I've shared about my overly annoyingly gregarious coworker in the past (remember the coffee meltdown?)

Well, the saga continues. For the most part, I try to grit and bear the "Mouth of the South", but it's starting to interfere with my work.

Part of my job responsibilities involve recording instructional videos. Though I close my office door while I'm recording, our building is small and her mouth is BIG! I often find myself either trying to record when she's not around (got SO much done when she was on vacation) or trying to edit around the spill over from her shrill voice -- quite time consuming.

I've thought about making a sign that says QUIET RECORDING IN PROGRESS and put it up whenever I'm recording, but the Codependent in me feels afraid to do that. She always has some passive aggressive comment whenever I close the door (She has a cubicle).

I also thought about asking the director of the department if I could have a recording room in another quieter building on our campus. I don't think he would mind, but I'm afraid that will make me look like I'm not a team player.

Why is this bothering me so much (outside the fact that Codependents struggle with asking for what they need)??
