About Me

Hi, My name is Sammie Duncan. I am 37 years old and I have three children of my own and three step children ranging from nine to 20. I am married to a fireman, so my life is not very normal. I graduated from Crowder College in 2009 with an Associated degree in Accounting and I am now working on my Bachelors degree at Missouri Southern. I work full time as a Staff Accountant at a trucking company, which I love very much. I look forward to my experience with all of this technology that I know nothing about.

Work Drama

How many of you have a Drama Queen at work that you have to listen to all of the time?  I have to listen to this lady talk about every detail from the time she left work until she came back to work the next day.  She goes on and on about everything.  I am the type of person that goes to work and leaves my personal home life at home.  I do not get involved in all of the gossip around the office.  She don't care though.  Even if you are totally ignoring her with your back to her, she still continues to talk.  It doesn't matter what you ask her about a certain job, she can somehow get back to talking about herself.  She wants everyone to feel sorry for her because she has had a hard life.  She is on her third marriage, which her first two husbands have passed away, and she has three kids.  I think she is on some kind of medication because she acts like she is having panic attacks or something.  I don't know, maybe she really is.  It is really affecting her work though.  With her being in accounts payable, she really needs to pay attention to what she is doing.  She has caused other people to have to correct her mistakes because she doesn't know what she is doing.  I guess I am just blowing off some steam with this one.  I hope you all don't have to deal with someone like this.  If you do, how do you handle them?

    I understand what you mean. It's hard to listen to people like that. I don't mind talking with people, but not like I'm their therapist. I really enjoy a good working environment where we can all talk, but still everything accomplished. If she's having trouble getting her job done, I think I'd show her exactly what it is, and where it was that she made the mistake. If that doesn't work, then as bad as you would want to, you might have to tell management. Everyone else shouldn't be doing her job for her. You seem to be taking it pretty well, I would probably have to tell her, you need to talk with someone that could really help you; I'm just not it. Good luck with her!
