Another irritation: "new" cow orker. "Is this done yet?" I'm working on it. "Well, I can do it if you want, do you want me to do it?" I'm running it through the process...it's not instant. "Is it done yet? I can do that for you." I'm trying to finish it, could you please close that student record? "Well, I have the record open want me to just do it?" No, leave it alone for a second, please.

OK, I've only been doing this job for 6 1/2 years, I"m pretty sure how it all works.

Sigh...it's good that she wants to learn, but when I do try to spend time with her to teach her she gets all "I know everything" flustered. It's "I want to learn" holding hands with "I know so much I'm scary."
