Boring office girl

So, I very much slacked on blogging about my work experience. In addition, I forgot all of the ideas for posts. Except this one.

The office is in a two-story building which houses the company I work for and three others. It was a little awkward running into people I didn't recognize, because they never said anything to me. After working there for about a week, I noticed that there was a woman who was stealing all my routines.

During my lunch break, she was out in the lobby, sitting on a chair and reading a book. That's what I wanted to do! Whore. I brought my book over, smiled at her even though she wasn't looking, and started reading. I saw her look over at my book to try and read the title. Mine was about independent film. Hers was a trashy gossip novel.

She looked like the most boring person in the universe. She never got phone calls, she wore conventional and super-boring office clothes, and her hair was just as quiet as she was. But in spite of all these undeniable flaws, she glanced at me as though she was better than me. I assume this was a form of her jealousy (no one is better than me).

For the rest of my temp assignment, I would go out and sit on the chair, reading my book. She read her book much faster, I can assume this is because she has nothing to do after work. I let her look at me uncomfortably as I sat in very unprofessional positions (i.e. taking my shoes off and sitting with my feet on the chair).

It got pretty bad when one day I walked into the bathroom as she was leaving a stall. MY stall. Bitch! I used it anyway, but I made sure to put a toilet cover on it.
