"I swear, this new employee is driving me up the wall. Her work ethic is terrible!" Jill ran her hand through her hair in exasperation. Jill liked complaining to Polly. They weren't quite friends, but they were the only people in the building they could talk to on their shift.
"She'll get better; don't worry too much," Polly said, handing Jill some books to organize. "You've got to give her a chance."
"She's been here a week. She's done the minimum amount of work possible!"
"You're fussing too much." Polly pushed her glasses up her nose.
"Ugh." Jill frowned, lower lip sticking out slightly. Jill was but she really didn't have any charm. Or patience. "She doesn't speak to us. It's as if she thinks she's better than us."
"You're being judgmental." Polly wandered off to begin shelving books. Jill followed, obviously not done whining.
"She doesn't listen to anything I say!"
"Maybe if you told her nicely…"
"She doesn't present herself for work. No makeup, she doesn't do her hair. It's as if she doesn't want to have to interact with other people!"
Polly could only shake her head when they found the girl, sitting on the ground against a shelf, scanning the pages of a book and turning them at an alarming speed. It was hard to believe she was reading.
The girl didn't even seem to notice them till Jill barked, "Get back to work Sheska!"
Poor Sheska, Polly thought. She just wasn't cut out for work.
