Q: Work Rant (maybe a Little Long)

As you all know I recently started a new position as a Veterinary Receptionist. I love my job so far and everyone there is great....except for one woman.

On my third day (yesterday) she worked. It was the first time I had met her and somehow the general topic turned to tattoos. I mentioned I had a few and she immediately started talking about how 'I might think it is an adult decision but it isn't' and that I do not know what I will want 'when I get older' (ie when I am not an immature spoiled brat). I was soooo mad.

She then preceded to put me on filling duty and then made a point of telling me to leave files sticking out a bit so she can recheck them and make sure they are in the right place. Excuse me but i know my ABC's you idjit. She even did so and then announced that an Ae file was in with the Aa's. I did not file that particular one but no doubt she thought I had.

After all this everytime I asked for help she would get all uppity. At one point I let her know that a client was a new patient and did not have a chart and she just glared at me and said ' I know that' in the nastiest tone possible. She couldn't believe that I might know more about the client (she had called the day before and I knew the did not have a chart and had also double checked to see if one had been made.)

I am pretty sure it did not help her mood that I was polite through all of this. I made sure to say please when I asked a question and thank you when ever I received an answer.

Some people, UGH!

What else can I do? She was rude the entire time and I believe it was all because of the tattoo chat. I know she has no clue who I am. I have been on my own for quite some time, paying my own bills, rent and medical expenses on my own and have been through some tough stuff with my family and their issues and treatment of me throughout my childhood and no matter what this woman has nothing that can hurt me.

It just angers me that anyone can be so rude withought reason
