OP,

I read your original post some months ago, so I get where you're coming from. This co-worker of yours is definitely someone to avoid.

However, please don't use disparaging terms ("crazy broad #1") in your descriptions because it really undermines your credibility. Don't show by look or by word that your think ill of her. You want your coworkers to know that you are totally "clean and above board".

For online forums, you should leave out the fact that she's overweight, even though it does pertain to the matter at hand because of how intimidating she can be, just because people on DCUM are very sensitive about girth. Also avoid hinting upfront that you are slim and pale-skinned and that is why she is jealous of you. Do you understand how these add-ons to your post attract snarky comments?

In short, know your audience. It's important professionally as well. You don't want to appear paranoid and unbalanced when complaining to your boss. Perhaps you have already done so, in a less than objective way, and that is why your boss declines to interfere?

thank you for this. since it;s an annonymous forum i posted how i really feel and think but i get what you are saying. i have not brought this up to my boss and at work i am continue to be pleasant and professional to all. i was annoyed at first but now i tell her good morning (even though she ignores me) like i do to all i pass in the hall. when people tell me how she talks about me behind my back i tell them i know this is her own issue and i pray for her and send her love and light because honestly being filled with anger was bringing me down. she stays in an angry mode clearly due to her own issues.  as far as me being so thin and gorgeous, this is not at all the case. i am old and have about 25 pounds to lose myself.

i guess i could contact someone in another buildling to see what can be done because honestly she is making life very, very unpleasant. she doesnt' have to like me but i feel uncomfortable around her for sure. i wouldn't be surprised if one day she lost control and hit me.
