Since most like the keyboard flat, you are responsible to change it back.

The problem is not the keyboard but that your coworker thinks she can boss you around.

Good work, ILG! It's making some sense of the situation!

That makes it bad when one gets sucked into turmoil like that.

Re: Coworker Spat
Just an update: After I spoke with my supervisor and spilled my frustration (respectfully) she thought about it and then talked to my coworker about my needing to have things ergonomically placed etc. My coworker said she understood. I ended up working with her last night and she was quite nice. I know she will be fine until she has another mood and then we'll go through the same thing but then she will no doubt get over that too.
Thanks all for listening and being a sounding board. I told my sup that I was going to still try and work in the back when my coworker is there just to help things run smoothly and she is good with that. I also told her that I would try to remember to place the keyboard flat when I am done out of courtesy but that I didn't feel like it was my obligation, I'm just trying to play nice. I didn't feel my sup was asking for that but I volunteered since it seemed the thing to do. This way, though, if my coworker gets moody about it, I don't have to feel I have failed if I don't live up to her expectations because there are none.

Re: Coworker Spat
I think you showing the supervisor that you are willing to meet your co-worker half-way went a long way. You were not just going to let her walk all over you, but you are trying to meet her half-way.
Now if anything is said about your ergonomics, you can say that you are trying to compromise.
Good luck my friend.
