How should I handle my spiteful coworker?

There is this girl at my work who absolutely hates me - there is really no other way to describe it. Every time I make a suggestion or a statement at any meeting, she comes right back with something contradictory. She won't look at me, and generally just ignores me. She has a somewhat abrasive personality, but has the ability to put on the "nicey nicey" for the bosses.

I think it is a result of a talk our boss had with me in his office one day in which he stated that he could basically "get a monkey to do her job," but he really needed me. The problem with that was that her cube is RIGHT outside his door, and she stated when I left his office that day that she could hear everything. Since that day, she has been very spiteful towards me.

I talked to my boss about it today, and he said I simply shouldn't worry about it - that she hates the world. But it is uncomfortable, and I get tired of having her contradict me every time I speak.

Seeing as how I've already told my boss, and he just said not to worry, what should I do? I have talked to her about it before - apologized, and expressed my desire to just get along. But it never seems to matter.

Help! Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated : )

  1. I would tell her the zoo is looking for new residents for the primate display.  One has just been hired and is working it's way up and should be there shortly to take her place.
