Let me catch up with you later when I have a minute." Regarding her laziness, you don't need to tell her boss about it. The chances are excellent that her boss already knows about her work habits and that will likely be mentioned at her next personnel review, if not sooner. Hope this helps. Fred & Gladys Hi Bonnie,

I have a co-worker who walks into conversations constantly! I don't have the guts to say "can we help you?", so I've been totally acting like she's not even there! It's really driving me crazy, not to mention the fact that she's the laziest co-worker I've ever met and gets away with it! Do I "rat" her out? Hi!
