*plants starting to come up in my planters

There's a woman at work who is very difficult to work with. She ignores requests for information, or goes on the attack if you ask her questions, and twists everything around. Also, if you make any kind of error, she throws it in your face.

The other day, I think she overheard me saying something about finding her difficult to work with. That was my fault - I should not have spoken about that except in a private place. Anyway, since then she has been hostile. The other day I went up to the kitchen to heat my coffee/decaf and she was there. I said good morning and she grunted at me and stormed out. Yesterday I was assigned to be in a discussion group with her. I pulled my chair over and told her I'd been assigned to the group and she said, under her breath "That's what I was afraid of."

In the past, I would have been very upset that someone didn't like me. But the fact is, I don't like her, so it really shouldn't matter if she likes me or not. What does matter is the hostility. There are a couple of people I don't like or trust at work, but I am civil to them. Fortunately, she was civil to me once we started on our assignment, but it was uncomfortable. However, I survived and I am not feeling hurt. I am probably going to have to speak to my supervisor, who also supervises her, because she is not responding to my request for information, and I may also tell her that I prefer not to be in a focus group with her, but if I need to work in a group with her, I can be professional.

It's such a relief not to be fretting about someone not liking me. It used to be so devastating.
