As a member of management certain things are just par for the course. A production manager will always have at least one work place nemesis who wants to see them fail. A production manager will always have at least one disgruntled worker who will do everything in their power to get your job. A production manager will always have at least one enemy who hates you for no reason whatsoever.
My enemy happens to work right outside my area within a neighboring production cell. All day I see her over there, glaring in my direction as I pass by her. Purposely, from time to time, I find myself dismissing her very existence, I know this absolutely infuriates her, which makes me smile.
My enemy hasn't always been an enemy to me, for a long time, I didn't even know she existed. Then, one fateful day, the radio incident occurred, and from that day forward, she has been my enemy. She has hated me from the depths of her soul, hated me to the point that she flattened 2 of my tires on my vehicle, hated me to the point where, when she discovered that she has recently started using the same daycare that I use, she began probing my daycare lady for information on me.
In this all I have remained as I always have, aloof to the situation, acting as if her actions and behavior are beneath me.
Today, however, my enemy has been going out of her way to be pleasant and friendly to me. She has initiated conversation with me on 2 occasions throughout the day and actually smiled in my direction.
Something is up!
Sophia and I have been noticing a difference in her behavior, among others within the production floor as well. It's almost as if we've been plucked from our normal, production floor existence, and dropped into a Twilight Zone alternate existence where everyone likes us. An engineer had stopped by to visit with us for a few today, and, in the midst of the conversation, he had asked if, in any way, had he ever slighted or ignored any of the needs or requirements of my areas, or if he had ever left us out to dry. I was surprised by his comment, and responded that no, I felt he was fairly alert to our issues and that when we had needed help in the past he had always come through.
I have to say, it has left me wondering about the sudden abnormal behaviors.

People, in general, fear the threat of a Panther attack...could that be it?
It does seem odd...I'd say that women can't be trusted, but I too am afraid of a panther attack. If it were just here I'd think she was plotting, but with so many people acting different someone must have put the fear of God into them...maybe the New Guy spread a rumor that made everyone scared for their jobs.
Or maybe it's the panther...
I knew the panther was a good idea!!
The woman definitely can't be trusted. She's young yet, so, I'm certain she doesn't realize that her cheesy smile and overtly feminine ways aren't going to cloud my judgement one bit, unlike, say, a man who only thinks with one part of his anatomy, that being the head that does not sit atop his shoulders. LOL!
This one time I thought with the head on my shoulders and I wound up lost for three days with no porn. It was horrible.
Anyway, what could she possibly be up to??? Maybe you could get Spicegirl to find out...not sure who she is really, but the pink pumps and nigthmarish hair sound exciting.
Spicegirl is my boss, I think I'll avoid asking her if at all possible. LOL
