> Oh dear Susan, I swear That Person has been in my life. I think she's in everyone's life, put there to test us in oh so many ways.
<<Yeah, I agree. I have been in the presence of people like her before, but not in such close quarters. We share a suite of two offices and I have to walk through hers to get to mine. I felt bad for her cuz she had moved here from Chicago and knew nobody, so I started inviting her out with me and my friends. Well, it soon became apparent to me we had NOTHING in common, even before she started annoying me. And I still can't get rid of her...> It always amazes me that someone like that doesn't get the point, almost forcing you to be uncomfortably assertive.
<<I don't get this either. But that's part of my problem. I shouldn't expect people to react the way I do.>I guess that means you have to take it up another notch yourself.
<<Somebody here had suggested my going to human resources last month....when it was bugging me too much then. Maybe I should do that....> As usual, I'm one to talk. I still can't get myself to confront my next door neighbors and beg them to smoke in a different area so it doesn't come through my windows. Dealing with things--ugh!
<<It's weird, isn't it? But I think I would feel even more hesitant if it were my home. You never know what people are capable of, and these folks *know* where you live....
> You have my heartfelt sympathy.
<<Thank you. :-)Susan
