Ok, most of yall know the type of work I do and it keeps me very busy. But there is this guy that I work with (Aqua) and he is gettin on my last nerves. He comes in my office when he first get in and says good morning thats cool. The problem is he knocks on my office door at least 5 to 6 times a day and all he says to me is "How's it going", "What you working on" "Do you need any help" Do we have any follow-up visit today. I have given him a schedule of visit and he still come to my office to look on my calender. I mean just stupid stuff and it's really irritating the hell out of me. My damn Supv don't come in my office as much as he does hell I hardly say two words to my Supv on some days. I have indirectly told him on a few occassions that he needs to leave me alone and he tells other people that I treat him bad. What the HELL.

I know I can tell him how I feel but this man is a true suck up, like if someone says something to mean or nasty to him he gets offended, and then runs in the directors office and complain. I have seen him do this before. I have made some comments about work and why do we have to do this and he says to me "Well I will go tell the Director that you said this or that" Then I would say WHY!.

I have given him my stare a few times, I have intimidated him a few times he has gotten mad at me before and just stop speaking to me. He is a 56 year old big baby and he is driving me fucking crazy.

He smiles in my face and say Hi to me as if something is fucking funny I just want to scream on some day like today but instead I look at him and breath deeply and ready myself to not look so mean or look agitated by his constant appearence at my office door.

So do any one have any suggests as to how to handle this without putting my own job in jeapardy.

DB, I understand what you are saying and I do socialize but I don't do it as much as he does. My office doors is open a lot of time and people come and say a few words but he is just constant with it that's what gets me.

That is why I am here because I am almost to the point of just telling him cordially about coming in my office so much.

Humility come on I show that all the time everyday. I just can't see a person constantly walking around socializing when there is work to be done.

I don't like it, no one else does this but him. And I know we all probably have a person that we work with that is annoying or can be annoying.

i hate problems too, which is why i refuse to live with her again. her and my taurus roommate do so much stupid shit and cause so much needless drama. i'm SO glad i have a sag to keep me sane. she's not technically my roommate, but she lives in our dorm. our other roommate is an aries and i love her too. but omg the taurus and gem...no thank you. i can deal with them casually but i CAN'T live with them.

Hey EG....yeah I am still here...working hard and totally loving it...the people are great..but you have to be totally self-motivated and get on with your own thing..nobody mentoring or anything like that..I have had meetings coming out of my earholes since Monday..I don't even know my clients, yet I've held meetings with them and had to learn the system..totally love being in control though..it fookin rocks!..When I've worked my ass off, I know i've done a good days work..

So much talent in the office too...lovely Aries dude called JP..but sigh he has a girlfriend...lol..great eye candy though 😉

I really appreciate all of your suggestions.

His B-day is 2/5

I was a good thing I had a Dr. appointment this afternoon and when I got back in my office, well walking to my office door he was behind me, he was like I came to you office to see what you was doing for lunch. I was like I have not eating yet been in the Drs office.

Then he says can I come in and speak to you later today. I just looked and him and was like whatever, he don't do nothing really he don't he might occassionally look busy but I have been working with him for 4 years and this year alone is the worst, he is just to much in my face and I don't like it

I can't stand going in his office or my supv office there offices are just to damn junky for me paper is all over the place just triflin.

So know I am sitting her in my office with my door shut, I know he will be in here soon and don't want nothing. Don't get me wrong I do talk to him about something other than work but after that I am into my work He comes in my office and say things and I be like is it work related? and then he gets a tude and Oh so it's like that if it isn ot work related you don't have nothing to say then I would I am just really busy....and he walks away. jeez I just want him to just say hi in the morning and buy in the evening and durning the middle of the day make small talk that is 3 times not 5-6.

Fuck I am just freaking frustreated with him right know.

I understand your situation. I personally don't like socializing at work because once I'm at work, I'm serious and get into work mode. I am also very picky about who I socialize with and I am reserved. Distractions bother me and make me lose my focus. I used to give off standoffish vibes and stay glued to my desk (I noticed this didn't work for small companies since they always wanted to socialize). I had coworkers come around and chat alot (so annoying) so I would turn my back, look at the computer and say "Thanks for stopping by but I am very busy and socializing makes me lose focus. I hope you understand why I can't stop and talk to you often." They always understood and let me do my work. I'm direct and confrontational. I think being direct and polite with him may work. If I were you, when he talks to me I'd look at my computer and do work and say "uh huh...oh what were you saying, sorry I'm just so busy, if this is work related we can setup a meeting or we can talk during lunch or after work."

Option #2: Since you have an office, why not keep your door closed when you're busy? If its open people will think they can walk in at anytime.
