As if I don't have enough bs going on in my life right now, my co-worker is trying to set me off. Granted nobody at work knows whats going on in my personal life. She hasn't spoken to me in over 4 years. We used to sit across from each other, the big boss separated us by putting her on the other side of the office. So there is a wall of cubicles separating us. I have been here for 16 years, and for 16 years I have the radio on. I can't get internet radio anymore, so I put the radio back on the widow sill, a few months ago. The volume has not been touched since then, well she thought I was leaving the office, I walked in to find her adjusting the volume. It was so low I couldn't hear it while I am typing so I moved it closer to me, still had to struggle to hear it. I just turned it up and when she leaves I am going to her side of the office to hear how loud it isn't. I hope this girls hatred of me rots her soul.

" did she see you catch her in the act? either way, she sounds like a petty person and be glad you're not as petty as her. I'd have been tempted to say please do not touch my things. "

" hi...i understand your frustration.
i think, for the sake of politics, you'll have to approach her without anger. i think it's a great idea that you go over to her side of the office and do a `soundcheck', but tell her your intentions, and explain to her you want to reach a friendly compromise.
if she's still petty and rude, despite your best efforts,
i'd suggest Led Zeppelin II, the lemon song, at full volume.
cheers! "

" Yes she is petty and I caught her, I walked up and stood there as she was lowering it. I didn't say anything. The radio is not too loud and Im not going to strain myself to hear it. When she leaves I will go over to her side and see. I will bite my tongue and not say anything. I will have to take the small ounce of satisfation that for some reason I annoyed her.
Thanks voodooguru they are actually Shiloh Shepards, "

" She just hates me and I honestly don't know what I did 4 years ago that was so bad. I walked over to the other side of the office you can barely hear my radio. The boss gave me some paper work so I said to him "I'm sorry if my radio was too loud, but ___ made it so low I couldn't hear it so I had to turn it back up a little." He had no idea what I was talking about so I told him, he knows we have an issue he went on the other side of the office and said, you can't even hear it and it doesn't bother me. So at least I covered my butt.
To let you know how petty she is , we all used to get ice cream on payday, she started asking everyone for thier orders except for me. She runs a football pool, I don't care to participate but my husband used to like playing my spot, she doesn't include me. Ya know if I did something that horrible maybe I could understand her hatred of me but I have no clue what the hell I could have done and since she never told me and I never asked, we just let the silent treatment escalate to the point of no return.
I feel petty for even discussing this but it does bother me, a lot. "

" I sure can relate to what you are going thru. What do people get out of treating others so bad. My co worker and used to be best friend knew I was sick with fibro and she pretended to care while at the same time stabbing me in the back.

It is still to fresh to talk about. I get so upset. I wish I could tell you what to do but i haven't figured out what I am going to do yet. God bless you. Peggy "

" This has been going on for over 4 years, there were a few times we were brought in to the office and we were supposed to do the "good morning" ect that only lasted a short time, we were told to "communicate" about business and she snapped out "fine but I don't want to hear about your husband, your dog or anything". I think my reply was "I have no idea what I did but you just won't let what ever it is go." Since so much time has gone by I really don't see this ever getting resolved. Thank you everyone for being my therapy, keeping all this inside really stinks. "
