Annoying Coworker Has Left the Pocket

I started this blog begrudgingly. I really didn't see the point. Annoying Coworker is annoying and bad at her job. I just figured nature would run it's course and she would be gone. Well, a year went by and nature did not flush this person out of my life. So I started tweeting about Annoying Coworker and then started a blog. Well, I am, shockingly, sad to report that Annoying Coworker has been let go.

I mean, she has feeling and a family (I assume). I should be popping champagne and doing hand stands, but I can't help but feel bad for her.  I also can't help but analyze her going away email!  Take a look!

To: Kris and coworkers
From: Annoying Coworker

Subject: Good bye.

Good (space) bye (period).  hat does this mean? Does it mean she is happy to be gone? Like, "Thank god I'm out of THIS place."? Who puts a space and a period on the subject line? Hmmm, she is Annoying Coworker.... A space I can accept.  She was nervous and junk. But the period...this means something!

Hi, folks:


Hrmmp, there she goes with more punctuation. Maybe she's one of those people who over punctuates when they are mad. LOUD NOISES!!!! Is she also confused how to use a colon? Was the comma not available? Maybe she was redoing her resume and just got into the habit of colons. I wonder if she started writing, "To Whom it may Concern:" and had to delete it. Maybe she thought 2 commas in the same line would look silly. Grade: F Epic Failure there. Leaving that line blank would have been better.

It was good to work with you. Best of luck.


It was "good" to work with us? Not "nice"? or "nice knowing you"? If I got let go and I was treated fairly I would have sprinkled in some warm sentiments. Maybe not, "It's been a pleasure to work with you all" but something other than, "It's been good to work with you." Thanks robot! Good luck heading home to your pod. Also, Best of luck? Fuck you! Do you know how many mornings I've thought about cutting myself with my razor so  I would have an excuse not to come into work? Once! and that's once too many!! Grade: C. Learn how to talk.

But for real....Best of luck to you Annoying Coworker.  May you smell satisfaction and find workers who do not find you to be the most annoying human being on earth. With that, Annoying Coworker is out of pocket for good.

What does this mean for the Annoying Coworker blog?  Well, details to come!

Sound off below!  Have I been unfair to Annoying Coworker? Any last words to her?
