We have an executive assistant here at our company who is just unbearable. She is rude, gossips constantly, and is a busy body who just will not concentrate her efforts on her own life. We have doctors who will call me and ask that I please not tell them that I need to talk to HER. Other people in the office ask how I deal with working so closely with her. Mostly, I have told them that I feel sorry for her, and how it must be rough to be such an unhappy person and lead such a lonely life.
