since the old accounting clerk quit, they hired a new one a couple of months ago. i really like her, as she is funny and well a likable person, but ever since she started working, she hasn't been finishing up the work and keeps leaving it for the part-time staff to finish. at first we didn't mind as she was new and still learning things, but now i hate the fact that she keeps leaving us her work to finish. every time i go to work, i get soooo tired because i dont only have do my job, but finish most of her work as well.

last weekend, i lost it and left an angry note for her to try and finish some of the work during the weekdays and not leave it for the weekend. today i got an email from her boss (the accounting manager), saying that if there is stuff to do, it needs to be done over the weekend, and that if they have time, they'll try to do it but we are to never NOT do it if it's there.

i know they r not THAT busy during weekdays as i have filled in as a full-timer until they had found a replacement for the previous accounting clerk. i just dont know how to deal with it. like how do you tell ur boss, and ur boss's boss that the doing little things everyday is easier than letting them pile up and leaving them for the weekend staff to do?????

i don't want to quit this job, but i know if this keeps going on, i will just snap one day and tell them to go to hell. any advice on how to deal with it???
