I have never seen someone so paranoid as Roni has become. She thinks everyone is against her and accused me of being part of a big consipracy against her because I wouldn’t go for a walk with her.
Tonight she asked a supervisor a question – not even attempting to look up the answer in the many resource aids provided for us first. When the supervisor got a little snippy at her, she slapped the supervisor’s hand away from the mouse. Then when Roni picked the wrong number from the list the supervisor was trying to show her – she announced very loudly that the supervisor had given her the wrong number. The whole room heard it.
The supervisor tried to show her the list again – the right number is on there – and again Roni slapped the supervisor’s hand away. Yes, the supervisor lost her cool a bit but turned around and walked away without trying to further explain.
Then Roni goes on and on the rest of the evening about how mean the supervisor was to her and how she acted so unprofessional. I’m afraid I couldn’t just agree with her like she expected. I told her that no matter if a supervisor was wrong or right, you certainly weren’t rude to them or yell at them from across the room. I told her not to forget that she was the one asking for the supervisor’s help when the answer was something she should have known since training.
She has such a “victim” attitude. She went on and on about how it started with the main boss, etc. Then one of the people in the fire pod got angry because they were doing EMD and Roni kept interrupting her on the phone with the patient listening. One, it makes the EMD person have to say things out of order so then they get it counted against them – two, it sounds unprofessional to the caller – and three, Roni isn’t EMD trained so shouldn’t interrupt someone trying to give life saving instructions. Roni, of course, said they were picking on her.
I’ve mentioned before that I don’t need negative people in my life – she can’t be positive for the world. I tell her to take it easy – quit letting things get to her. She said she is just going to quit and then starts crying. I don’t know what to say to her anymore. All she does is complain. I can only repeat myself so many times about being more positive and not letting shit get to her – ya know?
