Work

The receptionist at my work is very weird. Sometimes she is super nice and sometimes she is just not.

She is older than me and was here before me - so she keeps mentioning to me how has seniority over me. Which is fine by me. I dont care - and she probably is senior to me by 6 months. Whatever.

Here is the thing though - sometimes I have to give her some work to do. I am always very careful to word it properly - I dont want her to think I am being bossy or just plain mean. She on the other hand will will say things as if - she is my boss. Which she is not. To some extent I dont even mind that. I do mind her being borderline rude.

I am worried that it has something to do with me being brown and her not being brown. She can be very racist and has in the past passed comments - not directed towards me - that make you think - "wha...t? did you just say that?"

Its annoying cause she is really good at what she does - but at the sametime - I wish she would be more sensitive. Not for the sake of being sensitive but b/c immigrants to this country do have it easy or are not lazy...or whatever else she might think.
