The female in the story sounds like a blank archetype of (one facet) my personality.
Hup..? Oh, the
tries-too-hard-for-naught-at-all-but-the-self-deprecation-satisfaction - that part.
To help (as best as my one opinion can): I don't believe you can expressly stop yourself from liking whomever you may come to find attractive, (it's something to do with physiological reactions that either happen instantly, or over time) though some persons cope with the pitfall of
falling for the wrong guy/gal by finding an excuse to dislike them (re: a flaw). You have already come to name a few. Avoid her if you'd like to not tempt yourself; strictly discuss inter-office/work-related issues; or, confront her very strongly with your personal brand of political/social/religious views, and maybe she'll come around to hate you instead. (I'm guessing she's either amiable or respectfully ambivalent about you, as the co-worker. You CAN change this however, if you'd like to... oh! but don't harass her.)

I was actually thinking this is somewhat reminiscent of (500)
Days of Summer. (film; and actually, it is quite coincidental that pops into my head at this particular juncture, considering the primary work location is "Greeting Card Writer's" office. You don't think this might have something to do with the current seasonality, if at least, in part?)
