Does not compute. Why would you be a friend with someone who bosses you around, treats you like a 13 year old and constantly mocks you?

I don't know. We don't do anything really outside of work. I don't know how to "unfriend" someone. She asks me to go to lunch with her and likes to come into my cubicle to tell me about her weekend getaways or her kid. That's what I meant by sort of a friend. Do you see why it is stressful? Imagine having someone who treated you as a work friend but then who talked down to you when you were working on the same project. She gets a very parental tone of voice with some of us, even with the boss.

don't tell anyone but i have some co-workers like this.
great friends outside the office; not-so-great co-workers.
they talk down to me -- berate my mistakes -- get mad if
i question their ideas, ask questions, etc -- even after
i've shown them that i'm more than competent and they
agree that my reputation is enviable. i don't get it...
but they just can't help themselves, i guess.
