So I've been sitting here at work since 3:30. (It's now 10:30). There is a particular co-worker that annoys me ALMOST more than anyone else. I think there's a tie between this one and another one.
So I've been sitting here listening to her for 7 hours (only 30 minutes to go and she's outta here), and I hear that she says a lot of things that she THINKS she knows what she's talking about, but she really doesn't. It COULD be comical. But it isn't. It's annoying.
She is now talking to a customer and she keeps saying that she's trying to read the technician's "joggin". Well, the correct word is jargin. And she does NOT have any east coast accent that could be throwing me off.
When she receives a spanish speaking customer who refuses to speak English in this country (and why should they since we cater to them?) she says "MOMENTO MOMENTO!!!!!" And there may be times when she'll repeat that to the same customer rather than saying "Just a minute" (since English is the language she speaks) or "Un momento". KILLS ME!!!!
