fuck this job.com

Ok...so I used to post here last year under a different username but decided to change it. Anyhow, I got this job last year and it's ok. My boss has good leadership skills and doesn't micro-manage. My problem is with the work environment. I work in IT at a health care centre. My job role doesn't really belong in an IT department but the people here are so stupid that my boss decided to manage this role anyways. Thank God. As I was saying, the work environment here is weird to say the least. The people in my department are cool. I don't really talk to them much but they don't expect you too. However, you'll find all sorts of crazy people working in other areas. Name it, we have it.

I made the mistake of befriending a girl that's around my age. She's ok but the longer I'm here, the less I trust her. I really don't have much choice but to work with her. Anyways, the last couple of months she's always telling me how much work she has to do. She'll actually come to my desk which is in the same wing but further down the hall, and tell me how much work she has. She'll then continue babbling on about her wedding and other mundane activities in her life.

I don't mind the small talk but the fact that she sighs then tells me she's swamped really annoys me. She does this everytime I see her. Does she honestly think I give a flying fuck how much work she has? I've been waiting for like two months for stuff from her. Simple stuff that would take like 10 minutes at most. She dramatizes everything so I'm guessing she's dramatizing her workload. I think she attends meetings more than anything.

I've decided to slowly detach myself from this person. I've told her that I've been looking for another job and I'm scared it's going to blow up in my face. I think I'm going to lie and tell her that I love it here and never leaving...
