That she annoys the ever-loving shit out of me; that she's among the most intellectually vacuous people I've ever met; that I don't care to hear about how the guys she dates are beneath her absurd and undeserved standards; that her fake laugh sounds like a zoo monkey being chainsawed in half; that I can hear the shitty techno through her dollar store headphones and yes, it sucks; that it's ridiculous to be disappointed that she can't take a three week vacation four months after being hired even if she mentioned she might go to Europe in the summer during her interview; that I don't watch to hear her complain about having to do hard work; that I won't pat her on the back for doing the ordinary; and that she sucks?

And she will want to stop interacting with you
That wouldn't bode well for me. She was convinced that another recent hire was constantly staring at her whenever she'd leave or enter the room and was ready to complain until I managed to convince her that he's just an oddly alert guy who tends to be alerted by everyone who does that.
Welp, it's your fault then, Bucky. You should have never had that much interaction with her to begin with.
Now you're stuck and she thinks you're her friend.
I know... I dug my own grave by being nice to her when she was hired (only three weeks after I was), and now I need to figure out how to climb out of it tactfully.
I did this years ago and forgot about it. months later the person I did it too was rummaging through her cube because something smelled like sweat.
she couldn't find it for the life of her.
then she called over a fat, gigantically fat, co-worker (she was very pale and one year got badly sunburned so we called her hey-koolaid) got down on her hands and knees and was like a bloodhound and she found it almost instantly it had turned to maggots and the grease almost ate through the formica or whatever the cube was made out of.
I was surprised it took so long, and it was glorious.
the person who worked in that cube knew that whoever did it hated them.
Lmao@ like a blood hound
That was my first reaction as well.
I've never really had to blatantly tell someone I don't like them and that I don't want them to talk to me, especially someone I have to work with.

Did you see the other thread about working from home ?
Millennial + female = one freaking bad combination of a coworker.
Highly recommended.
Report to HR that your co-worker is creating a hostile working environment. Document your issues in factual, non-emotive terms, supported by as much objective data as possible (for example, hours spent on personal calls or with music playing audibly). HR will deal with it. That's their job, not yours.
If that doesn't work, BHITB.
there are at least 3
I think it may just be your eyesight.
Bing! Lol

All fucking year, I've had to listen to this guy brag about the Warriors. So now, I've been blasting shitty techno, and he never seems to stop.
I laughed.

Next time, use a shrimp. Works very fast. It will stink horrifically within a week and it's so easy to conceal. (I never posted this.)
Good call on the move. We have a bunch of clear desks now, as some of the managers moved to a different spot. I do like 3 of my other neighbors though.
Shut, I don't know. She's a 5'1 foot Indian girl who's cute but not quite as much as she seems to think she is.

First you'll have to figure out how to get past the head swivel. Shit's hypnotizing.
It's scrumtralescent.

Better or worse than Mindy kaling?

I really don't get this new age tell Mommy culture that we have. I can't think of a more cowardly thing to do than not talking to her first and going straight to HR. She can't get a warning before he gets her in trouble with HR? To me that's absolutely despicable.
The point isn't to get her in trouble. If HR is any good at their job, they will resolve the issue to everyone's satisfaction without punishing anyone. The problem with santacruzom trying to handle the situation himself is that it leaves him vulnerable to a much more serious harassment rap than the one his co-worker faces.
I basically agree with you that going to HR is a weenie move. Unfortunately, it's also the right move.
You annoy the ever-loving shit out of me, honest you do.
Yes, some roses are red, on that you can bet,
But you are among the most vacuous people I've met;
Making love while on top, is a recent tradition,
your guys being beneath you ain't status, it's position.
It's not that I don't like the way that you laugh,
Then again I like zoo monkeys being chainsawed in half;
You music is sweet, or at least it might be,
On headphones worth more than a dollar oh three.
I agree that its unfair that a vacation you lack,
What would be much worse, though is if you come back.
You work really hard, that I can't deny.
But working hard at complaining is all that you try.
Your work should be praised, really it should,
The next time it turns out to be any good.
The bottom line is that, you suck and you smell,
And in terms of the former, you don't do it well.
Find an old Valentine's card and you are all set.
She caught up to me while in the cafeteria line and started talking to me about how excited she is to go to Europe, about how she can't wait to go clubbing there, how European men are just like SO MUCH MORE WORDLY than American men (may be true, but if so it's definitely true for European women as well), blah blah blah. When we got to the table she asked another coworker (a Dutch guy) when he'd last visited Amsterdam, and after he answered her question we started talking about traveling through Europe with no focus on clubbing or partying. Once the conversation morphed into not being about her or her interests at all, she didn't say a peep and actually left the table 15 minutes before anyone else did!
Hunt old. Stay safe.

I guess then this brings up a different issue. You can't confront (non-violently and non-sexually) a woman at work without it being Sexual Harassment?
