The meeting ended up going very well, despite my new coworker trying to make it seem as if she had to convince me to be a team player. The fact that she repeated the same thing over five times made it even less likely that they would believe her. I explained my side and my boss actually gave a sigh of relief. It was a miscommunication and she agreed that it was a grey area. W000! The rest of the meeting centered on Ms. Bossy (my coworker's new nickname) and her duties. She would try to offer me up and they would explain that they are discussing HER duties and that mine are set. I was tickled pink. She did throw in that I didn't seem that busy, which I wanted to slap the shit out of her for. It's really none of her business WHAT I am doing. Then she mentioned me helping with part of her work and I tossed it back at her (politely). She needs to understand that our jobs are different and while they compliment each other I am not her bitch.

Earlier in the day Ms. Bossy told me that she was basically told she HAD to take the position. Ouch. They offered it up, she said no. They said wrong answer. She went from being a supervisor to a party of one. No wonder she was so gung-ho about telling me what to do. The next step is to walk carefully around her. No chit chat, no discussion about the job. *puts on face paint* It's war, baby. Okay, maybe not. But still... *puckers lips* I needed to freshen up.
