Cube Neighbor...Crazy One...At Work....Story At 11
Okay folks. I went to my boss ASAP when I got to work and I talked to her about this problem. She took notes and HR made a note of the issue with Psycho.
I did tell her by email and mouth that no friendship could be salvaged. I was nice about it because I had my editor look at it. Any way, she comes up to me.
Her: "There's nothing I can do?"
Me: "No."
Her: "I told you I had a habit of screwing up relationships."
Me: "There are consequences for every action, though. These are the consequences."
Her: "I always seem to fuck up."
Me: "Argue for your limitations and they are yours."
Her: "Are you going to tell Candie or Margie?"
Me: "That would be my business. Again..."
Her: "I'm really sorry. I had no right to react that way or judge your life."
Me: "That's right and it overstepped a huge boundary for me. We can still remain professional."
Her: "Okay."
I was so proud of myself. I did it all without a cigarette.
So I did my work, she did her work. There was the sound of blissful silence and no ramblings on my phone.
I hope that she does get better someday.
