There is a woman at work who i feels constantly picks at me always making stupid comments. always nudging other worker to take the pee. this went on for a while when i was new.. i said something to one of the other workers. asked her not to say anything. but she did. not a bad thing as it stopped and was no come back on me. so stopped for a while and now got a feeling its starting up again... oh ghost your always wondering making it look like your working, always having a little wonder... then im waiting for the chef to remove the left over food from serving counter... work in school kitchen..its like a 2/3 min wait... i then get from the same woman oh ghost you dont just have to stand there you know. you can find other stuff to do you know.... comments like this everyday its driving me nuts...

before we broke up for xmas. one of the other workers asked the same woman to help her put some stuff away. she said no she needed to do her own work.... ask ghost but the tone was in a piss take tone. and i was scrubbing the oven.

i feel like saying i choose not to eat like you do. but its ok for you to stand and take nibbles from your food for 2 mins here and there... but i cant just take 2 mins whilst i wait for the food to be moved... yep i wonder round the kitchen doing nothing, not that i go to get stuff i need. also feel like telling her that im 23 weeks pregnant and if i really wanted i could ask for breaks if i feel i need them.

any ideas how i could tackle it?

She's a bit of a queen bee, then? I think you may be right that she thinks you're getting away with light duties because of your pregnancy. I think she'll get even worse if you're planning to return after your maternity leave (in her mind you'll have had a nice long holiday), so it might be a good idea to talk to your manager now to nip it in the bud.

im not sure as she does not seem to do it to any of the others. i get torn between weather to say something to her/get a bit sarcastic with her or to ignore her like i always have.

Personally, I'd find it difficult to say nothing, but that's just me! Grin
