So, I am taking this one night a week class for the next ten weeks to get an HR certification. K? And I come in a bit late but they are just so doggone happy to see me that the instructors just grin and laugh because they knew something I didn't. I had a 20 minute drive to get there that took me 40 minutes because of rush hour traffic going from Salt Lake County to Utah County. I didn't know it would be THAT bad. And then I drove all around this campus that I had no idea was that huge and had to stop this poor startled looking young lady to ask for directions.
So anyway, they are smiling and patting me on the back and just so nice and I take the closest seat to the door available and this....
sorry, I'm having to pause long enough to stop laughing....
this ...stick of a chick, lets out this huge sigh as I take the seat next to her. Okay, so normally I'd do everything in my power to get her to like me but do I do my usual schtick? NOPE.
So like this chick looks like she just walked out of a fortune five hundred office, perfect attire, perfect hair, perfect handbag all tied up with the meanest, snottiest attitude. I looked around the classroom and a couple other women were grinning at me like, I dunno...ha ha! sucks to be you, you are stuck with her!
So this is a four hour class all about the LAWS of HR and what not and we have this great instructor who is funny as hell and every time we all laughed at his jokes she wrinkled up her nose and sighed.
I mean, this chick was so toxic, I wanted to lean over and say, honey, I think you must have sat on a carrot cos your face shouldn't be contorting that way. Let's just say, sometimes people take themselves entirely too serious.
So I started to notice that every time I contributed to the discussion she had to try and one up me. (AHAHAHAHAHAA, if you knew me, you'd know I'm so not competitive but sometimes...certain personalities, I rise to the occasion just to annoy them.) And at one point, I was talking about the need for caution when setting HR precedences because they can come back on you. Well she wanted to argue that I was wrong about the procedure for reduced capacity work for injured employees, (tsk she should have known better, I'm the ex construction owner) and the teacher actually comes and sits on the desk in front of us and the whole class stares as her and I debate it with the instructor mediating. OH MY GOSH. Her face was actually red when I won the final point.
After that she'd comment after me with, "well in a big company" so I finally said (stops to laugh) "so tell me, what do you mean by a "big company". To which the ENTIRE back row of the classroom busted out laughing before they could stop themselves. It was hilarious...she got all flustered when I asked that simple question. I spent the rest of the time purposely saying little bits here and there just so I could hear her little sigh and then....
I started sighing too. Every time she did. I'm such a cow. She left with her head down and didn't speak to anyone when she left.
Sorry I just had to share. I don't remember having that much fun in a long time.
