I Don't Like Mondays...
Jun. 23rd, 2014 11:26 pmI swear...I'm such an anti-social butterfly. =P
One of my coworkers has been working late for the past two weeks; this'll be the third. And it's slowly driving me crazy. One of my very favorite things about working the late shift is that I'm by myself in my department. I like the solitude and quiet. So, having someone else here is kinda wigging me out. And it's not even anything against this guy, personally. I barely know him, but he seems nice enough. I just don't want other people lurking around my little Fortress of Solitude.
And as time goes on, I find myself getting more easily annoyed, and bitchy. Little things will get on my nerves, more than they should. Like how he talks to himself. And he's soft spoken, so I keep starting, and trying to see if he's talking to me, or just mumbling to himself. It's really annoying. (Yeah, I talk to myself sometimes. But I don't do it when other people are around!)
Or the small talk. Honestly, I dislike small talk as a general rule. But if we aren't friendly with each other, and it looks like I'm doing something, then don't interrupt me just to try and make small talk. Like, if I'm reading? Leave me alone, unless it's important. (I always thought the whole 'nose buried in a book' thing was a basic bit of 'leave me alone' body language. Evidently not. =P) Or if I'm tinkering around on my computer, don't ask what I'm doing. It's none of your business, and I really don't feel like explaining it. I know I'm being more bitchy about this than is reasonable, but it just bugs me. It just feels nosy to me, though I know that's not really fair.
Ugh...It's only Monday, but I'm already wanting this week to be over. I had to come in a little early today, so one of the day-shift girls could show me how to do something. Not a big deal, but a little annoying. Then, I looked at the calendar over the weekend, and saw that I'll have to work on Saturday this week, because the Fourth of July is next week. Long weeks are always a drag, and this one kinda caught me by surprise; I usually notice them coming up sooner. So I have to work Monday through Saturday, then I'll get one day off, then I'll work Monday through Thursday. And who knows how many of those days my coworker will be here late. =/ Ugh. I'm going to have to try and rustle up some good entertainment/distraction material. I'm going to need it.
Basically, lots of little things are piling up to make me a bit more whiny and short tempered than usual. Yay. =P
