Sounds to me like she's got some bug up her butt...and every little thing is going to make her react.  You need to find out exactly what her problem is, or this will never stop.  (You order supplies, but you can't look at the catalog!?! That's just insane!)  I've worked in the past for and with lots of people just like this, and you really need to "square" her off...tell her you want to be productive and helpful, but with out very specific instances, you cannot change.  And if she refuses to be more specific, then you need to tell your director (that's who you support most directly), and tell him exactly what you brought up to us. Ask him if she's said anything to him, and tell him you've tried the direct approach. You wanted to know  exactly what the "supposed" issues were, and who complained, but she won't be specific, and that makes it very hard to modify any "supposed" bad behavior. (Which I think doesn't really exist, hence her relutance to specify examples)Her hawking you is also making it very hard for you to do your job.

You'll know the exact right words to say when the opportunity to talk is right.  



Good luck, I really know how hard this kind of situation is to deal with and not loose your cool!
