As I said before, its not only with me, but with everyone. Hard to sit and listen to her tell bold face lies to others and see them believing every word when she just told someone else a completely different story.
Since her daughter became a teenager, its gotten much much worse. Literally can not say ANYTHING without her having a story about herself or her daughter. Since we work closely together, there is no avoiding it and its gotten on my last nerve.
No promotion, she never will. In addition to her one upping and lies, she is a hypochondriac and misses a ton of work. Her father was a big wig in our company. He just retired though. I assume thats how she stays.
She and her daughter must be hollow by now with everything they have had removed. When her daughter was about 8 we were told she got braces. She missed days almost weekly for many months for orthodontist appointments. Fast forward 5 years and my daughter had to get braces. I left an hour early once a week for 3 weeks so she could have some baby teeth removed. 2 teeth per appointment, total of 6, and I was back to work and she was back to school the next day. She got her braces on about 6 weeks later. All of a sudden, my coworker needed a week off because her daughter was getting 7 teeth removed, all in one day, to get braces. I said "Didnt she have them on years ago?" She said no. ??????? Then about a week later she needed a day off because her daughter was getting the braces on......before the week off to get the teeth removed. I asked why she was getting them on before removing the teeth and she just said "Because thats how they do it". My brain cant handle this nonsense.
We work in the same department, but have completely different jobs. She would never do something I do and vice versa. It not a competition.
