The new job

So here is the thing, I'm still not entirely sure what it is I do. Just when I think I have some idea of what my duties may entail I learn something else to the contrary.

Today I was in training learning our very old fashioned computer systems called GIS and HUON. I have seen them in my old job before, except they always ran in the background so you never had to interact with them really, they just did their thing. Now however we have to use them directly, which is not going to be a walk in the park.

On another note one of the other new girls is driving me insane. She used to work in the TBC with me before, she's about 20 and although learns fast etc, is actually quite ditsy. She says all kind of inane stupid things and I want to beat her to death with a stapler. Today at lunch she came and sat by me and proceeded to tell me about how she can't eat all kinds of things due to 'allergies' at the same time stuffing her face with bright orange Doritos. She also informed me that the kinds of foods she could eat weren't available in West Perth. Being from the health and nutrition background I am from I didn't know where to start. So I just didn't. Instead I day dreamt about pushing her in front of a CAT bus and giggling as she wet squish.

I read once that what we dislike in others are traits we ourselves have and don't like. I really hope that isn't true.

i don't think that it is true. i dislike lots of things such as intolerance, cruelty, people who don't have patience with little kids (to an extent), arrogance... i don't necessarily consider myself to have any of those traits.

so i think you're pretty safe, miss milly :) xx

I recommend the 'wah wah' method for dealing with people like that. While they're talking, you just zone out and imagine that the only noise coming out of their mouth is 'wah wah wah wah'. It's kind of entertaining and relaxing at the same time :)
