Don’t You Hate Perpetually Miserable Ppl Who Complain Constantly?


My coworker, who I have to sit next to all day long everyday, can be very annoying.
For one thing, she doesn’t want to be here. She hates this job and makes no secret of it. Even our supervisor, the head of HR knows she has been looking for another job for over a year.
She tells interns, new hires, current employees and even applicants–anyone who will listen–what a “horrible” company this is.
She makes snarky comments all day long like, “what do these people get out of interning here?” even though it’s actually a really good company and would be a great opportunity for any marketing student.
All she does all day long is complain and fill out applications for other jobs online.
In spite of all this, she still wanted to be flown across the country and put up in a hotel to represent the company at a convention in Las Vegas and was FURIOUS when she was not awarded the opportunity to go. She feels like the company owes her something.
Just today, she complained to IT that her computer was slow. So they brought her a new one. My computer is slow too, but they don’t have any more…so they gave the only one they had to her. But she is still not happy, because, “the screen is so small, and my vision is not the greatest…” and she’s really mad because the IT guy wouldn’t illegally connect her NEW laptop to her gmail account (it is blocked due to company policy,) like another IT guy did for her with her old laptop.
She refuses to do any bit of extra work around the office, so any time extra work is needed, our supervisors know to have ME do it, not her. But then when there’s an opportunity for overtime, it is OFFERED to her as a courtesy, since extra money is involved.
She also eats hard boiled eggs every morning–about 3 of them. Which stink. That’s annoying but any time someone walks by and mentioned the smell, she’s in denila that it’s coming from her eggs.
And to top it off, she views me as her competitor so she takes any opportunity to make slightly bitchy comments when others are around to assert dominance and show off.
Any coping strategies? I want to keep the peace…

How Can I Fix My Portable Hard Drive? (please Help)?


Ok straight to the point. I have a WD 750GB portable hard drive. About 6 months ago, I stored a PC backup to this hard drive, I also had about 500gb of movies and the like stored on it. I tried to move something from the hdd to my laptop, it didn’t work and ever since then, this hard drive isn’t working. I have a new laptop now and I thought I would plug it in on the off chance it might work (I had previously given up on it) now I NEED more storage space, I plugged it in, it automatically installed the drivers and such as per usual, but the autoplay window never popped up, so I went to “Computer” and the disk wasn’t even listed there. Then about 5 minutes later, a window popped up saying “You must format this disk before you can use it” I cancelled that and went to Computer again and the disk was listed this time, but not as a removable storage device, it was a “local drive” so I right clicked on it to check the properties and BAM, everything froze (this is exactly what happened on my old laptop and what caused me to stop trying to resolve it) Also, if I “format disk before I can use it” the format just does nothing, it will run for hours upon hours or until I cancel it. So obviously the format option isn’t working either.
So I really need to know if there is anything I can do for it? Basically, whenever i plug it in, it does the same thing, it shows up as a “local drive” and I freeze up when I try to right click on it, so basically I can’t access anything from there. Is it possible that I need to change the drive number? as in “C: Drive” (if so, how would I do that?) no matter which port I plug into, it is always Drive F:
Please help, I can’t afford to get a new hard drive, and this would be so useful if I had this running again and would save me about $100 to replace. I have a HP 4gb laptop running Windows 7. I’m not super tech savvy so as much detail as possible would be great thanks.
Any help will be much appreciated, cheers in advance!
