I have a dream that one day, men will be punched in the face not for the color of their skin, but for the awful content of their character.

Well, Goodbye.

Kaldrak:

Lot of good advice in the thread.  Will note that it can vary on the supervisor.  Some do recognize little pesterings drain people and that's enough to hold a conversation.  Some are overworked or undertrained, and do need the added detail.  Iddy is right, Job being Done is the most important thing for a supervisor to be keeping track of.
Well, Goodbye.

Kaldrak

Thanks everyone. We'll see how it goes.

I have about three days of recorded incidents. Problematic coworker has gotten sick and that seems to have taken much of the snark out of her sails, so the past week has been peaceful for the most part. Not sure if I have enough to do anything with so I'll hold my peace for now.

That being said...

I've decided to reinterpret something in the overall situation. It's clear to me that my mere presence irritates my coworker. This means that she has granted me the power to aggravate her simply by showing up and doing my job! Ahh, revenge without effort. I can make her miserable without even trying, whereas she has to work to aggravate me. Perhaps I should not be enjoying this revelation as much as I am, but I never claimed to be a saint.

Hey, whatever gets you through the day. Glad to hear it's getting a little better.

Sunday night: "Man, I have a busy week ahead. Let's go to bed early so I'm rested for it."

Monday morning: "I slept 10 hours?! Great! But why is my throat sore and my head stuffed up?"

Nothing like a head cold to start the week.

Aye, Aye.

Still recovering from the plague I had all through the gathering.
Well, Goodbye.

There's nothing quite like coming down with a brutal cold right after having a wisdom tooth pulled.

I have this habit of finding something new to read, and looking it up on tv tropes. I then proceed to give myself spoilers, and that somehow removes the desire to read it. I did this with Worm and now I hate myself. Tv Tropes will Ruin your Life.

An old professor of mine analyzed demo syndrome to have similar problems.  It satisified the sense of understanding of the approaching game and reduced considerably the desire to pay for it.
Well, Goodbye.

Sick, sick, sick, sick and sick. I hate colds.
