I have an officemate that I'm working with for a few months now (I think almost a year now). She's our boss' pet (if you know what I mean!) Our boss always says that he is treating her special because his wife lives in the same neighborhood before they got married and our officemate is like his relative. But, all of us keeps noticing how our boss cares for her (poor wife!). Flowers, free meals, vulgar appreciation of her assets, all the works! Because of that special treatment she's feels superior among any of us. She feels she's smart (even if everyone tells her she's a pea brain!), and what annoyed me more is that, everytime she hears a new idea coming.. she makes sure to tell our boss about it first! I really wanted to avoid her. But, our office is small and we are on the same room. I can't help but react, to what she says everytime I hear her talk. She's really getting to my nerves. Is there a way for me to suppress this anger that I'm feeling? :(

Why don't you try using Emotional Freedom Technique. It takes off your negative emotions and come to live on with a peaceful life. My friend taught me how to do it. I know they have website which you can browse through. I have practiced it everytime I experience depression and heartaches.

i think the only way for you to calm down is to tell her everytime she makes you annoyed. for example if she steals the idea of someone else you should absolutely tell this both to your boss and her. if she doesn't understand her fault you should go ahead and talk to your boss directly. and the other people in the office should support you, then your boss will understand that something's going wrong. if you and other people are nervous at work then it means a decline in the work capacity and quality. make sure your boss understands this, no satisfaction no work!
