #if i can. no more reacting to her passive aggression #that one will be harder but i think i can do it #i hate this so much #i'm at work to get paid not fucking struggle through Draling With Idiots 101 #*Dealing #and if she's gonna proudly proclaim how much she just doesn't care? fine. just fine. neither will i #personal #okay can these feelings calm down now i need to sleep
