What a jackass.

(Note, this occured and was written yesterday.)

I work at a Help Desk. Late last week, I took a call that the resolution of which made me realize that a procedure we'd been telling people to follow was incorrect under certain circumstances. It was a small thing, but relatively important. So I email the entire staff and let them know, as well as what the correct thing to do was.

I then spent a good part of my spare time today, creating a new document detailing this to make available to everyone. I took the original document outlining the procedure, and modified it to account for these certain circumstances. So at about 2:30 I finish, post it to our intranet site, and email it to the staff and our manager and supervisor.

Voila! I'm the man.

An hour goes by, it's 3:30, and the entire staff gets an email from another employee here at the Help Desk. In it she says, "Sorry - I already created new instructions before lunch and posted them in the appropriate folders. I just forgot to send the email to everyone notifying them.." So I go to check the folders, and sure enough there's her document. Only thing is, documents are time and date stamped in these folders....and they were put in there about two minutes before she emailed everyone. She didn't do it before lunch. What a clown.

Typically this isn't the type of thing that would bother me, but this lady has said some derogatory things about me in the past, as well as the fact as she has a bit of the "I'm queen of the roost" attitude, so I'm a little annoyed she's trying to take the credit. But, eh, whatever I guess. If she needs this to sleep better at night then her life must pretty much kind of suck anyway.
