Forum Overview :: Still Life :: Co-worker #1

[quote name="foolio"]I'm not good at making long stories long, so I'll summarize by saying that I will gift her Machiavelli's <u>The Prince</u> for her birthday, and she will <i>pretend</i> to be surprised by the gift. But she won't be surprised, because she's a scheming devil with horns and years of experience and a large filing system that stores everything I've ever said in a fireproof vault in her brain. Rule #1 with her is to never say anything, <b>ever</b>, because she'll accidentally mix up a few words when relaying all this to my boss, simultaneously portraying me as uncooperative <i>and also</i> assigning all her work to me without relinquishing control of any of her projects, i.e. marginally humiliating me and establishing herself in a supervisory role. Rules #2, #3, etc. will be revealed AS I DISCOVER THEM THE HARD WAY, ALSO. [/quote]
