OK, I'm guessing a few of you out there have to deal with miserable, unhappy coworkers, who envy your healthy lifestyle and general joie de vivre, right?
Short summary:
She'd NEVER ever ask where my car is because I have my handy dandy retort, "what? is it annoying you that you can't keep tabs on me even though you're not my boss."
So today, unintentionally, I park near a building where I'm volunteering after work so again, I'm not in my assigned spot, and the secty tells me said co-worker was ranting about "where is she?"
My head is about ready to explode. WHAT effing business is it of hers what my hours are. Let's assume for argument's sake I'm supposed to be here 7:30 to 4:00 but really am here, oh, 9:00 to 3:00. If my boss is OK with that, really, is it any of her business?
I know, I know I'm supposed to soothe myself with that she's just envious that I'm a happy, healthy person, embracing life, but it's not really working, and a nice in your face rant is feeling really good but I know oh-so-not-appropriate -- though should I confront her?
I swear I'm gonna go postal soon over this. I can't totally avoid her b/c my boss likes us to all eat lunch together so I must be present for that......OY
Thanks for any words of wisdom and "listening"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Short summary:
- Work in extremely small environment -- about 25 folks in a 4 floor bldg, 6 in immediate office, though "praise jesus" I have my own confined office on separate floor
- coworker in question is a 51 y/o lawyer (so presumably intelligent) and extremely obese -- blankets hostility with humor
- our office overlooks the parking lot
- miserablecoworker (hereinafter MCW) has taken to making snide remarks about my "coming and going when I plz" (tho I'm always in b/4 her but then also lv b/4 her -- but that's neither here nor there, she's NOT my boss!!!)
- so warped mind that I am, have taken to parking away from bldg, just to fuck with her and lo & behold, have found out via the secty that every day my car isn't "in my spot" inquiry is made from MCW about where I am, blah blah blah. Secty replied one time: "she's here I've been instant messaging her." to which MCW said "Oh, don't let her fool you she's IMg from home!" Her jaw about dropped when I popped into the main office.
