Random Bitching

Yeah, yeah, yeah...here I go again with my bitching. Well, today is the last day of one of our workers, so we had a potluck for her. Well, some of the other workers (I won't say who or what division they were in...cough...EC's...cough...cough), were complaining because the potluck table was set up in THEIR aisle. Well, these same people had a potluck last week for one of their workers in the exact same spot as this potluck was held in. And the person the THEY had the potluck for was one of THEM also, but had friends in our division, too, so I even baked brownies for her potluck and put them over in THEIR row for THEIR potluck. What I don't get is why the heck they complained in the first place. No one was being loud, and there wasn't that much food over there anyhow. It is just kinda silly when they had a potluck over there in that same spot last week, and some members of our division even brought stuff for that one. It just seems petty and childlike...or is it just me?

And one more work-related gripe... there is a worker who is not yet off her probation period who was assigned to a unit as a mentor. She is a good worker and knows her stuff. BUT, someone (I don't know who) complained saying that a person who is not yet off probation should not be in a mentor position. This complaint just goes to show how stupid and petty people can be. Just because this worker has not been here a long ass time, does not mean that she is not capable of doing that job. If she is knowledgeable and helpful, then why the heck would she not be qualified of doing that job? I know some people who work at my job have been here a long time, but that doesn't mean they know EVERYTHING. Gosh, some of them don't know jack squat, despite being here for 20 something years. Some people just have nothing better to do with their time but complain about mundane things.
