Hey guys so I wanted to know if other scorps get this problem.

My boss at work is a very nice Taurus man who I get on with well, we have chats in the lunch room and toss some jokes around but we are just good mates - no romantic interest involved from either party.

Anyway since he became head of my department there is this sag girl who is kinda overly flirty with him, he was married but has recently got a divorce and she has just jumped all over him (its actually kinda gross and way too open of a display for me to understand) anyway I never had an issue with her but now everything I do she wants to do and better, its kinda odd like she's in a competition with me.

I know its because she wants the attention of this man which is fine but I just wish she didn't have to do it in this capacity as I take my work seriously and I'm starting to find this all very childish.

She also is open about not liking children but always comments about how beautiful his kids are when she sees the pictures on his desk.

Anyway it got awkward today when she openly was disgruntled and moody all throughout a meeting because when discussing an up and coming campaign he talked over her to ask my opinion and she glared at me every chance she got all day.

I know its because she likes him since our last boss was an older man and she never used to even seem to care about her job.

Any other scorps get stuck with people almost competing with you when you don't even want something at all? Haha

I'm going through what you're going through. She tries to out do me at work. If I'm told to go to another department to work, she rushes over there before I can so I wouldn't be able to do the work. She has even used my methods to get her work done. She's trying to compete with me. She doesn't give me glares like the sag does you, but she gets aggressive by yelling or taking jabs at me by making jokes about me in front of other people. Which never works because she is the only one who laughs about it. What really got to me was when she started wearing her hair like mines or started dressing similar to the way that I dress. The competition thing bothers me, but trying to be like me is like stealing my identity. What's crazy about this situation is that she was a close friend of mines. We barely speak at work and we don't speak to each outside of the job anymore. I can't deal with that.

It's far more things that she has done, but I rather not go into details. I've talked to family and some friends and everyone's advice was to cut her off.

Don't play into what your co worker is doing. Just continue to do your job. Let her continue to look like an ass. She'll lose in the end. They always do. The friend that is doing this to me got injured over working herself on the job, trying to out do me. I was told by the manager to work there, but since she didn't want me doing it, she rushed over there(and didn't even finish). She can't work right now. So, don't worry about her. Just continue to do a good job.

Sagittarius and generally all fire signs die if they do not shine . They are always "compete activated" but when they do with a Scorpio usually "crash". This "child part" of the fire signs is what I like least. Stay in your position, be firm , then eventually crashed or will respect you, depends on their degree of evolution and bipolarity, i think is very common in Sagittarians, (shine above others or die). They may lose the sense of the ridiculous about this.

Sagittarians women on the other hand, not know what shyness when it comes to a man, I have seen literally putting them to bed and then surprisingly ignore her. Let's see ... it is that you forced situacion and almost all women know how to do this, but we do not, but for Sagittarius theimselfs are the first, their own brilliance and triumph (albeit ephemeral, with no solid basis ) to any other consideration.
