[quote=Anonymous]I have a co-worker who is drop-dead gorgeous. She works in the accounting department, and does a good job, but seems very shy and isn't particularly gregarious (or even very friendly.) Like all she wanted to do was come into the office, do her work well, be generally cordial, and then go home.

Several years ago she worked in the cube next to me, and all of the guys (older, younger, married, not - you name it) were ALWAYS stopping by her desk and asking her to lunch, having really awkward conversations with her, bringing her little gifts. They didn't seem to think of her much professionally, though.

And the older women were a little bit cruel to her, saying little remarks about the salad she's eating for lunch at her desk (well that's why Lena's so skinny - she only eats salads. Get a burger will ya!), or little comments about her work, or her accent (she is from Russia.)

She got married and had a baby (which quashed all of the lunch invites) and eventually asked to move to a cubicle toward the back of the office, so she wasn't in anyone's line of site anymore. I don't think it was because she thought she was so attractive it was distracting, more like she just doesn't like to be bothered.

The funny thing is, she didn't do anything to instigate this behavior - it was all projection from others. All she did was look totally gorgeous and slim all the time, with great style. She just is who she is, but other people couldn't seem to handle it. [/quote]
