My last response to her literally ended with the statement "in the future don't contact me." I just don't think she'll abide by that because she's already gone out of her way to contact me this much.

People in real life say "Oh I deal with people like that all the time." The reason I'm taking it more seriously than that is because it's so irrational (she's going out of her way to screw with someone she doesn't actually have any business contacting) and because she has multiple mental issues.

I don't believe HR is in my corner at all. And yall have given me the perspective to see that my boss isn't really there either. He's so "thankful" I'm keep him "in the loop" on this, but he does nothing proactive. It's all lip-service. I just found out today that my bully has been with the company for more than 10 years! So she aint going anywhere.

I like the idea of a boiler-plate sugary-sweet response, but I'm also entertaining the idea of blocking her from my email altogether. I'm just weighing whether or not that could bite me in the butt later on.

She's never come to my desk or called me -- I mean she never leaves her office. She's overweight and rarely gets up. I think she likes to hide behind the malice in her emails, that way she can deny that she meant it the way I took it, she can say I read too much into what she wrote or something.
