I could just scream!!!

I did a favour for a fellow co-worker a few months ago, and get this...I'm the one getting yelled at and getting kicked in the ass for doing her a favour.

Here is the storey:

At the last childcare center I worked at I was Assistant Director so it was my job to complete observations for employees were were working on their Child Development Associate Degrees. Now keep in mind this person cancelled her appointment with me 2 different times. Anyways I finally ended up observing her in the infant classroom. Keep in mind the ages of the children were 6 weeks to 18 months. I completed her observation in April before I left the center.

Yesterday she called be screaming at me. At first because I didn't answer her call right away.(well excuse me) I was at work with about 14 kids of my own, not exactly the best time to be on the phone. Then I came home and ate dinner and was going to call her back.

Anyways she called me back around 8:00 and demanded that I fix a problem that was supposedly my fault. Apparently the age group for the observation was not filled out. I distinctly remember doing this. She said it was no my fault that she couldn't open her center because I didn't fill the paper out correctly. She then demanded that I call and fix this problem for her. Who the hell am I supposed to call. Keep in mind I have my own job and my own classroom to take care of.

Then this really pissed me off. She had the nerve to tell me that because of her sick son I should just be willing to fix this problem for her and that if I didn't it would be all my fault why her center couldn't open.

Bottom line: I did and completed the form the correct way. She waited to the last minute to turn in all the required paperwork to open her own center and is now pissed at me, because she told me to observe her in the wrong freaking room. Again not my problem. I also told her that if she got me the correct form I would re-fill out what ever needed to be done. But she refused and wanted to me to fix her problem.

The nerve of some people. I did her a favour and now she is blaming me because she didn't' follow the dam directions the right way. I swear people need to start taking responsibility for their own mistakes in life, and then they need to learn from them instead of blaming other people.

Couldn't you just slap people sometimes?!? Everyone expects people to 'hand them' things in life..but it aint that easy people! Life doesnt "bow" down to you! Sorry you got yelled at...she doesnt seem to deserve it anyway after acting like that! So if a child pissed her off would she scream at it? Hmm.
