Too Lazy

Yesterday one of my colleagues who is based at the project site called up to ask whether I know there is a meeting on next Tuesday. I told him I do but it is not my job to tell him about the meeting. (If I remember I would tell him next Monday) Anyway he told me he did not know eventhough someone (I’ll called her CL) had already told him. He insisted that CL did not tell him. Two third of the month has passed by and if he did not do his report no matter if there is a meeting on or not, then he only has himself to blame for his own laziness. Afterall he knows the rules. It is not that today is his first day on his job.

He told me he would come back to the office next Monday so that I can help him to do his report. I asked why he cannot come tomorrow (meaning today) so that I do not have to be all stressed out on Monday to rush the report for him. He is among some of the site staff who does not know how to use the pc. And it is not my job to do the report for him but I do that so that my boss would not receive any flak during the meeting.

Anyway he came this morning and I finished the report for him quickly as the project has only started not too long ago and therefore there is not much to report. But the thing is after he returned to the project site, he told CL to help him to make his report looks better. Excuse me? You are doing your report at the last minute and you are expecting it to look good when you do not know how to use the pc. My, aren’t you getting too demanding there? For goodness sake just stick with it and hope for a better presentation or improvement in the next report.

One thing I have to emphasise here is that all these site staff think that I owe them to do their report for them and always ask for too much. There is another colleague who did not give me enough information and expect me to do the whole thing for him, or better still the boss to do it for him (he really said that). When I mentioned to the boss I did not have enough information, the boss called him up and lo & behold the information was given by him the next day!

These old men are simply too lazy and expect to be spoon fed! They think they can bully me to do their job for them. How about sharing some of the pay with me as well? Haha Don't even dream!
