I think I shall address the question posted by Caity, she asked which one am I? Here they are:
The "teachers pet"- or favorite, I'm not intentionally the favorite but I've been there the longest, I know the likes and dislikes of the pharmacist, and I just go with the flow. It has its benefits though, like if your bosses like you there going to push for raises, push for vacay, and get you the days off you want (sometimes).
The "let people walk all over you"- or pushover. The one who lets people yell at them for something they didn't do, the one who just takes it. It may be a good quality in the customer service field, but in the real world it just plain sucks. Can't you just stick up for yourself! Don't let them yell at you. (There are a few of us back in the pharmacy with this trait)
The "problem fixer"- peacekeeper, the one who just tries to make everything better. This ones kind of self explainatory.
There most likely are some negative ones for me, but I don't know what they are, maybe I'm biased. As far as I'm concerned, I go to work, I try my best and I work hard. And hopefully that's enough.
And I think I deserve a raise (if any of my bosses are reading this wink, wink)

Work and People
In every workplace weather it be a pharmacy (like mine) or a cubicle filled office. I'm sure there are people that fit the outline as follows;
The "know it all"- cannot be show or taught anything because they know it all ready. They always answer with "oh I knew that!" even though you know they claerly and completely didn't.
The "I have no concept of personal space"- they are ALWAYS too close for comfort welded right next to you, and sometimes are a little smelly (wether it be morning breath, or had something containing garlic for lunch). You scoot and they follow always touching somehow, looking over your shoulder as you type on the computer or helping a customer at the counter.
The "sneak"- they make mistakes and hope that no one notices, or when a mistake is found out they find a way to bypass the boss, or blame it one someone else (usually me or the new girl)
The "one that can't catch on"- you show them something about ten or more times and they still call you over 2 seconds later to be shown again. Or its some elaborate plan to remain lazy and just let other people pick up the slack for them.
The "I'm better that you"- and they let you know it! They tell you how much more experience they have than you. They want you to do it their way, because somehow your way is not good enough (but has been working just fine for you for the last 3 years!). And they they really aren't better that you, they just are egotistical (spelling) pieces of poo. They also think that they are some how that they're your boss even though the were hired at the same position you hold! And have only been there for less than 3 months, as opposed to your 3 years!
The "lazy one"- this one speaks pretty much for itself. The one who leaves the work for you, because they just didn't feel like it. The one who covers your lunch break, and the nice clean caught up workplace you left has disappeared in the 30 minutes while you ate.
The "I know but. . ."- the one who gives you a complement but there is always a BUT attached. Your sick but yet they insist that they're worse off (always have a story to top off yours).
There are so many more that I could explain but I'm to tired to type them out. These people also can be combined. For instance I have a "I know but", "I'm better than you", "know it all","sneak" combo. MAN I really dislike that person!!!! I just try to ignore them but sometimes it cannot be done.
Well I think I feel a little better after that ventage session ;)

A Update for everyone!
We'll I'm officially going to get transfered to the store I've been trying to get to for 3 almost 4 months now! My first day is going to be November 5th. I'm very excited ! And then on top of that. . . We're going to start building our house at the end of this month (well we'll be breaking ground, and the start building in November)!!!!
I'm also a little nervous about the new store. New doc's signatures and handwriting to learn. New places for drugs , to find. And new PEOPLE. It will be ok. And then along with that I'll be building a house. Goodness do I know how to do all the streesful stuff at once in my life or what?!
You know what I did today? I'm such a space case. I was supposed to leave at 3 pm today but I was at work till 5 pm. I thought I worked till 5!!! I went into the back room to get my coat and looked at the schedule and it said. Katrina 9-3!!!!! I'm soooo done.
I better get going. . . I don't know what it is with aidan and throwing that nerfball at my head whenever I write a blog ;)
