Bad Lady-in-Waiting
MY WORKPLACE (AP): Early this afternoon, a strange wave of silence permated the office where Kat is employed. Sources report that this was due to the departure of Bad Lady, which, as usual, was unannounced and abrupt. Also contributing to said silence was one Single White Female (SWF), who is, in her own right, a Bad Lady. Currently out of the office, SWF has been causing problems as of late.

SWF is a 20something who is a recent addition to this particular area of my office. Rambunctious and cute, she tends to be the cause of many disruptions throughout the day. These include but are not limited to: throwing balled up pieces of paper over the cubicle walls and hitting people in the head, throwing a plastic stress ball in in the air and catching it for hours at a time, and making a running jump into someone's cubicle to give them a fax. SWF can be categorized as Extremely Annoying, and a recent pattern of NotDoingJackShit has been noted.

Today, it has been reported, SWF arrived at 8:50, immediately started receiving social visits in her cubicle, and then left to go to McDonald's at 9:30. At approximately 10:30 she returned to the office, only to disappear from her desk for 45 minutes. After doing 10 minutes of work, she then went to lunch. At 1 she returned and has been giggling loudly ever since.

Due to extremely high workloads and looming deadlines, SWF's behavior is starting to raise the ire of certain employees, including Kat herself. ~TSF News~

History of SWF
Was hired several months ago as a designer for a different department. Used to work on the third floor, which is like a different world. My department is on the fourth floor, and we are just on the other side of a door from all the Head Honchos. Therefore, we must alter our behavior accordingly. We do not play with toys. We do not blatantly have people hanging out in our cube for more than a few minutes at a time on a continuing basis. We do not piss off our most important clients just because they spelled our name wrong. We do not tell our boss to "shut up" for any reason.

SWF and another coworker initially hit it off and hung out after work a few times. Apparently there was a bit of a scuffle over a guy, and thus SWF got her name because she began acting weird about it.

This carried over into our workplace because the coworker in question needed help and SWF volunteered to assist. But as soon as my coworker gave her the work to do, she went apeshit and complained to her boss and our boss that she was "overloaded" and "too stressed to handle the deadline." Hello, what do we do every day? Handle deadlines. If you can't take the heat... you know the rest. However, in this case, she couldn't take the heat, and so burned my coworker.

So this has caused many of us to rethink ever having her "help" us again. She seems like the kind of person who could so easily take something you said in confidence and throw it right back in your face. So I am on my guard with her.
