To want to tell a colleague to stop chatting up the IT guy

And get on with the very simple task that has, so far, taken her 5 hours to do?

It should have taken her around an hour, maximum. It's a very simple job. She's been shown how to do it loads of times.

WHY the eff has it taken her 5 hours?! And WHY is she chatting up the IT guy when she should be getting on with the job?

And WHY am I being such a cow? (Chocolate withdrawal I suspect)

But really, 5 hours to check 14 questions have been answered????

Is she your colleague or your junior?

If she's 'under' you then yes, you should tell her to 'get on with it and keep the flirting to a minimum'...

If she's an equal colleague then it's not really anything to do with you is it? Unless she's holding you up from getting on with something....

Still frustrating though - maybe get her to go and buy you both some chocolate

Unless she's holding you up from getting on with something....

Like the IT guy you mean?

ChippingIn · 04/08/2010 15:08

You have long lunch breaks where you work

Morloth · 04/08/2010 15:11

IT guys are pretty hot these days.

AnyFucker · 04/08/2010 15:12

Iklboo · 04/08/2010 15:13

IT guys are hot. nearly as good as scientists.

nickelbabe · 04/08/2010 15:23

if she's allowing you time to MN, then surely you can't complain!

i hate people like that - if you are doing your job, but she's not, it's not fair on everyone else in your office.

Morloth · 04/08/2010 15:24

Definitely Roy for me AnyFucker or possibly Richmond...

ChippingIn · 04/08/2010 15:28

She's been holding you up since3 1.30

Me thinks you shouldn't take the piss being on MN at work for 2 hours and then have the audacity to complain about someone eyeing up the IT guy

AnyFucker · 04/08/2010 15:29

oh yes, Morloth, Roy too

both at the same time, whatver

Tiredmumno1 · 04/08/2010 15:33

nickelbabe have ya been on chat. there was a thread about posters that hadnt been seen for a while and you were on it

sorry to hi jack

lazarusb · 04/08/2010 19:23

I reckon it's Moss

Doigthebountyeater · 04/08/2010 19:27

as long as it's not my DH...

InWithTheITCrowd · 04/08/2010 23:24

I'm an ITGirl - I wish I was hot!

phatcat · 04/08/2010 23:53

lol - a combo of Moss & Roy = my ideal man.

nickelbabe · 09/08/2010 13:42

tiredmummo - omg! was I? Shock

I've been trying not to MN as much - I should be working! Grin that's the problem wiuth being self-employed that big pile of books that needs to be put on display isn't as intriguing as whether someone's being unreasonable!!!
I'll go and have a look....
