    Do you have one of ‘them’ in your office?

    Strong willed wench from hell.

    Senior operational user, stubborn type with power beyond her ability. Permie to the core.

    Examples:

    1. Helpdesk tool on projector screen – she was shouting for the IT director thinking that Helpdesk Sentry was Space Invaders. Gave the office a good laugh though.
    2. She lives in the smoking shed, and does around 70 hours in the place, to make up for the 40 hours in the smoke shed. She has complained to department heads about the 7am people with long commutes leaving ‘early’. Laughable as she only knows when people leave due to living in the smoking shed.
    3. Oh, she caught me looking at my online banking the first time I was getting paid and dressed this up as always on the internet.

    She really hated me as a contractor, but, now tolerates me a little more now I am permie.

    Anyone got any other examples??

    Does this happen to everyone who is permie at some point? If so, when should I return to the fold, or is it too late?

    Thankfully the people who count just see her as some entertainment.

    She really likes you. Ask her for a date at the end of the day. In fact better ask now.

              There's this guy in my office, always whingeing about something or telling a dull story.

              Hasn't spoken to me since I pissed on his shoes.
