My co-worker has a much sweeter deal than me and gets a bunch more vacation time than I do. She's been here longer, so whatever I guess. But anyway, she's obsessed with plants and gardening and such and has a whole slew of plants in the office. I like plants but am the opposite of a green-thumb and have killed every plant I've ever had in my possession because I simply don't think about watering them. I generally dislike keeping up on plants. Well, now my co-worker is taking a crap ton of vacation over the summer and she is after me to keep up with her plants. That sounds small and stupid, I know, but three of these plants are rather large and require a lot of water, which means I have to make at least three trips back and forth to the kitchen on the other end of the office with the milk jug to get water 2 or 3 times a week. Ugh, I know this is just hormones, but I'm super annoyed by this whole situation right now.
Re: Stupid, hormone-driven vent
That's what I'd do. You could hint that they have plant watering services that she can hire if she wants to keep them alive.
