Hey, you...Mr. orange-hat person...
There are just some things that unexpectedly tickle your funny bone. Today, the U.O., while making a phone call to verify two staff peope's rights to access a lab area, didn't get their names first and, instead of politely asking the person on the phone to hold to ask these gentlemen a question, she calls out..."Hey, you...Mr. Orange-hat Person, what's your name?" I was in mid-swig on my mochacchino and nearly spit it out on my computer because I got a fit of the giggles. I actually had to leave my desk because I didn't want to appear rude.
I don't know if I've mentioned it or not, but she recently had a 3-day unpaid suspension for disciplinary action. The next step is either a 5-day suspension or termination. The adminstration can choose another suspension if they choose, but the required channels for disciplining a staff member have been followed and now the U.O. is on the brink of being fired. Although I feel it's justified, I still feel bad for her and her two kids.

I wish my office's version of the U.O. was close to getting fired. She plays solitaire for approximately 6 hours a day while complaining how busy she is and passing her work off to others. Fortunately for her she hasn't attempted to pass any off on me or I might have to pass on a video and numerous digital pictures of her playing solitaire at all hours of the day. I can see her playing from my office!
Don't feel bad about her and her kids...if she really cared about her kids, and really thought about her responsibilities, she'd change her ways...she's just digging her own grave, and one day--probably too late--she'll realize it.
