Perhaps I didn't word that properly. I mean, a female coworker who has all the personality characteristics of a Bridezilla who behaves in a Bridezilla fashion at work? I can think of some terms, but, they are not family friendly.
The latest situation, briefly. (I have written about this woman before). We are a group of six doctors. We share call. We are supposed to alternate one week day Tues-Thurs with one other doctor in the group, and all of us are supposed to alternate Mondays and the weekend. We are each supposed to have one holiday and one holiday weekend each year. We each have a weekday off. Mine is Thursday, Bridezilla's is Tuesday. The latest outrage is that she was on call July 4. She was supposed to have been all call "4th of July weekend", which, for most people would be understood to have been June 30-July 2. At least I would have thought so. Some businesses were closed June 30-July 4, such as where my husband works. I was on call July 3, and she was on call July 4, and this past weekend. She was asking me about "comp time" if we are on call on our day off. I guess she knew that I have been on call on my day off more than once for a holiday. I told her I don't know of any such thing. I also told her that if she gets any, she should let me know, because I probably have several weeks of comp time coming to me over the past 15 years I've worked.
The first Monday of June, the week after Memorial Day, as a matter of fact, I took call for her. This was because she claimed not to know she would be on call that Monday, and she had family visiting that weekend from out of state. What, you are a DOCTOR and you can't count to six to know what week you are scheduled to be on call? To make matters worse, I was actually one of only two doctors working that day (Can you say Dump Job).
So, the thing is, now she has the August call schedule, that none of the other doctors have. One of the other doctors has seen it (the other doctor who was there the Monday nobody else was), but it hasn't been distributed to all of us, and the office manager wouldn't let us have a copy. Yesterday, she told me she was taking call the first Monday in August, which is when I was scheduled, but I am out of town that day. I am still not sure if she means "trading" which means that she expects me to take her Monday instead, or if she's just going to repay me for the time I took her call.
Anyway, it is fun to be stuck in a life with a woman like this.
