This woman I work with really pisses me off. I'm trying to figure out how to best deal with her. I need to say something, but if I don't carefully plan what I want to say I'm likely to blow up on her… wouldn't want things to get messy.
She is supposed to go to lunch at noon and I go at 1PM, she's been pushing it back for a while now. Yesterday (she's the receptionist, when she goes to lunch I cover for her), so yesterday she's sitting at her desk talking to her friend until 12:50. Then she comes back in my office and says she's ready for a "quick" lunch. She returns at 1 freakin 40. Also, she'll pop her head in my office and say, "I need to go to the bathroom," or something of the like, and then she just leaves. Does it matter what I'm doing? No. Once I was in the kitchen cleaning things up around noon and I came out to find her getting on the elevator. She didn't even say anything to me, she was just going to leave the phones unattended.
There is quite a bit more that I haven't mentioned, but I didn't really want to go on about it. How should I handle it? Talk to my boss first? Then say something to her? (She and I are the only employees here) I want to tell her she pisses me off myself, I don't want the boss to get involved, but I'd like his opinion on how to handle this too. And I don't want him to have to tell her. My brain isn't forming cognitive thoughts, just sayin.
