A verbal attack from a co-worker from a different department over coffee creamer, of all things. She has never liked me, since before I started there. Before I worked there, she would glare at me when I would stop in to visit hubby and Chris. After I started working there part time, she really seemed to snarl. Then when I came on full time, she really stepped it up, all without ever actually speaking to me.
She doesn't like anyone, and has a generally surly disposition. She is used to bullying people and them doing what she says just to keep her from going at them. When she started in on me over using the coffee creamer, I told her it was there for everyone to use, and it was for hubby's coffee anyway since it was my day off and I'd brought him breakfast. She kept going about how I was doing it to spite her. Yeah, I think vindictive thoughts when I am getting coffee creamer.
I told her I wasn't going to argue with her, which made her even more irate. Hubby said something to her about stopping, because she was in an area where guests could hear her and he was in charge of the area she was in and it is his job to keep the area calm and professional. Then she attacked him, so he told her he had every right to step in, and why. She launched at me again, and I told her I wasn't going to argue with her, and turned my back. She barked a while then eventually wandered off.
As far as I know, we aren't in kindergarten, or even high school, and petty dramatic crap isn't necessary. I can only guess she has it out for me because the boss and I are friends. We, however, are capable of keeping it professional as a boss and employee relationship while on the clock, and friends when not on the clock. I am sure after today she is really going to try, but I am good at ignoring people.
