I have a co-worker who really really doesn't like me. I'm not entirely sure why, but the exasperated looks, blatant disregard for things I tell her and "helpful" fellow employees informing me that she loaths my very being leave me with little doubt of my own deductions. She's not what I would call my favorite person either (how can you have a favorite person who hates you? really..) but I treat her the same way I treat everyone else I work with, no better, no worse. So imagine my complete surprise when today at work, she starts talking to me like we're the best of friends, like we went back years! Totally threw me for a whirl today.
It reminded me of a cat, because honestly, cats don't like people. They like to be fed, pet and left alone. Only when they want something do they absolutely, positively, can't-live-without-you, love you. The only exception here is that she's not cute and fluffy.
