File a sexual harassment suit

(I didn't read that MONOLOGUE but I think this would be your best choice)

i would ignore her exept if she spoke to me so she couldnt try and get anyone in trouble...then make out with youre man in front of her to rub it in

Get everyone to complain about here at the work, the management will usually have a meeting with her, hopefully. It works - trust me.

Whenever you have a problem with work and home social life allways be ture to yourself and your believes if any body tramples down any area then tell them its a no go area and practice what you preach gossip is a killer don't spread it, don't listen to it just beleive in the goodness of people until you have proof that they are not what they appear to be.

You cannot change Grumpy, I suggest try and stay out of her way, be civil to her when you need to. Concentrate on doing your job to the best of your ability. Management will eventually see what Grumpy is like without you having to tell them.
As for your boyfriend, ensure he also stays out of Grumpy's way - because she could make both your lives miserable.
Alternatively, if it becomes totally unbearable, you could both seek employment elsewhere.

Wow that is a mouth full. The best advice I have for you is to stay away from her. Her life is so miserable and boring that she needs to fill her time with other peoples business. Be flatered that she shows interest in you but keep your space. Just smile and say hi and keep walking by.

I reckon you should all grow up and act your age,it sounds like what kids do in kindergarten.He says she says grow up.

i think you should just ignore her and just concentrate on your job, or it'll just hurt your own feelings. don't talk to her unless its work associated, and if she has a problem with this, complain about her to the manager, and let them deal with her. maybe working with her is annoying, but you don't have to like her, you just have to learn how to co-operate as a team. remember you're there to work for the money, and not have to put up with hassle about people who waste their time on such ridiculous things. if she bugs you that bad, that its affecting how you work, you can complain to the manager or those organisations that deal with work complaints e.g sexually, physically, verbally or emotionally abusive- and i think that your complaint fits in one or more of these categories. don't get involved with gossip, it'll only bite you in the ars* later on. when you hear it, kill it by saying a smart comment to stop it spreading like- you must be so jealous and long to be him/her since you let him/her occupy your thoughts so much. a good embarassing one is- grow up! you guys act as if you're still in elementary school! if people gossip about someone else to you, chances are, they are gossiping about you to someone else- usually the opinions that you said after they told you the gossip, that's how you detect a two-face. hang around the good people in your work team, the people who are hard-workers that just get on with their job. you could also ask the manager if you can change the hours of your shifts so they do not collide with hers. i also agree with your other answerer, treat WORK as WORK. it's not a drama series on t.v like grey's anatomy- don't date anyone you work with and don't become close friends with them either. besides not being able to concentrate because you'll be too busy socialising, if you break up your friendship or relationship- how you gonna deal with that at work? also keep in mind the comments that your manager can write about you in your records, and what they can say, if you try to change jobs, to a new employer when they ring them up as a reference.

well after reading your add on info, i would just resign my job, and find a new different one, you shouldn't have to put up with her. oh and also, if your boyfriend respected your feelings, he wouldn't go anywhere near her, because this is what causes her to act silly, and he shouldn't be around someone who likes him anyway, as it could ruin your relationship- which it already is.
