Its sheer ignorance Sweet, rise above it. Which sort of person would you rather be?  A coke sniffer or one with an enquiring mind discovering Facebook, keeping in touch with all your friends and family online?  Its a no-brainer isn't it?

she's a dying breed Summer..     I remember coming up against that attitude all the time when I first started coming online (chatrooms..   there was no FB back then...   I should probably stop typing this post now.. I am depressing myself with how old I sound)..   

anyways..  back on track..      these days she is in the minority..      a luddite , technophobe, etc etc.

Either pull her up on it...    or, in this instance, a series of thinly veiled digs might be in order 

The ones that make me laugh Sweet are the ones who come on a forum to comment how these people who comment on forums clearly have no lives

Thanks you guys I'm determined to not let it get to me, she's probably feeling rubbish about herself. She often comments on how she envies my freedom (she has 3 small kids) and used to be slimmer than me before she had the kids etc.. It's the weekend and i'm going to have a lovely day

I like your thinking Sweet  

irrespective of what she might think about pooters and being online t'was very unprofessional of her to discuss you with a customer   how would she feel if you talked negatively about her to a customer???

Sorry but I'd have to pull her aside and ask her to keep her comments to herself and not be so unprofessional as to discuss other members of staff to customers 

Keep an eye on her.

I wouldn't trust her.

well..  I think even less of her now.

I have friends who decided (as a couple) that they didn't want children, and they do have an awesome lifestyle..   yes I have envied them their disposable income & the ability to indulge themselves that comes with it..    they know I do..   but its always a surface thing.    I know & they know that I would never swap places.    

To envy them that much would be to regret having my kids..     and that's inconceivable.

There's a difference between having a moan about being skint, your bits migrating south & not having the social life you used to, and envying someone else because they don't have your children.

She had 3!!   Its not like she misjudged it...   she went on to have 2 more!

I know its wrong, but (as I am still in my cantankerous mood)..  I am sitting here muttering "people like her shouldn't have children"

Absolutely Pengy, that is the crux of the matter for me too.

Me too!

There's nothing worse than working with unprofessional people. (ok, there are probably worse things, but you get my meaning )

Unprofessional and an axe murderer to boot!

Sorry Sweet, but the best thing I ever did was get rid of Facebook.

I call the people I want to talk to.

My computer is my pleasure. I don't drink or smoke. I like to play games and chat to people. I like to look for recipes and bargains. Enjoy your pc and ignore her.

I'm like that too. I call the people I want to talk to, and I have the rest on facebook 

And I agree with what's been said before Sweet, your colleague acted completely unprofessionally. 

rip her arms off

stick them in her ears

and ride her like a bike

that`ll sort her
