This is a question Bastard Colleagues

You've all known one. The brown-nosing fucker, the 'comedian', the drunk, the gossip and of course the weird one with no mates who goes bell ringing, looks like Mr Majika and sports a monk's haircut (and is a woman).

Tell us about yours...

Thanks to Deskbound for the idea

This is a boy's job
A woman started in our team a couple of years ago. She ignored all of her responsibilities and would spend all day doing little favours for our line manager and his boss. Although she was extremely helpful to influential people in the office she would try and offload all of her own jobs onto other people.

At first we had to do her jobs for her because "she was new" then the excuse became "you are better than me" or "I don't know how to" Teaching her took twice as long as doing it yourself and she would forget within hours. She even tried "you should do this instead of me because it is a boy's job" If you showed any hesitation in doing her work for her she threw a major tantrum.

Fortunately our supervisor and manager wised up to her manipulative behaviour, although the people at the top of our company still think she is wonderful. Gahhh

what
what was the actual work you were doing?

Some sums
I cannot remember any of the specific tasks, but none of them involved getting your hands dirty or heavy lifting, it would be stuff that involved adding numbers up.

Working out the hours someone has worked is hardly advanced calculus

Thinking about her again I have just remembered that she would bring her small yappy dog to work.
