No...it's not me

...it's definitely YOU.

UGH. I am so frustrated I don't even know where to start. I seriously loathe the fact that I bitch about things from work on here, but I'm not naming anyone so I guess it's okay. Have you ever worked with someone who just got under your skin? So bad, that the very sight of them makes you want to smack them across the face?! There are some personalities that I just can't seem to grasp and I have been faced with my biggest challenge. Working with someone who just gets on your freaking last nerve.

Now, I know that I am no angel either. I'd be stupid not to think people bitch about things I do. But I honestly could give a rats ass. What other people think about me, is none of my damn business. Keep that shit to yourself. One of my biggest pet peeves, is when people over complicate things. I will NEVER understand WHY they do. Isn't life complicated enough!? Just use your words and speak like a normal person would you? This specific individual comes off as an asshole to say the least. Insufferable know it all, who speaks to you like you have the IQ of a banana. What's even more irritating, is the fact they keep asking me questions---and then answering it themselves! Better yet, they constantly have to argue whatever you're talking about---then look it up and try to prove that they were right. WHICH hasn't happened very often, because I KNOW MY STUFF! WHAT THE HELL! It literally could be anything, actually it is ANYTHING they argue with me about. There's no point in even having a conversation. 

This weekend was horrific. I made an extreme point through body language that I wanted nothing to do with them. I barely even made eye contact. Now if that didn't help them get the freaking hint---I know it's not me. I was balls to the wall super busy all weekend. I've been driven down into the "bat cave" as I call it, to GET AWAY from this person. I was too busy anyway to go upstairs. They work in an allied department, and even though it's similar work---their job code is NOT the same as mine. Now we've all joked around saying "oh well we've earned our money today" when we get busy. But to make conscious decisions to COME DOWN TO MY CONTROL ROOM AND TELL ME FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES, NOW YOU'RE BEING A DICK. I'm clearly super busy and I don't need your help. If I did, I would have asked for it. The last time this person came down to BADGER me, I was right in the middle of doing a case. They persisted to ask me physics based questions about my equipment and wouldn't stop. I was super short with them. I NEED TO FOCUS AND YOU'RE DISTRACTING ME WITH STUPID SHIT. So finally, the rice got cooked and I just blurted out:

"I REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS!"
(with CLEAR frustration and annoyance in my voice)

Do you think this person would stop!? JEEEZ. I wanted to punch myself in the face so I could leave work and be rid of this horrible presence. I FLAT OUT TOLD THEM I WAS SUPER BUSY AND DIDN'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS CRAP. The spot where I got extremely offended and pissed off, was when they tried to tell me how to do my job. Again, this person clearly has NO BOUNDARIES OR RESPECT. I've been working for six years, have way more seniority and credentials--I don't need a rookie telling me how I should do my job.

I don't know what to do. I can honestly say, I've never had this problem in ANY of my jobs before. Usually people can pick up when I'm not in the mood to shoot the shit with them. I REALLY HATE BEING A BITCH, but people just leave me with no choice at all. WHAT SHOULD I DO? I'm going to have to work with this person as long as I'm on my shift at this facility...and I can promise you if I can't figure out what to do soon this chicky might just lose it.
