If you haven’t known by now I work with…some rather unusual individuals. It makes me wonder just how management decided to pick these people from.

What I am going to TRY and do is pull out a few things that my co-worker’s do that classify them as being an ‘idiot’.

It is JUST A JOB!

We are not working to save lives. We are not in gun battle. We work in an OFFICE. Yet, time and time again some of coworkers feel the need to stress of every.little.thing.

While I mentioned a little about my Chicken Little Co-Worker this particular disease tends to spread around the office rather quickly.

I do not convey just surfing the web and not doing any work but let’s be realistically here people. Unless you are saving lives or protecting them (Thank you Jack Bauer) then your stress level should not be THAT HIGH.

It IS a JOB!

From those that stress over a misplacing a paperclip (yes, it has happened) to those who feel the need to surf the web and talk on the phone all.freaking.day.

While this is the other end of the spectrum of #1 – we do have a job and we do need to get things done. That game of minesweeper and your story about your weekend to your ‘best friend’ can wait 30 minutes, right?

TRY to be Smart

It’s a stretch for some of the co-workers but yet they still can’t accomplish it. As hard as they try they just can’t seem to understand simple things. From turning on a computer (even though they’ve worked on one for 10+ years) to where emails go after you hit “SEND“.

These are the individuals who feel the need to ask a question at a meeting when the meeting was just over last week’s meeting and looking for progress updates. QUESTION’S ARE.NOT.NEEDED!

Sorry, a little upset about that one…well, you would to if you had to sit thru 2 hours of management rambling over the same thing they said last week.

*groan*

Please tell me I’m not alone on these top 3 before I try to hang myself with my mouse cord…just kidding, honestly.
