[QUOTE="Star*, post: 146302, member: 4964"] Tina, OKAY - I'm laughing here at myself with my little pseudo-Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) tendencies - and thinking I would have killed her by now. As far as working with the lights out - that is against OSHA regulations - adequate lighting must be provided at all times for workers. If someone should trip with those lights out - it's SUE city. She wouldn't be held liable - the office would. As far as the tapping and humming and such - I think you've handled that. As far as the perfume - I would get together with the others that are offended by it - the next time she sprays - all of you just face her and say - WE NEED TO TALK - and don't be ugly - just confront her. There are tactful ways to have her stop doing what she is doing - and as far as a light - Ask her which office supply company DELIVERS - you should NOT have to take YOUR time to go get a lamp! OR your gas. That's just poopy. I like to have a lamp in my office - it' makes it homier - but I have a little crystal lamp and matching shade coordinated with the signed artists prints on my wall - ANNOYING OFFICE HABITS? Try working with 4 men who chew and spit - I finally brought a pop box bottom to cover my trash can - makes me gag - and they leave their spit cups all over .....And they ALWAYS ALWAYS USE my bathroom. It's cleaner - ARGH - yeah it is because I clean it! Now I don't clean it. I bought lysol wipes, and sani covers for the seat - (AND THEY STARTED USING THEM) so I hid them. Then I brought in some Bath and Body works hand soap - and left the Dial - for them......nope - all those big burly men used MY $5.00 a bottle soap - and I'm low man on the totem pole here in pay - So no more "happy" soap, no more spitting in my trash can and no more free maid service - I called a service - they want $200 a month but do you think anyone would COMP ME for the work I've done for the last year keeping this stye clean? Nope -but will give them $200 - Soon I am going to sign the contract - it's just a matter of principal But - I finally won the war on NO SMOKING IN THE WAREHOUSE = the bosses newborn and child come in and I said I could smell it in the office was he sure he wanted that around THEM?
