[quote=Anonymous]I will try the dedicated time for cleaning and nit-picky revising. However, she still can't file all of our materials during that time because it wrecks my work flow. I have told her that verbal requests from her to tidy or even physically getting up to unfile whatever she just put away are interruptions that make me work slower.

I admit that I let her explanation of OCD cow me a bit. I wanted her to be happy sharing the space with someone who works part-time. I job share and am in 8 hours a week. The woman who works 32 hours a week doesn't share our work space.

I work on 4-5 projects at a time and they are in various stages of doneness so my desk and 2 or 3 work stations may have assorted pieces on them. However, I know where everything is because of the flow of the work (Location A is new and barely started, location B is halfway done, location C is almost finished, and location D is done and waiting to go  to the client). I inherited this system from the person who had the position before. I shared the space with 2 previous coworkers who never complained so I asked our supervisor was there a mess vs. a reasonable use of the space given what I do. He confirmed my position.

I have actually considered quitting because I am not dependent on this work. I use the paychecks to pay for extras for my kids. However, I don't want to be run out by a 25 year old who is a pest.[/quote]
