So very angry...

I am so very, very angry at the moment. Sunshine has struck again and once again I can't believe what a self centered arrogant, nasty b***ch she is.
My coworker has been on vacation and she had called me yesterday to say that she might shorten her vacation. She had numerous personal issues going on and I think it's more of a theraputic issue for her that she would rather be at work. She called today to say that she would be back and was speaking to the associate about putting any work together that she had for her. Well Sunshine ears perked up and wanted to know what was going on, was everything alright...but it wasn't really to find out on any type of caring level. She heard that she was coming back and might be needing a couple of days off in the near future. Sunshine is taking Monday off so for whatever reason and however her brain works she took that to mean that it was going to affect Sunshine taking Monday off. Never was Monday mentioned.
So Sunshine goes on her merry way (she works different hours than the rest of the office-I know you're surprised by that) and the next thing I know her boss is calling to speak to the associate. Meanwhile Blondie gets a call on her cell phone and I hear this person screaming on the other end. It seems that Sunshine called her boss to complain that the other girl was cutting her vacation short...nobody still understanding how this is any way affects her. The boss now wants the associate to call the coworker and say that in talking to the boss that it gets mentions that coworker will be in tomorrow and wants her to call the coworker to tell her not to come in that she can't cut her vacation short. Obviously he didn't want the dirty work of telling her not to come in so he puts the associate in the middle.
Who exactly does she think she is?.. I'm wondering if that had been me on the other end whether she would have stooped to the same level. Even Blondie wasn't getting the tirade since she even knew that this whole change in plans had absolutely no effect on her. The associate was furious for being put in this position and madder still at Sunshine for starting this whole thing.
Someone seriously needs to knock this woman off her pedastal. I think she and I are going to have a little talk tomorrow. And I'm being straight forward with my boss when he returns that someone simmer her down or I will be actively looking for another job. I'm not dealing with this childish, ridiculous behavior much longer. There was no point to this whole thing and she needs to be called out on it.
She puts in a request for time off and gets an answer immediately. My coworker waited well over a month for an answer. I waited 3 days to get an answer about going for a medical test. Whatever she wants she gets. She's not expected to help out with anything else in the office because she "doesn't do that". She gets hysterical over nothing and somebody else has to pay the price. She's on the phone, cell phone, internet has someone helping her out with her work and then complains that she's so overloaded. It's just not right.
Thanks for listening and I'll let you know how the chat goes!

I'm wondering if she has something on the side with her boss or if she knows information that could hurt him, so he's forced to appease her. I'm convinced my former best friend I worked with (who became a real shrew and out-of-control businesswise) had information on the company president from back before he became president, and that's how she could behave like such a rude, insensitive jerk and still keep moving up the ladder as any number of good people (myself included) were driven away. She finally left the company with no notice to start her own.
You might notice if there are many closed door conversations with her and the expression on his face and tone of voice when he talks to her to see if you detect any infatuation or at the other end of the spectrum fear/intimidation.

You know Susan, I like to think that people come into our lives to teach us something whether they know it or not.
I cannot for the life of me imagine what Sunshine is there to teach you.

Susan, best of luck with the chat.

Susan...BIG HUGS and I hope talking to us has helped you get it off your chest. I am so angry myself I can't even form a good answer. I cannot take such unfairness in any shape or form in all aspects of life.
When I get my thoughts together, I will try to post again. In the meantime, try to hang in there and talking to the boss sounds like the best idea there is. I hope things change so you can keep your job but this aggravation is just not worth it. Beat up a pillow if it helps too!
HUGS
