Kens write them and make sure they follow through. Otherwise there will be nasty dust-ups in the future. Although, you don’t have a leg to stand on, seeing as the goat has luxury accommodation in your living room. How will you explain that, I ask you?
Are you kidding? Benson is a natty dresser with his Boralino. Please.
CGar, try your best to go into neutral to think through what are your options. It sounds like the stoic approach suggested by etson will help you to discourage her disrespect and the strategic revenge approach by D-Cat gets your brain on another channel. But I like the HR approach suggested by Dave. Keep cool. And keep track. I would have no problems bringing in HR. People like this escalate. They torque themselves up out of rage, jealousy, paranoia, and can get out of control. NOT exactly the culture that your company’s HR is looking to deal with. I actually lived through something a little like this at a bank. The end of the story was that my adversary was escorted out of the building by 4 security guards, finally canned in disgrace after extended abuse of colleagues and brought on by HR.
Pete, there is no telling. What annoys me about the whole project is that no one has done a good cost/benefit analysis with the low interest rates and materials cost.
Here’s a medical analogy for ya, Legion. The economy was on life support when Obama took office. The fact that it hasn’t died, and is very slowly recovering is to his credit. Of course it would be nice if recovery was faster and stronger, but to expect it to go from having tubes down its throat to running the marathon in 2 years is absurd. Especially when Republicans are at the bedside with a pillow over its face, eager say they were right, it was dead after all, and it died when Democrats were in office.
Kens, I just started networking and looking again since the situation is untenable.
Dave, yeah, I’ve been considering the HR angle, since her personal comments are really inappropriate, but I don’t want to be known as that guy — could hurt me trying to go elsewhere.
jester, jackal, the one problem with doing everything she tells me to do as soon as she tells me is that the workload is beyond overwhelming, with which I don’t have a problem ordinarily. Love being intensely busy all day — I look up and it’s time to go home. But, it’s a game of whackamole with her — I’ll jump on 99/100 things she tells me to do, and then she’ll zero in on the 100th and pick and pick and pick at me for not doing that. That’s what she did yesterday.
BTW, if you’re wondering how I’m posting so prolifically now, it’s because, once she dismissed from the other assignment this morning, I left my usual desk and came up to my outpost.
In baseball and life, some people just don’t like you. All you can do is just show up. Few people will articulate the self-incriminating message, “You know, I treated horribly when I first knew you and I was wrong, but you still did everything I asked.”

Pete, re Benson: bad taste in clothes,etc.

I’m on for lunch. I just thought you already knew.
