and the saga continues...

had an interaction with said entitled person yesterday:

so i'm at the mailboxes and struggling to fit all the photocopies that i made for the annoying person i TA for...so i'm fiddling with a pile of papers and trying to fit them in and curl them nicely so they aren't ruined...and up comes said little person-big ego right by me and says,

"oh excuse me I just, I'm just going to reach beside you here, gotta check my box, yeah, ok, just gonna reach...ok, got it."

and i'm so flabbergasted i don't even say anything. he literally pushed into me and reached across me and above me to get to his box. could not even wait 30 seconds for me to finish, or stop what i was doing, or walk around me to reach his box...or, heaven forbid (gasp!) ask if maybe i needed some help!

oh, dios mio! bis mih lah!

an entitled person we know so well...

fresh off the press!
a few mins ago, i was sitting in the office and in comes an entitled man we're all oh so familiar with.

"hey carissa, what are you doing on Tuesdays from 5.15-5.45?"
"mm.... nothing, why?"
"I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked it like that" (you bet u shouldn't have!)
"I need someone to proctor my exam for 30 mins. I'm having a hard time scheduling supervision bla bla bla............. oh, I'm sorry I left my mess around in this office. I even left my broken toothpick on the desk. That's kind of disgusting" (walks over to clean the mess)
"Have they been in your mouth?"
"No comment."
"Yeah, that is kind of disguting."
"hehe... Thank's so much for proctoring for me. I will do something nice for you." (way to be ambiguous)

welcome!

so here it is--our long-awaited blog. this is a place where we can write our stories about the happenings in the hallways and lounges that make us wonder about the mental health of our colleagues. i'm sure you know what i mean. let's get excited!
