She Got Nailed
“There’s a bratty girl at my job who I absolutely can’t stand. Every time we’re supposed to brainstorm on a project together, she just e-mails her boyfriend constantly and sticks me with all the responsibilities.
~
When our boss gave us this huge assignment, she typed dirty notes to her guy while I devoted an entire afternoon to grueling research. Then she slipped out of the office early, leaving me to prepare for the next morning’s big meeting.
~
After she left, I noticed her computer was still on and her e-mail account was open, so I printed out the emails she’d sent to her boyfriend. Then I put all of my research in a manila folder with my name on it and all of her trashy correspondence in another folder with her name on it.
~
In the morning, I gave the folders to our boss and said we decided to work on the projects separately. When my boss went through them at the meeting, he read her letters out loud. It felt great watching my slacker colleague squirm in her chair.”
