Rant about a Co-worker!

So, first of all I need to explain my drab-looking layout. The other day I realized I could copy and paste cool layouts, so I gave it a try. As you can see, it failed miserably and I reset my blog to the default setting. Since then, I haven't had time to try again (and I still don't), so everyone will have to deal with it for a little while. Now on to my rant...

So, I'm sure most of you have dealt with co-workers who are a few cards short of a deck (to say it in the nicest way possible), but I think the economy is really affecting one that I'm working with currently (I hear the suicide rate increases in times of recession/depression). Her paranoia and lack of self-confidence has led her to start calling me stupid (e.g., she says crap like this to me: "do you even have an accounting degree?"...I should have replied, "Are you stupid?"), claiming she is the smartest person in the universe (she's the expert of experts on everything), and even telling other co-workers not to ask questions to certain other co-worker because they don't know what they're talking about.

Clearly, I ain't no idiot, so I tattled (yes I'm a tattle tell and proud of it) to a partner. Apparently, this has been going on for a while, and I am not the first to complain. To shorten this up, I've stopped talking to her because I'm tired of being insulted and, needless to say, she is freaking out. The other co-workers are finally catching on and are starting to make fun of her. I kind of feel sorry for the girl, but when she makes life crappy for the rest of us, I'd say she needs to be given the boot.

If any of you were confused in my anecdote, here are a few details to clear it up: I am the newest employee at my work. One employee moved to a different state and two, me and another guy, were hired to replace her. This has stretched our workload so everyone has less and the troublesome co-worker thinks I was hired to replace her.

...dont' we all just love drama!
