Co-worker vent: so irritated (long)

CalinsBride · February 2009

So I am doing a work placement right now for school, and there is this bitchy 50 yr old lady there who is always cranky and rude, both to her co-workers and to kids. So she says to me today, after the program I was assisting with (NOT running), that she wants me to clean everything up. (Keep in mind this is not even her program, I was assisting someone else). So I do everything I can, and there are several big, heavy items that I will NOT lift because a) I have had back probs since jr. high and b) my doctor said it would not be a good idea because my placenta is low.

So I go to the woman who actually ran the program, and ask her if there is a cart I can use to move the heavy items back to the room they belong in because they're too heavy for me. She says not to worry, she will do it herself. Fine. So I am about to leave, and bitchy lady says "aren't you going to finish cleaning up the room?" I explain to her that No, I am not going to, because the remaining items are too heavy and the other woman said she would do it. She tells me they are not heavy, and that I can lift them.

To which I reply, "They are heavy, and I am on doctors orders, and you can feel free to call her and ask if you want. I do not lift, and I do not work for you." Then I reported her to my supervisor.
