The scourge that is CC in emails + work assistance

Hi,

I am general friendly positive guy. At work now due to the Enron fiasco, I now have to enter in invoices for the accounts department (separation of duties). This means I have to work with this woman from accounts who is such a mega bitch, negative, horrible to be around person.

REALLY bad!

This I understand and can live with. However, what is annoying me immensely is that anytime she has any problem with me she emails me, and CCs my manager and her manager.

She makes it look like I am screwing up or being lazy which is far from the truth. Any problems I have with her work, then I call her. Eg. I called her yesterday as she was 4 days overdue providing me with something as agreed. I had asked her several times. She snapped back at me saying she was too busy.

Next minute, I get an email CCd to my manager, and her manager blaming me for a massive delay unrelated. She did not even mention it to me first.

I was very tempted to reply to all, and explain my side or reply to all and blast her for all of her mistakes yet feel this is immature and would only lead to an escalatation of an email war between us. Yet, I do not want to seem like I am the guy getting everything wrong either.

* I asked her not to CC everyone in but she still does. Everytime it happens my boss calls me into the office and blasts me for the delay. The delay is caused by the system of which I did not even put in place. It is a stupid system but I cannot change it as I am very junior at present.


Advice please!
