..hated it if anyone talked to someone from another department
I had one of those.


I was asked by a member of her team to help her with a cranky laptop she was attempting to set up for a test. I was in the middle of doing so when I was grabbed by the scruff of the neck and frogmarched back over to my own section. Her 'did something crawl down your throat and die?' noxious breath hissed in my ear "If you *ever* come over on my side of the floor again, you'll be on a written warning!"

Apparently, she was having some spackfest of a schoolyard fight with our manager (a fat tub of useless lard who once, while trying to impress the director, was seen reading an SQL book upside down) over who had the best team him or her. The fact that nobody else gave a shit as we loathed the pair of them was of no importance.
