My co workers are effin nosy

[sternroolz]

Ok, I work a government job. No one really works more than 40 hours. Its an easy job. The office I work in is totally subject to the whims of another government department. So sometimes we are overloaded, and sometimes I only have 5 hours worth of real work in a 40 hour week. And theres not a lot I can do about it. Needless to say, there are times when I spend all day on the internet.

I also should note that I have a reputation as the hardest worker in the office...LOL. I developed that reputation by working my arse off when my boss was out for 4 months. I did her job and my job and worked 13 hours a day during that time. Now I've worked in private industry in the past. I've worked and been around people who own their own business. I am well aware of what hard work really is...80 to 100 hour weeks and basically on call the rest of the time. What I did is a normal work load for a salaried employee in private industry. But to lifetime government employee donks, 13 hours a day for four months is a "workaholic".

Anywho, some of the nosier people in the office constantly stare into my cubicle and report to the supervisors that I am on the internet all the time. I think they are jealous over the recognition I get. And of course the supervisors don't say anything because its rare in government to get an employee who will do all work and not complain. They are happy with me and couldn't care less that I break minor rules. My work is always the highest quality in my unit and I never need supervision or help. If there is a problem, I always handle it proactively(ie bring it to their attention, not vice versa). So the supervisors trust me a great deal.

Still, it p-o's me that I always feel eyes on back(anyway I can see the people being nosy in the reflection off my monitor). All effin day long. Freakin people have NOTHING better to do but check up on me. Anyone else have nosy co-workers?

People really tattle on you for surfing the web? Wow, that's lame.

There's always one in the office. I had one, she was horrible. My friend's desk was right in front of the copier machine and whenever that lady would go make copies, she'd take her sweet time doing it. She'd literally stand there and stare at my friend while my friend was talking on the phone or with another co-worker.

I have many stories of that lady. She still pisses me off to this day.

Every workplace is full of assholes like this. I ignore it unless they happen to be management. Then I find a new job.

working for the government has both it + and -...what can ya do?

[gamblore99]

Maybe people don't actually think of you as a hard worker, but an ass kisser. Either way, a co worker who reports you for something like that isn't nosy, they just have no respect for you.

1 stopped the nosy crap by turning off my graphics, so no pics show up and it looks more like a program and also you can peruse NSFW threads without fear
