Her email to me:

Subject: past few days

i don't know what the hell i've done to have you walk past me and not even say hi, and i've thought a lot about what it could be. i don't care anymore. i know that you and i would never be friends out of work--i'm an obnoxious embarrassment with no tact to you. that's ok, too. the last few times we've im'd i could tell you really did not want to talk to me and when i went in your office and you told me you were busy, well....

i won't bother you anymore. i've gone through so much pain in this past few months that the last thing i needed was to be totally snubbed by someone i thought was my friend, without any explanation. i don't want one now, or some confrontation.  i wish you luck in whatever you do.

My email to her:

This is the most passive aggressive bullshit I've ever seen. The problem is, XXXXX, you treat people like shit. I am no longer going to be party to this. You act like everyone is out to get you when in fact it's your OWN actions that cause trouble and dissent in this office. You are the sole reason for the poisonous atmosphere in our office. I HATE coming to work now.

I tried to say hello to you last week and you GLARED at me. Screw that. I'm not saying hello or goodbye to you any more if you cannot act toward me with some basic civility.

And you know what? Maybe I've gone through some pain, maybe I have my own problems. You seem to think the world revolves around you and that we should all excuse your inexcusable behavior because of your PERSONAL problems. I don't bring my personal problems into work and I think it's bullshit that you do.

Ugh. I hate conflict but I really can't take much more of this bullshit. I feel like we've regressed to fourth grade or something.
