I'm so annoyed right now. There's a girl in my office -- we'll call her Jessica-- that I sometimes collaborate with on projects. I've tried to hang out with her outside of work but she always blows me off. No big deal. I just would consider her a colleague and not a friend.
Ever since I got engaged she's been hounding me for an invitation to my wedding. I've never talked about wedding stuff with her. In fact, I desperately avoid the topic at work. FI and I can't afford (and don't want) a huge guest list. I had to cut some people off my list who I've known for years and who I consider to be much closer friends to me than Jessica.
She has even sent me a message over our office IM thing to say that I BETTER be sending her an invite. My response was literally "did you get that file I sent you?" I bean dip the hell out of her every time. In fact, the only time I've gone beyond bean dipping was the few times I've said "We have a really small guest list."
There are two other people in my office that I consider to be real friends (not just work friends) that I was going to invite, but ended up having to cut them off my list. I also thought inviting them might cause drama with Jessica, because I am NOT inviting her. Why she thinks she's entitled to an invitation is beyond me. And why she thinks hounding me about it at work is ok is also beyond me.
She just showed up at my desk to nag me about a project (AKA push some of her work onto me cuz she thinks I'm too stupid to know that's what she's doing) and just before she walked away, out of nowhere she said "I haven't gotten my invitation to your wedding yet!" I just kind of laughed and started fucking with my computer to show her I'm busy (ok I'm busy on TK but still busy!) so she would go away. But she didn't go away. She said, "I'm serious. I mean it. I want my invitation!" and then really loud so I'm sure this whole floor just heard her, "I BETTER BE INVITED TO YOUR WEDDING!"
Really? You better? Why? Because you happen to sit several desks over from me? I didn't say a word in response. Didn't even look at her. How fucking rude and obnoxious. I'm tired and nauseous from my antibiotics so I am in one shitty mood today and I really wanted to tell her to fuck off. This is like the 50th time she has nagged me about being invited. Get the fuck over it. I would NEVER presume to be invited to the wedding of a colleague, or of someone I don't know well and I most DEFINITELY would never nag them about it or repeatedly say that I had "BETTER be invited!" Nope. Nope nope nope. At this point if I had space on the guest list I STILL wouldn't even invite her cuz she's fucking rude and annoying.
Just wanted to whine about that. And I seriously do not know what to do to deter her.
ETF: words.
