Endurance test.

There is a girl in work who I really don't get on with. Unfortunately we seem to have very similar hours and are often stuck together for hours on end.

I try to make small talk but she just ends up irritating me.

I think that we just dont 'get' each other. I certainly don't 'get' her sense of humour. It's just mean. She'll say something nasty and then when you take offense she says "it was a joke" like I'm an idiot for not being able to tell in the first place. But you see it doesn't sound like a joke. It never sounds like a joke. She's just not funny. Or pleasant.

I don't really like her and she doesn't like me.

Yet we spend hours together.

We endure each other.

Hopefully not for long.

We have no music in my work, or very nearly none. I wish we did, it would do wonders for my sanity. I spent 2 hours this morning wandering around my work stocking up singing Pearl Jam songs under my breath. Anyone within earshot must have thought I was mental.

"Jeremy spoke in claass toodayy, Jeremee spoke in claaass toodayy ...ooh ooooh oh oh oh oh!"

She's classic passive/aggressive. She reminds me of mostly everybody I've ever worked with.

It could just be me, of course.

You could be on to something there Wyndham. Although really I think she's just a bit of a shit.

Oh and welcome!

Ugh, ugh, ugh!

My work colleagues may be cliquey, attention-seeking and annoying but at least they're not like that.

You have my sympathies.

Keep singing, it eases the pain. :)
