So, this morning I was at the doctor, which put me on a later train and got me to the office just before noon. It is now 12:35 and stupid girl just popped around the corner...
Stupid girl: Hi, I'm going to come talk to you now.
Viki: Ok. Hi, how are you?
SG: Good. I just went to the bathroom and was eating lunch [smile] but all I was eating for lunch was grapes. [giggle]
V: [not sure how to respond] Well, sometimes people eat random things for lunch
Then she replied with something else I didn't catch because I was trying to find information on a contract. I briefly apologized for not hearing what she said, just to be polite, not because I felt it was warranted.
This is work, not living in a dorm and popping over to your neighbors to chat. If you realize that I'm working and trying to get something done, why did you bother me with a story about how you went to the bathroom and ate grapes for lunch? I really hope this does not go on too long. Although, it probably makes for entertaining stories...
I'll write more later, or tomorrow...

WHAT!?!?! Are you kidding me!?! I thought most people stopped announcing their trips to the bathroom once they were out of kindergarten!
You are a better woman than I, Viki, cause I would have totally lost it on this girl by now!
hahahahahahahahaha! you should have a hidden camera and pod-cast your workday with this chick.
This is absolutely amazing. This is a blogger heaven...

I was going to say the same thing Sarah did. I thought that she was in the bathroom eating lunch... lol. Guess it's the fumes my brain is running on that twisted what you wrote.
I commend you for putting up with this gal. She really needs to get a clue as to what a real workplace is and how it functions.
Bizarre girl!
If you just said politely, I really need to finish this project, would she leave?
