In the next cubicle to me, sits a very annoying and overweight female co-worker who talks too much. She's annoying to listen to, my patience has worn thin, and my boss seems to favor her to me. My problem is, a promotion is coming up, and both of us are going for it.

However, I have a bit of dirt on her. I overheard her on the phone with her doctor ordering drugs for a venerial disease. I accidentally replied to all on an email to my friend poking a bit of fun at her situation. My friend and I thought it was ironic someone would actually sleep with her since she's so fat. Anyway, it was only supposed to go to him, so I felt kind of bad that everyone saw it at first. However, I think my boss will now promote me since I am healthier and have stronger morals than her. Plus, she is so embarrassed now she just might quit and I'll get the promotion by default!

My question is, how do I really seal the deal with my boss? I need this promotion badly as I just bought a new BMW.
