    happy personality conflice

    Finally...a place I can voice my problem. I'm a pretty laid back type of person. I work in a physicians office doing billing. I have my own office and so does the office manager. Unfortunately, she shares it with the physician and his wife.( on the days she comes to make out checks)

    The office manager annoys the HELL out of me. She's a happy go lucky type of person who forces her happiness on everyone around her. I'm sure you're thinking what's wrong with that, well nothing...it's the way she does it. She comes into my office singing, slamming doors, popping her chewing gum, throwing charts down on the floor and just goes into what has her so excited and no one asks. She just forces her stuff on people and I'm like, Who cares....the busier I am in MY OFFICE, the worst she is. Everyone has to share in her joy or you're considered IN A BAD MOOD. Everyone female, whether she knows you or not is HEY GIRL! and her cellphone? she leaves it wherever she is working and the music is SO LOUDDDD!!! and she never stays in one place. She doesn't put her purse or phone in HER OFFICE, she puts it in mine and takes off. I can't stand it. What does she think I'm going to do? answer it or go to get her everytime it rings??? Then when our office started to get busy, she hired her daughter to work with me. Well that made things worse because they both carry on with each other as if they're at home. The daughter brings food or drinks and her comes mom (the office manager) eating behind her or drinking out of her drink. They share chapstick, drinks, food or whatever here at work. They BOTH have cellphones and the daughters does the same thing. Leave the phones on their ringtones and just leave them wherever and it's ANNOYING!!!!!!!

    Then it's the I love you momma or I love you baby and they hug and crap here in the office. I'm like...GO HOME!!!

    Then the whole family will come up to visit or take both momma and daughter to lunch, they will walk right into MY office and just carry on a conversation as if I'm not sitting there in my seat working. I want to scream so loud, PLEASE CARRY ON THE FAMILY REUNION IN YOUR OFFICE!!!!

    what's a girl to do? This behavior doesn't seem to bother the other co-workers as much as me because they don't see everything I do and they really don't have to interact with all that I do except if the Office manager has to fill in at the front desk. Then that gives me relief because then I don't have to deal with her annoying habits they do.
