1) Video tape her annoying rants, raves, gossip. 2) Post it on YouTube under "Chatty Kathy" or something nastier. 3) send her the link

You WILL end up making yourself look bad unless you take the high road and just ignore her. Work is work, it's not high school and it's not the drama club. Go to work and do your work. Your boss isn't paying you to be petty - and if she's being a jerk to you, you can bet she's being a jerk to others and eventually, the boss will catch on. If you get involved, it becomes a "dirty hands" situation, and the boss isn't going to take time to sort out who started it, or who was "more" guilty - he/she is just going to fire BOTH of you to solve the problem. Don't put yourself in that position!
Besides. You do not want to give someone else the kind of power to get under your skin that way. They OWN you when they are able to get to you - they can control and manipulate you at will, and you will be powerless to stop it. Master your emotions and your own behavior and ignore her except business-related transactions, and even then, keep them as short, professional and polite as possible. Do what you need to do and then stay away from her.

Kill her with kindness and never let her show she's affected you in a negative way. If she says something nasty or sarcastic respond as though you don't understand the nastiness and as if it's really a great compliment. She'll tire of trying to annoy you soon enough. Also, her nastiness will only come back to hurt her in the end through karma.

I really hope you don't really mean that~Is it really going to feed you emotionally any satisfaction out of it? I don't think so. So go do the right thing and work hard and forgive her, you don't know how her life situation may be, that might be the reason she is bitter and makes you angry~

^ Go there, choose "puppet stuff" and then Biz Cash Fri 1, 2, and 3, and do everything the annoying guy does. THAT will annoy the crap outta her.

Ignore her most of the time and then give really short but cheerful answers to her questions. Kill her with kindness!!
And always make sure you look better than her, which you probally already do :)

Change the setting on her computer when she steps away from her desk. Make the font size realy small. Then set the mouse very very slow, and right click becomes left click.

Why is she trying to drive you mad? Is it because you are "power driven" at work? Did you do something to her to **** her off?
Anyway, try putting her office supplies into jello, like they do in The Office.

find what drives her nuts and keep doing it. Try crumbling a cookie or chips and leave some on her desk every hour or so
