In Office News

Our retiree has retired, but has that ended the feud? Of course not.

She Who Is Still With Us (SHISWU) is ranting today, accusing the departed one of having switched off the ringer on SHISWU’s phone so that SHISWU did not realize she was missing calls. Her evidence? None, except that the ringer has been turned down.

God help any one of us who might dare suggest that maybe the cleaning lady accidentally pressed on the button while cleaning the desk, or that (yikes!) SHISWU herself might’ve leaned on it, or any other plausible scenario. Nope. It is that evil departed one who deliberately turned down the ringer before she left.

SHISWU went to our supervisor to complain. What does she expect her to do? Call the retiree at home and give her hell?

How long will this insanity continue?

I’m a bit worried about SHISWU. She’s always been high-strung but lately I fear she’s going off the rails completely.

lordy, how many coffees did you have this morning - 3 entries in one morning. Sounds like work is getting to you too.

...my advice to you: turn her ringer down at the end of day on Friday and see what happens on Monday.

If I understand your advice, you want her to end up in the loony bin.
