Finally Friday!

I'm cool as a cucumber on the outside but I feel like I could pounce on someone at any second on the inside.  I can't take the hot and cold and the ups and downs of my coworker anymore and have had to leave for a walk twice this morning and I'm about to head out for lunch because I'm having a hard time keeping my mouth shut.  My head is spinning from trying to figure things out and keeping up with her but I give up and will go back to bobble head mode.  No more advice or trying to talk sense into her.  I don't typically B&M about my day to DH anymore but last night I B&M'd about my CW B&Ming...only to come here to B&M about it to you guys  The most frustrating part is her B&Ming about our boss behind her back but sucking up to her to her face. 

Ugh, it's times like this I am glad I have an office.  When things like that start up here, I just close my door and mind my own business.  I would just limit my contact with her as much as possible and when you do talk to her, have it be about the weather and that's it.

Also, remember, you can't control what she does or says so just worry about your own actions and not hers.

Thanks girls.  It's so silly but I was just super frustrated earlier and I'm tired of the games people play around here and I was feeling like I was in a Katy Perry video.  At least I'm on the sidelines of it all, for the most part.  The hard part is that I don't ever approach her to talk about things, she always comes into my area and I'm literally blocked from leaving.  I've tried to talk about the weather/change the subject or tell her that I'm really busy and need to get xyz done but she always picks up on the weird vibe of everything, if that makes sense.  

You are right, Stephie.  I just have to tweak how I respond even more and it will now be "Oh, sorry" when she B&M's about boss instead of "Oh, what did she do?" as well as other things.  I'm playing the part right along with her, in a way.  I learn this lesson every once in awhile and while I have pulled back the amount of info I share, I just need to practice more on this other part
