Lunchtime Poll: Tell me about your co-workers.

I didn't forget to post a poll topic yesterday. The truth is that I couldn't think of anything to ask about. Well, anything other than, "What should I do with my life?" No one seems to be interested in answering that one for me, so I figured I'd give you guys a break.

Anyway, this one comes from Megan and her office mates, who had the following conundrum:

Who pisses you off more - the people you work for, or the people you work with?

I really hope Megan's co-workers get the opportunity to leave a few comments, too, but leaving Megan's name out of it, of course.

There are six of us in my office, I dislike working with almost all of my coworkers. Especially the one I like to refer to as The Cryer. Yes I know it should be Crier. But it looks better. She cries a lot, at her desk. If it's not one thing it's another, this girl just can't catch a break.

there only four of us and outside the boss we all do almost the same thing, but due to me being at least 12 years younger than everyone i have to answer the phones, clean the office, run all the errands and buy and change the toilet paper, so NO i don't love my work fellows....

On the whole I like most of the people I work with. and for...but I'd have to say, more of the people I work with piss me off. But then again, I probably piss them off too.

i hear that! i am more educated than the women i work with, they are NOT my superiors, but since I am 24 and they are 50+, I am expected to do all the crap around here. (i.e. if the phone rings, my coworkers will just ignore it. if i also ignore it, they will glare at me until i answer it). I hate my coworkers, and I hate being a secretary. i am not sassy enough for this job.
i dont interact too much with my bosses. They are both over 60, so we have very little to talk about. sometimes we try to have a conversation, but it fizzles pretty quickly due to my inability to find a more appropriate response than the giggle and nod, or the sympathetic sigh and eye roll.

Um, I'll have to e-mail you an essay.

Until then, I hate the people I work with more, mostly because of The Cannibal, who thinks I'm gross for eating baked goods.

I hated my coworker (a LOT) until Monday, at which point she became my ex-coworker... because I got fired.

I hate the 20s. Ugh.

Bwahahaha.

I hated my LAST job. In this job, I'm doing actual productive stuff instead of bitch work. Plus, I work with a small team. A pretty sweet setup overall, I think :)

It's going to be OK! *pats you on the back, hands you a homemade oatmeal raisin cookie*

the only affinity i feel for anyone at my office are the people i have nothing to do with except after-work-working.

oh, have i mentioned that my job is turning me into an alcoholic?

it is.
