so, it turns out I work with a crazy lady
Not just run of the mill crazy, but the kind where everyone is asking each other WTF.
We had our annual meeting this weekend, and she was there. Over the course of a weekend, she
Tried to get at least 5 people to guess her age (52) and told them all that she looks younger than she really is. AW much?
Laid out by the pool in a bikini one afternoon while everyone else was in meetings, after making sure that she told everyone that that's where she would be. AW much?
Kept telling our mktg coordinator to take photos of her...for her match.com profile.
Asked IT to unblock match.com from her laptop
AWed her chicken legs
When one of my female colleagues commented on our mktg coordinator's arms looking good and squeezed his bicep (mktg coordinator is gay, my colleague wasn't flirting), AW inserted herself in their conversation and said, "Don't you want to feel my arms, too? Here, feel this!"
Kept staring at my coworker and me at dinner one night. Literally, EVERY time one of us looked up, she was staring at one or the other of us from the next table. This is when she started to go from annoying AW to a little bit creepy.
Creepier: She sat behind some of my colleagues and me in one of our meetings. She took pictures of us from behind using her phone, then emailed them to us without any text. You just opened her email, and there was nothing but a big photo of the back of your own head. Um, WTF?
She gave a 15 min. presentation, during which she professed her love of cats, and the Carolina Panthers. Oh, and something about good customer service, by the way, but let's talk more about cats.
There were other stories that I didn't witness firsthand, but the overall effect is that by the second day, everyone was referring to her as BSC, for batshitcrazy. I heard more Silence of the Lambs, Single White Female, and Fatal Attraction references this weekend than I have in years. Even the woman who never has an unkind word about anyone said, "I'm sorry, but something is seriously wrong with her."
I'm considering engaging her more in the office so I can mine her for stories.
Re: so, it turns out I work with a crazy lady
YES.
Ditto. be sure to ask her about her Match.com dates.
I read the title as crazy CAT lady, and was disappointed until the very end, when she went on a 15 minute tirade about them. I was expecting her to ask marketing director to take photos for her to send to her cat or something.
She's still BSC, which is good (for us)
I'm dying @ the photos of the back of your own head.
And whyTF wasn't she fired for skipping the meetings to sun bathe?

Because, in our infinite wisdom, we paid $500 to fly her to Palm Springs and back, $300/night to put her up, plus transportation, food, and beverages, so that she could give a 15 min. presentation. On cats, apparently.
When she wasn't required to present, she could have sat there to listen to others' presentations (and taken more head shots). Or, she could have quietly slipped away unnoticed and then sunbathed. But because she has as much sense as a friggin cantaloupe, she opted to tell everyone that we could find her by the pool, wearing her bikini (this was mentioned several times), when the rest of us were done.
I don't believe anyone took her up on her offer.
