#my supervisor literally said they shouldn't be touching things on people's desks

[helianskies]

actually very pissed off. just got to my desk and it seems someone has come in to clean. in the process, they have moved things around on my desk including a monitor, my plant and sticky notes, and binned a bottle i had kept on my desk PURPOSEFULLY so i could reuse it, as it was a big bottle that i actually brought ALL THE WAY BACK FROM ITALY with me last year. for 10 weeks i have worked here and never has anyone touched shit on my desk or cleaned in our office. i'm actually upset. i am seriously upset. GIVE ME BACK MY ACQUA PANNA YOU ASSHOLES.

#who the fuck do i crucify for this one huh #my supervisor can sense my disdain he knows im mad in ny corner #and i know it might sound silly over an empty bottle of watee #but i repeat: i brought it back from italy. yesterday was the first time i opened it after buying it at bergamo airport in august #i left it on my desk tucked BEHIND my laptop amongst my paperwork and other goodies i keep on my desk #and someone from estates came in and decided they were going to fucking bin it ?? #im getting mad again #theyre lucky i have another bottle at home #but that is BESIDE the point #my supervisor literally said they shouldn't be touching things on people's desks #TOO RIGHT #IF I WANTED TO BIN IT. I WOULD HAVE PUT IT IN THE BIN I SIT 1 METRE FROM AND PASS ON MY WAY OUT #getting worked up #annoying #so annoying #helia rants #and commits bloody murder #just as i was getting better at hydrating myself... they take away the only thing i had to fill up with water.... #so now i have to wait until lunch...... to get a drink that isnt tea or lemon fanta......... #im still mad btw can you. can you tell.

Ok so I have a coworker who is nice we get along and work well together but I've started to notice he doesn't treat my other coworkers like he treats me (when I asked my other coworkers they all said he doesn't talk to them or is rude to them/basically doesn't give them the time of day or listen to them if they give him a job to do. He's on probation before the library decides to keep him on. He's been here two months I think, and I've been there a year.)

And he's always jumping to help me with my work or dropping what he's doing to try and help me. He'll get me paperwork I need before I even get up from my chair and recently he literally got up from the far side of the desk (it's a long desk and we were sitting at opposite ends) to come over, reach between me and the computer (I had the paperwork I was working on sitting on the keyboard) and go file it away before I was even done with writing it out. The space between me and the computer was small so he had to get very close to reach his hand in between to grab the papers and the desk is just below waist level so it was very close to an uncomfortable spot, but thankfully not touching anything.

He's just constantly in my space even after I spoke with my supervisor about it and he stopped for a little bit but he started doing it again. He stares at me when I'm looking up a patron who says they have a boo on hold and he waits by the shelf to grab it before I can even get up.

He ignores patrons to help me with my work and I've had to tell him multiple times to leave it be and help the person waiting because I don't want to make people wait for no reason if someone is available to help. He purposefully clears his throat and makes noise to talk to me or get my attention when I'm trying to do any work I have to do at all (I don't mind talking while I work but I always make it clear I'm going to do what I need to do while we're talking so I apologize if it seems like I'm ignoring you.) I have to constantly tell him to face the door in case someone comes in, don't turn your chair to face me instead. Yes, I like unsolved historical murder mysteries too but the extent that he talks about them has my other coworkers worried.

I was doing a library card and before I could even get out of my chair he was standing there handing me all the paperwork I needed and I got so overwhelmed my supervisor had to walk me through the process because my hands were shaking. During my break I went to the break room and cried because I was so embarrassed that I couldn't handle something I knew how to do a thousand times over.

We were talking about books and movies and actors that we liked and recently he lent me a book he wrote because I mentioned I liked the genre and he also gave me a list of other things he wrote to pick from with his email and told me to pick one and email him so I could read it and give him feedback.

I don't mind sharing/giving feedback on writing pieces and at first I did ask if it was on good reads to see if I could pick up a copy of his book at a library if the one we work at didn't have it and he was like oh no I never published it officially it shouldn't be on good reads at all and I was like oh okay and then the next day he handed me the book and now I don't know what to do because I know I originally said I would love to read it but with his recent behavior around me and my other coworkers telling me he doesn't do the same with them I don't know what to do.

He tried lending me a book all about unsolved serial killer cases and I flipped through it at the desk, gave him back the book and said thanks but I'll look at it on my own time- I wanted to see if they had Happy Jack (Jack the Ripper wannabe who was very short lived and never caught but his motif was a smiley face) listed in the book but they didn't and he proceeded to tell me about how most of the crimes listed in the book were sexual in nature. One of my other coworkers said he writes really weird stuff that makes her uncomfortable just to think about. Another coworker has to redo all the work he does because he does it wrong and is rude to her when she asks him to please fix it.

He asked what I was doing over the weekend as just a general question which is fine and I mentioned I was going to go out with my boyfriend. He proceeded for the next few days to talk about a girl he was talking to online and showed me this ring he has that's supposed to represent he's single and looking to date or sometime that.

He's never touched me or been rude to me but he gets in my space so much even after the supervisor spoke with him about it. I have not kept a written record of anything because I didn't think about it at the time and I don't know how to breach this topic without upsetting anyone.

#sophia talks #work stuff #i just don't know what to do anymore #i'm pretty sure if i get asked about his behavior again i'm gonna cry #delete later #personal
