Remember my post about the new lady in the office back in January? I have been extremely patient and understanding while she learns her way around, but my one pet peeve is : When I'm talking to someone, she joins in and takes the conversation over. I have had to bite my tongue and walk away three different occasions. Today was the last straw. I went into her office and asked her to stop interrupting my conversation(s) and taking them over by adding her storys, experiences etc. She always has to make a mountain out of a mole hill. Today she was asking questions that were a given. I'm the receptionist in the office and I asked her if she wanted to sit where I am. I don't do that to her or anyone else in the office. If people want to talk to her, they will. I told her I would send everyone that come in straight to her office so she can handle them. Instead of apoligizing, she told me how it was at her last office, and how more questions needed to be asked sometimes. And how her boss used to do the same thing to her. I've been at this place for over a year, her 3 months. I told her the owner has not complained about how I do my job. Then I walked away. I'm sure the owner will hear about this as another person was in the office at the time, and its a small place. Sorry, but I needed to vent. Glad my girls are here for me. This too will pass..............    |

Good for you.
I hope she gets the message and things improve for you. |
Sometimes you just need to stand up for yourself and say something...Hopefully, things will get better now...  |
sorry.
Doesn't working suck? |
| I agree working does suck....I am now unemployed having been off sick since June last year.....tum te tum wonder what to do when the money runs out |
Hugs from me as well. I'm sorry to hear about your situation and hope you find a way to resolve it.
I think you did the right thing by speaking to her about interrupting your conversation. Now the ball is in her corner as to what to do. A sensible person would have apologized as perhaps she hadn't realized she was doing that. A difficult person takes it personally and thinks it's your problem. I suspect she's the second type.
If she sees it doesn't bug you..sometimes smile and rise above it. That will bug her more. If that doesn't work..I could perhaps call my cousin Guido.
Good luck to you!
