OT- I Need To Vent Too Dammit!
Posted: Sat Dec 22, 2007 6:58 amYesterday at work, somone brought a gift for my boss. I didn't recognize the person, and asked who should I say this is from? At first he wouldn't tell me, other than saying "when she sees it, she'll know." Finally though, he said tell her it''s from ******; at least that's what I thought he said, more on that later.
Upon seeing it, she immediately inquired as to who brought it.. When I couldn't tell her based on the limited information I had she became upset saying she had to know who it was from, and that she wasn't going to tell me why. Again I repeated the information that I knew and left it that. After work she calls me to request a favor. She told me that I need to redeliver the gift back to **** *******because the gift was from someone that she couldn't stand. How she came to this assumption I'm not sure, since the name (a first name only) I told her that was told to me was not one she recognized. I also described the person and she didn't recognize the decription either.
Flash forward to today. After being called for the upteemth tim about this that and the other (not on company time btw), she calls me irate because apparently the gift was from a friend. She also said I know this person. She said he said his name was so and so from so and so. The name I remember him saying was similar, in fact they almost rhyme. So now, I'm in trouble because of my "inability to relate to other people and look them in the eye." I also in trouble because i got the details wrong, which relates back to my "inability..." I decribed him as having a beard. He had a mustache.
My whole thing is I feel like she is in the wrong because if she hadn't over reacted in the first place (she wasn't sure who it from) and asked me to take it back then this wouldn't have happened. Call me crazy, but if I had a quarrel with someone, the last thing I would do is give them a gift, especially a hand made gift.

You need to set her up or something. Plant a bag of pot in her desk, then send an anonymous letter to her boss saying you saw her huffing on some kind of pipe out in the parking lot. 
Or, if you don't want to cause anyone to lose their job, get some dirt on her somehow and hold it over her head so she'll quit fucking with you. Make her give you a raise too! 
pen the mouse settings in the Windows control panel. Change "double click speed" so that it's as fast as it can go. 
Note, I said nothing about smartest. If I was I would have left after the first 6 months or the day after being told to not to take their "rants" personally.
