I would just be really cold. I'm cold now.
A woman has just returned from maternity leave and she always insists on having the fucking window open, even if it's winter. I want to say to her "you're only warm because you're so fucking fat!"

Lucky you
My office is at over 30°C most of the time because the heating's knackered and is stuck on full blast. Were it not for the social acceptance factor, I'd be more comfortable working unclothed.

Is this the one that you thought might steal your desk?
If so, did she steal your desk?
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Wed 18 Aug 2010, 9:08, Reply)

haha yes that's her
she tried. She said "I want that desk back" so I made out like it was a huge hassle to move and made out like she wouldn't like this one because the sun shines right onto you and makes you really warm. She said I can stay here for a while until she's 'decided' which desk she wants. Hmph.

I was out of the office yesterday morning and I was worried she would steal it when I wasn't there so I made it really uninhabitable. I put loads of really heavy boxes that she wouldn't be able to lift around it, I left loads of papers lying all over it and I moved the shelf so it created a tiny gap to get through, which I can fit through but she can't even get an arm through. I'm so passive aggressive :D

I like your moxy, kid
You make sure to keep up the good fight/petty desk-based fight.

Petty fighting gets me through the day
When she was away she had all her emails forwarded to me. Since returning she has forgotten to turn this off. I haven't said anything yet. The longer I leave it the more trouble I'll be in for not saying anything, do you reckon I should?

But the longer you leave it
The more fun you could have too...

exactly
I could find out some juicy information if I leave it, but I could also get really bollocked for it.

It's a fairly serious breach of privacy
Flag it now.

dammit.
fine. You're right, I know.

only if she's using her work email for personal use
which you're probably cautioned against in the email and internet policy for your company.

well she's now taken over again as the practice manager
so she could be having private email discussions with the partners about things like people's jobs and stuff so it is pretty naughty of me.

She's doing my head in, she's only been back 2 days and she's already bossing me around, forgetting that I've done her job for a whole year by myself.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Wed 18 Aug 2010, 10:14, Reply)

probably just insecure about her job
Now that you've shown she's not indispensable.
