Y...Sadly, I think it's best if you just suck it up. You're not going to be next to her forever, and you want to really pick what you want to wank about in an office setting. I totally sympathize with you, but I think Febreze is a great thing, PLUS, go nuts and buy yourself one of those Glade Story Scents, and plug it right in at your desk. <BR/><BR/>Hope you're having a great weekend! Once you get that promotion, it will be clear skies, and clear lungs. Most people higher up don't smoke.Undercover Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16665520353750292526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17783080.post-1132354753858887102005-11-18T17:59:00.000-05:002005-11-18T17:59:00.000-05:00I have thought about this one for a while, really....I have thought about this one for a while, really. You do want to be noticed, but for excelling, not for problems. The fact that you're working is good all by itself. If there is a big move coming, the strong move is to suck it up, and wait to see what happens.<BR/><BR/>Now, to move into the Professional Leagues, go through the managerial ranks and volunteer to work on the move. Regardless of what you do, you'll come out ahead. Doubtfull you'll end up with the same cubicle mate, you'll have shown initiative, and as stoopid (I can spell it) always smile, until it becomes natural.

And all hate that I have to share a cube more than I do. And we are supposedly moving in the next few months. <BR/>And the rage is more than the smoke, I'll freely admit. <BR/>But this is the first complaint I can make that holds more water than "she bugs". <BR/>Further comments?? Maybe the temp agency can liason (since they are my paycheck, they are who I report to on the highest level.)Miss Sassyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03612087457756975590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17783080.post-1132247542406755532005-11-17T12:12:00.000-05:002005-11-17T12:12:00.000-05:00Try going to HR and asking to be moved.

Point out that someone else noticed, from several cubicles away. Ask HR *and* your roomie for help in solving this dilemna. Gets both involved rather than throwing rocks at your roomie. Makes you look classy, diplomatic, and there aren't the kind of hurt feelings that breed enemies.Montyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08411214359730227681noreply@blogger.com
