My new coworker has yet to hit a smooth ride with me. It's MUCH better than before, but she still tends to think SHE makes the rules instead of it being an office where two people work and need to BOTH come to an agreement. This morning started off by some annoying resident once again walking in to grab water. This is the same one that told all the residents she was talking with 'Oh sure, the water is in there' as if my office is a break room. This started a sip N chat session that I finally had to nip in the bud. I tried to assert myself as the alpha female only to fail miserably. She left pissy and I felt guilty. Lovely. I was simply trying to get her to think of this as an office she is okay to come in and get water from, not a public water whole. When I mentioned it to my coworker she said, "Oh, I told them all they could come in and get water here. I guess I should have told you. Sorry." Yeah, that would have been nice. I explained how I had problems with people being inconsiderate in the past and she agreed it was rude. She also said she'd clear it up with the resident. I don't want to come off as some bitch, although if you give me a week I'd get an Oscar for being one.
