Annoying co-worker

There is this one co-worker in my department that none of us like. We don't HATE her, we just cannot find anything about her to like. When she tries to be friendly, we feel she's trying too hard and coming across really fake. Then she does all these things that to us, looks like she's trying to suck up to the bosses. And when it comes to work, even our affiliates who are not in the same office as her don't like her.

My point is, how the hell does she stay on the job? This doesn't say very much about the rest of us does it? To outside people, it may look like all you need is smooth talk and oozing with fakeness to get yourself a job that scores you a big (and smelly coz she smells weird - I SWEAR!) office where you can sit there whole day and blackberry away (errm you can use the computer u know?), text your boyfriend, read the movies page of the newspapers and make your plentiful dinner plans.

She really annoys me and sometimes I wonder is it coz I am ticked off by the fact I know I do more (and possibly better) work than her but I have a smaller title (and a lousy positioned cubicle)? It is not that I covet the solitary office space but I just feel peeved that someone as useless and incompetent and irresponsible as her can get the title, pay and 'perks'. Oh, and she's 'smart' in the sense that whenever she KNOWS the boss is not in the office, she comes in SUPER late. It's 10.40am now (we usually start at 9.30 - the grace period is till 10am) and she is STILL NOT HERE.

Oh but what can I say? I'm blogging during office hours! Haha! But I feel very pissed off and need to vent! I can't stand her! Argh! She would be a factor to cite when I leave. "I cannot breathe the same air as her - it makes me physically sick' Heh heh!
