One of the offices I work for is moving to a new location. I started at this location, worked at it for four years, until I was transfered to a closer office. Since they're officially moving next week, they have been packing things up through the week to carry five miles away over to their new office, and I have repeatedly offered to help. Yesterday, I made suggestions about helping, offering my truck to carry things, go grab boxes, etc. Every time, I was turned down, and the supervisor finally said, "Look, we need you to sit there and deal with patients. We don't need your help with the packing, we have this."
Cool. I turned around, did my work, completely ignored issues they were having. They needed another set of hands a few times and would call my name, but I was suddenly busy with a patient or the phone or whatever else was needed. When they asked about packing some items in particular, I shrugged with no answer. Finally, the supervisor asked if I was going to help with anything, I answered, "Nope. I'm going to sit here and deal with patients like I was told. As you said, you don't need my help."
Today, guess who showed up with a sore back and hobbling?
