UPDATE: I waited until the boss left and had a quick huddle with the folks in the office. I explained the need to have it quiet when I was recording and let them know that I would put up a sign when I was recording. I also asked if there was a better time than others to record (i.e. Mondays and Wednesdays before lunch) so I could welcome their input.

LOUDMOUTH says "Are you referring to anyone in particular?" I'm sure she knew this was directed towards her. I just responded that I wanted everyone in the building to know.

She made some snide comments under her breath and has been flat out rude to me since. She makes it a point to say good morning to everyone in the office but then says something like "I have to be quiet around Queen ZenZeta".

SERIOUSLY?!?!

...and I think I made matters worse. She feels like she has to make comments about EVERYTHING I do now. For instance, today at lunch I brought in some leftover steak that I had broiled and she commented in front of everyone "HOW CAN YOU EAT THAT? IT'S NOT EVEN DEAD! THAT'S GROSS..."

It's MY steak on MY plate and I should be able to eat it medium rare if I want? I seriously feel like we're in high school again.

I want to say something, but I'm the new kid on the block and she's been around for a while. I don't want to ruffle any feathers by saying too much, but this needs to stop. We are adults!!!!
