Mean people suck - I think she may just be yanking your chain - The above suggestions are good - But here is one more the next time she asks you the questions twice again on the second time say to her I have already answered that question I think thats all you need to know - Good luck with such a witch
No no no if she was yanking my chain then she would be the best actor in the world ! She has had issues with EVERY co worker with the exception of a few so out of an office of 30 she has had issues with 20 of them! She drives a nice car, went through a nasty divorce, comes from the islands, is about 56 has had back surgery, still wears high heels but looks like it’s hurting her back to wear them, wears clothes that are NOT appropriate for a older women to be wearing, has a Persian cat and also his/her photo of that cat on her desk and its basically her baby.....she also has a cutie little girlie sign that reads "I can do anything, if i have the right shoes" lol I really hope she doesn’t have a CD account because I just described her completely! So now since you know her imagine her talking to you RUDE but in a quiet jamacian accent and tell me you wouldn’t want to trip her on accident of course lol! Her hair is also black and wavy and down to her back kind of like a lions hair.....people in the office say she reminds them of a mean cat !
I worked with someone who on the outside, had a "perfect" life, spouse, children, grandchildren, fancy house, plenty of money, how could a person like this be so full of meaness? She must have had some issue in her life that she could not control, so she took it out on others. She would blatently lie about me, I was in a constant state of defensive mode to deal with her attacks. I just don't understand a person who has everything, why that person would want to pour energy into causing trouble, and wanting others to get fired. That is messed up to be that mean, for no reason.
I have a coworker like that. She is around the same age and is always rude to the younger coworkers and two other coworkers who have a disability (she says rude remarks about those two specifically but disguised as a valid complaint, even when they aren't even working that day!!!). She is always saying something rude and snappy, but tries to pass it of as just "saying what it is" and being down to earth. I tried being respectful to her at first since she is older, but now I just ignore her. If she initiates a conversation, I give a brief, fake smile, nod my head, and leave. I try not to stand around her (couldn't stand to). She is always complaining about me and others not doing any work and being lazy (we're not), yet that is what she does minutes later. And she is ALWAYS taking breaks. Some days I don't even get breaks at all, but she is the one always complaining about needing a break. Sometimes, she tries to manipulate people into doing her work for her. :/ I always side eye her with a "Bish, you better get over here and do your work yourself" look. She is friendly with the rude boss, who is around the same age she is and never listens to anyone. You ask her a question, and she gives you an answer completely unrelated. You then try to clarify and repeat your question, then she replies loudly "YES! Do what you want! You did that? What do you mean?" But, she really doesn't care to understand because she then walks off to do something else.
I can't give you any advice other than to just stay out of the way if you can. Limit conversations with her. If she tries to engage you in a conversation and ask about your life, say something brief, smile, move on! Don't let her pick you for information.
If no one likes her then how come she was put in charge? You and a few of your cronies may not like her, but, somebody puts their trust in her to put her in charge when the boss is out of the office. You need to watch your step and maintain professionalism before you end up getting yourself in trouble.

Agreed. And I second the stepping away from the emoticons. Is that how you write emails at work?
