i tend to bite there heads off cuz i'm insane but if you're not insane and you don't have an insane chaotic good person to sick on'er, refuse to be the person she leeches off. she can't tie herself to you unless you give her some rope tied in a noose and fasten around your neck. and if you don't, she'll go find someone who will. at which point, it will not be your problem. and it's never too late to repel a leech, but it does get harder, so act now. do not be a leech host.

: So the 2w3 I've been paired with at work through the training process says to me on Friday... 'we make a good team.' Heh! I've carried this woman through everything. Stopped constantly to explain things that have been explained several times already. Taken initiative to get things finished when the instructions leave us hanging. She's busy worrying about how big her cubicle will be and if coffee will be available at the afternoon meeting... she has this strange sense of entitlement before she's done any work. The last thing I want is to be tied to this woman when training is finished next week... yet I have the sneaking suspicion she is already lobbying for it and the one thing she does have is the ability to work things through word manipulation. Really makes me want to embrace Ayn Rand.
