Ugh! What a pain.

Okay, I'm going to have to log out or I'm going to start acting like Amanah. LOL! Every time she asked me something, I would answer, "Jess, for a couple of days."

Re: Coworker Spat

Seriously, be very kind to her. She obviously has problems playing well with others.

I agree, but ILG doesn't have to give in to the keyboard business in order to be kind. I would bring her a coffee and smile and compliment her new sweater, but that keyboard would stay exactly as I put it.

It sounds to me like they need to have an office seminar on ergonomics.
