I LOVE my job, it's great. No, really, it is...
but I have a coworker who has no understanding of Sarcasm (aka my "Love Language") so it's hard for us to communicate. And then she tries to be funny, and she just isn't. Plus she is super needy, she hates being in her office alone, so she keeps coming into my office to chit chat. I am an introvert of epic proportions, I don't do small talk. I like quiet. She thinks this is "fixable" if she just keeps talking at me. (key phrase AT ME because she really doesn't want a conversation, she just wants to hear herself talk). If you tell her that it's not a good time to talk it's like I've kicked her dog. She gets upset. I get wanting to have a good working relationship or a friendsihp (I do think she is lonely and that work is where she gets her human interaction) but I need to be able to get my work done!
Today's thing was she followed me around and treated me like I was a complete moron who doesn't know how to do my job (mind you she is not my supervisor) after 6 hours I'd had enough and when I stayed late to meet a client I guess I did rudely tell her that no I did NOT need her help I was more than capable. I did say "please leave" but I do have issues with tone of voice.
So now I feel bad... this is my problem. When I stick up for myself I don't do it "right" and I end up feeling bad.
Didn't mean to rant, guess I needed to though. Cookies to those that read this lol
