June 2012 Weddings

Vent!

Sorry I needed this a day early. I went back to work today and a girl I work with is driving me crazy! She's my age and also engaged. She's not getting married til August 2013 so she has PLENTY of time. All she does is talk about her wedding at work! I don't talk about mine because I'm only inviting my bosses and it's unprofessional. 

Today she was complaining about dress shopping. She said she walked into a store or something and saw a girl bought her "ex-dress." Meaning she almost bought this dress and didn't but some other girl got it (it's not like she took the last one the girl just decided against it) She's a total daddy's girl and she told her dad about it and he was like I understand you're annoyed. How do you think I feel when I see others driving a Toyota Tundra? She said her dad got one recently but come on dude thousands are made others are gonna have it. Her friend/co-worker of ours asked me how many dresses I tried on. I said I bought the first dress I tried on but tried on about 10 total. The engaged girl was like oh so you're a first bride dress? I was like um yeah. They were both rude and snarky about it.

Then she was saying how was she competing with 3 other brides for her venue. I don't care you're engaged. Good for you but you don't need to talk about all the time or make comments about my weddin that I never talk about unless asked. My boss said I could start selling to other people's accounts for our renter's guide. She was like Katelyn has a wedding in June so she'll sell to your accounts if you don't. My friend told me the engaged girl and her friend looked at each other and rolled their eyes. It's just rude and annoying how they come in the office and don't work! We have huge quotas this month and next.

End vent sorry it got long. I needed that so I don't snap

Re: Vent!

  • I;m sorry Katelyn. What do you do for work again (I think you told us, but I forgot)

    Does your boss see this behavoir. I wouldn't tell them about (don't want to be a snarky person) but I feel, in someway they should be made aware of this behavoir.
    I think it is totally rude.

  • I would be so annoyed at that too! There are several other girls in my agency getting married this year, but thankfully the way my company runs, I don't interact with them! If I worked in an office setting, they would drive me up a wall... And I would sell to their accounts, like the boss said. Especially if the engaged girl is slacking with her job, just makes you look all the better!

    Good luck with them.

  • I work in advertising at our college paper. It becomes an issue when they get on the computers and not use them for work. We're limited on those and my boss didn't hear it today because she was training a new girl. I will start being trained to be the next student manager so I'll address it then.
  • Honestly I would just talk to her about it.  Tell her something like please keep it down so I can be productive and work.

    Okay. Sounds good. I know it wil be hard to adress the problem to them, (at least I know I would have a hard time with it) so try to keep it professional. GL with being the student manager

  • I told one of our student managers. It happened a lot last semester and we don't need it this semester. I just didn't want a potential fight the first day back
  • That is funny! Thank you that story made me laugh. My co-worker is doing the same thing and I find it funny. I admit though I am happy and excited that I am getting married in 5 months but I only talk about it if someone asks me about it. By them asking it gives me the right to talk about it. I even warned my male coworkers that I might be talking about my wedding on the phone or looking at wedding websites. They just laughed and thanked me for the warning :D

  • @ calisel: I only talk about it when asked because I'm only inviting my 2 bosses. I keep my work and personal life separate and she throws it all out there lol. It's really annoying when she sits on pinterest and other WR sites when I need a computer
  • I'm so sorry you have to listen to her blabbermouth, especially when you're doing a good job of keeping details to yourself.  I don't have much advice for you, just wanted to say that I too bought the first dress I tried on, and only tried about 10.  Nothing wrong with being a "first dress" girl, we just know what we like :P

  • I HATE WHEN PEOPLE TALK ABOUT WEDDINGS 24/7.

    It's obnoxious.  No one cares.  There's not much to tell. I could go on and on.  

    I would be nice about it (aka don't say what I just did...haha) and say work is for work, so be serious and keep the personal stuff to a minimum because it's hard to get stuff done otherwise.

    It took all that I had not to snap. My boss told me when I interview for the student manager job (even though she told me I will be the next one) they'll ask what I expect as a student manager. This will be something I address. Keep it mainly work talk, be professional, only be in the office for work, etc
