?just one in particular, really. Yesterday at work, I was talking to my manager about Olive Garden?s unlimited soup, salad, and breadsticks (mmm?). My ?friend? (and I use that term loosely) asks who I went to Olive Garden with. I tell her I went with a buddy of mine after class and here?s how the rest of the conversation went:
Her: Oh?I didn?t know you hung out with him.
Me: We really don?t, but we have lab and a lot of classes together so we hang out on occasion?Mainly eating or whatnot.
At that point, I continue to go about my business, and she walks off and says (quietly, yet audibly), ?More than we do? in a very bitchy tone.
Other instance of her being crazy:
I was dating someone last semester, and I casually mentioned this to her but spared her the details. I brought something up to another co-worker about what my SO did that I thought was really sweet, and she found out. The day she found out, she called my cell and left me a message (while she was still at work). When I got back to her, she said that she was very hurt that I didn?t share stuff with her and asked me if I just wanted to be work friends.
I?m almost certain there?s more, but all of the instances just seem to mesh together.
Honestly, I could understand if we were really good friends, but we?re not. We went to high school together, but I didn?t start talking to her until we had some classes together in college (and because we work together). We hang out on occasion (doing the same stuff all the time), but we?re completely different people.
I would like to say I?m a pretty laid back person and can put up with a lot of sh!t, but if she says anything else like that to me, I?m going to have to tell her to take her head out of her @ss, which I know is probably a bad idea.
Any ideas on how I can handle this situation with civility...since we still work together?
Any less civilized ideas will also be appreciated.
Sorry, no cliffs, but I did break up the post in ?easy-to-read? short sections.
Thanks in advance!
