OT - If you don't go sit your monkey-azz down...
Sweetie....just be excellent in all that you do. If you operate in excellence and keep your attitude right, then God will sort out the rest for you. Just ask Him to handle it, leave it in Gods in-box and watch and be amazed how the situation gets solved!
Smooches
Every time John comes into your space, be cordial and ask him a direct question.
"John, is there something I can do for you?"
"John, did you need something?"
"Hi John, what can I do for you?"
He will probably stammer and look a little uncomfortable. If you will do this consistently, it will become blatantly obvious that he doesn't have a legitimate reason to be in your face. After a while he will become embarrassed about being put on the spot and leave you alone.
And once John leaves about 10 mins later here comes 'Betty Sue' peering and peeping over my shoulder to see what I have to do that's so important. Once she sees BAF on my screen she's almost forced to run back to her desk and report what she saw (not her job mind you). Now all the other RATS are trying to 'walk' past my desk to see what's on my screen.
Now I need some plan Bs and Cs.
Hey I'm from De and you're right too small and too fake!! It's not about what you know but WHO you know, very political! I live in Charlotte now and love it! I also lived in San Diego for 12 years and absolutely loved it!! I couldn't do ATL, don't mean any harm to anyone who lives there, it just wasn't for me. Hell I was scared that a man would try to take my man!! It's all good though b/c he's whipped!! LOL
. Anywho, about your situation, I had one of those people in the office I worked at and I handled it by nagging them. Everytime they turned around I was all up in there space asking what they were doing, could I borrow bus money, lunch money, white out, anything. Everytime they came around I asked for something. They got tired of me and started avioding me. even taking the stairs so we didn't share the elevator! After a while they wouldn't come around b/c they were scared I was going to ask them for something! Try it! You may like the results!!!
