0 Thanks, CJ, If I had said "the new male colleague", would youhave recommended adding "in the office"? Does the word colleague often associate with work?02br

0Colleague is always associated with work, but it's a bit formal for your setting. Unless she's gay, you can assume the person she's trying to impress with those tactics is male. You can say "impress her new colleague" if you want - it's just more formal, and it does NOT require that you identify his ***.0-

10 Yes, but I was working on the same wavelength as GG, and by removing the word 01i00colleague02i00 I was trying to tone down the formality to match the rest of the passage.02br

00Thanks. I see your point. I'll keep that in mind. 0-

0Keep in mind, it's because of how she's acting. If she was coming in early, making a point to speak up in meetings, and working through lunch, she may be trying to impress the new colleague in an entirely different way - and the *** of the new colleague either wouldn't matter or wouldn't be known unless you said so.0-

0 That's a good point. It takes a while to master subtleties like this. 0-
