I am a graduate student and an employee at an on-campus organization where I am a student writer. I am also the editor of a newsletter that we publish. However, there is a know-it-all full-time employee who keeps trying to butt into the newsletter by trying to edit it (although she isn't even a staff member). Today, while I was teaching a class, she went to my desk and took a copy of the newsletter (the unedited version, I might add) and flipped out on a bunch of people in the office (also making a bunch of edits). She is ridiculous and should not have been taking things from my desk. She is not the editor anyway. What should I do about her? I don't want to be on her bad side since I basically share a workspace with her, but this is ridiculous.

Report her to your superior. Besides her infantile attitude, I would think she had no right going through your desk,especially since you're the editor. She may have come across something confidential.
She is way out of line. I hope you get her fired. Good luck.

You are treated with respect at a level inversely proportional to the amount of crap you allow people to deal to you. Tell the female dog to mind her own business and stand 6" from her face until she walks away. You have to intimidate her, that's what she is doing to you.

You can continue to let her drive you crazy, or put her in her place. I know exactly how you feel, and believe me the best thing to do is just tell her.
