I haven't seen it in a long time. That stuff is awesome. Just look for Willie on the label.

We don't usually buy Ben and Jerry's because it's expensive, and if the kids find it in the freezer, it disappears. But S. had a coupon, and he knows how I feel about peaches and cobbler.

New York Superfudge Chunk also really seriously does not suck, if you need a hit of chocolate.

I'm so sorry, Amy.

Consuela, I think you should start marking your territory in a wide circle around that woman, preferably by peeing on her rug, or at least by not being nice anymore. Being polite has gotten you no good so far. (This may be bad advice. I'm just grouchy and personally feeling like Not Being A Nice Person Anymore.)

I hope the rare Magic cards are found.

Consuela,

Zenkitty has a point. Is this woman super-Christian? I'm wondering if you had strategically placed wicca or voodoo artifacts on your desk if she would wig the fuck out and leave you alone.

Is this woman super-Christian?

Not that I'm aware of.

I learned something today that I found very enlightening about her methodology.

When her husband isn't doing something she wants, instead of actually saying anything, she pretends she's talking in her sleep.

Is her husband named Tino?

I am not advocating voodoo. Unless you can actually make the fetish-doll thing work. I just mean, fight fire with fire. Instead of politely responding to "*I* will be talking to X and Y" with "well, okay, keep me in the loop, then" try something like "Well, since it's MY responsibility, I need to be the one talking to so-and-so, and you need to cc me on any correspondence you might have" or whatever. Push back. She already dislikes you and you're "on her list", ooooo, you already know she's sabotaging you, so what the hell more do you have to fear from her? If it's your job and your responsibility, then you do it, regardless of what she's doing (or not doing), take over, run her over with the ruthless bulldozer of your efficiency, document everything, and if she has a problem, make her tell you in an email what exactly is her problem with you getting shit done that she's sat on for years. And if there are people who've been waiting on her to get their shit handled for years and you come in and actually do that, who do you think those people will soon be talking to? You. She can't "take over" and do a job without actually *doing it* unless someone lets her.

Or, you know, might be bad advice. There's always voodoo.

When her husband isn't doing something she wants, instead of actually saying anything, she pretends she's talking in her sleep.

OMG, if I didn't know better, I'd swear you are making her up. Sock puppets are more belivable than she is.

When her husband isn't doing something she wants, instead of actually saying anything, she pretends she's talking in her sleep.

That is the most ridiculously passive-aggressive thing I have ever heard in my life. That is sitcom material, right there.

'Suela, I swear I now want you to "sleepwalk" into her office and tell her off, pretending to be asleep.
