Just because I want to complain: I have a co-worker who drives me crazy.

Posted by ralph wiggum (aka Wiggum17) Oct 29 '08, 07:11

She semi well intentioned, but is always trying to over control various people/situations.

Although she is not my supervisor, she will often take it upon herself to quiz me about my workload or try to insist that I go home early because she thinks been working too hard. In theory, this shows concern for my well being, but it's really her attempt to assert her (perceived) authority over me.

Her latest foray into my personal space involved her relentlessly quizzing me about when the last time I had been to the doctor for a complete health check up(?!) (Note that I have not missed work or complained of feeling unwell.) When I tried to blow her off, she persisted, wanting to know when I was planning to make an appointment and telling me that I needed to make sure to take care of myself. WTF?

I used to work with someone like this (just last year). She was always telling me to go home early. - Diva Oct 29, 07:19

maybe she feels that your body is a wonderland? - tRuMaN Oct 29, 07:14 1
- I've learned to answer all enquiries with "Great!". It doesn't deter her completely, but it gives her less to work wtih. nm - ralph wiggum Oct 29, 07:18
You should send her an Email with lots of expletives and threats so she'll leave you alone. -- nm - secretslacker Oct 29, 07:13
