I'm Just Not That Into You

Remember the book that came out several years ago "He's Just Not That Into You"? I loved it. And now I would like my client to start taking hints and realize I'm just not that into her. I'm only sending about 5,000 nonverbal clues as I pass her in the hallway that she does not need to stop and speak. A simple hello is more than enough. But no, we speak for at least 10 minutes and as I walk away, I realize nothing productive just happened, I'm just 10 minutes older and not wiser.

She is one of the most passive aggressive people I have ever met...and that is saying a lot because my first boss was the Queen of Passive Agressivity. Shut up, it's a word. This is probably why we don't get along. I will always have a lot more respect for you if you just tell it how it is. I may not like your message, but I will get over faster having the facts straight up.

So here we are, existing in a passive aggressive saga where I try to stay as far away from her as possible without making it too obvious I'm avoiding her and she is stopping me for 10 minute conversations several times a day. I need a job where I can hide from people.
