She even brought her schedule in to show me all the Saturday nights she was scheduled to preach. I am agnostic. I told her hell no, that I would alternate Saturdays with her as scheduled. This is in the south, and God is pretty respected down here, but I didn't give a damn. She could quit if she wanted every weekend off if she so desired. She did just about everything she could after that to make my life a living hell. She even set her boyfriend up to 'come on' to me. When he did, not knowing it was a scam, I told him that she had been badly hurt in a relationship prior (true) and if he was not serious about her to not string her along. Because I am a f*cking nice, moral, decent human being. I only found out later that it was a scam; apparently she had told him to get close to me and try to get me to say -whatever- (?) about her so she could use it against me. I was definitely out of my league with that one. Still, my supervisor accused me of being jealous of her about this boyfriend in a disciplinary meeting, so I was forced to come out to two supervisors, one of which I think was also gay, so that worked in my favor, although it was a violation but I had no other alternative at that point since she had my supervisor convinced I was 'after her man'.
Oh Christ, it gets better, I just remembered anothe part of the problem. I had told her boyfriend that he shouldn't be hanging around in our department on the clock (he worked in another part of the building) if he wanted to get a permanent job, as he was a temporary worker at the time...when someone gained full-time employment from being a temp we called it being 'hired on'. Well, I have a soft voice and a southern accent, so when I was asked to repeat what I had said to him, and I did, my supervisor heard it as though I had said to him, "if you want to get a hard-on...". I couldn't figure out quite what their objection was to me making that statement was until I went to h.r. about it the next day because I was so angry about it; it was then that the h.r. assistant realized what I had really said and straightened it out. Sorry to go on so much. Eventually this bitch, (and she earned that label many times over) gave up on her shenanigans to get me fired and faked an injury and was put on light duty for the rest of the time I worked there. After I left (I moved out of state) she came back into the dept and caused so much trouble and got the supervisor in so much drama that HE was moved out of the dept by personnel, because they were afraid she would bring a lawsuit. They should have believed my side of things, but no.
I think Floogeldy's advice is very, very wise, like in Cruel Intentions where they say 'keep your friends close and your enemies closer'; if you can swing it that is the best tack and I have just now in my late thirties developed the social skills to be able to maneuver like this, but it comes after years of bitter experience of being forthright and wearing my heart on my sleeve. I wish you luck. She will trip herself up eventually; if she's doing this to you she's doing it to others, but your focus should be on keeping your cool and your performance up to par no matter what. Best of luck. :hug:
