Backstory: I have a co-worker who was once married to the guy across the hall. She is a "lifer" and so is he. Meaning they have worked here DECADES! When she first started here she was the young hottie data entry gal. Said guy married her and spoon fed her higher level computer stuff until she got a promotion to her current title today.

Both of our titles are the same. I've worked here just over four years but I have a lot more experience than she does. She relied HEAVILY on her co-worker husband to practically do her entire job here. Which has been causing CONFLICT to high heavens ever since they got divorced about 2 1/2 years ago. Her ex remarried. Which is also pissing her off.

So now her ex has started "backing off" and trying to coax her into being more independent on the job, namely, doing her own research when problems arise, testing the new hardware/software HERSELF.. .

Which is causing an epic battle. She wants him to CONTINUE to be her office husband basically.

So now the new manager's manager has decided to literally move her to another office about 10 miles down the road. Which is actually closer to her house by a smidgeon. She commutes about 50 minutes one way daily.

AND the manager is re-assigning her work duties to cover departments that she doesn't like. She currently favours ONE department only out of the four depts. she currently handles and spends inordinate amounts of time with that one dept. Mostly because it consists of handsome men in uniform. She IS GOING TO BLOW HER STACK when she finds out.

I've been told that I will be taking over her duties. Here we go. . .
