jeez.. it’s only 9:30
Mr. No Respect for the Headphones will NOT leave me alone. Jeez! The “Auditors” have run him out of his loaner-office, and now he’s “hovering” between my cube and Marc’s, with ten million stupid questions rolling off his tongue.
“Who are those guys in the office?” “Hey! They had breakfast! What are the rules for scavenging in the break room?” “Think Marc will be in today?” “I wonder if I should use that office while those guys are in there?” “Hey! Who are those guys?” “Who designed that website you’re working on?” “Wow, didn’t know racing was big in Atlanta.” “Ooh, they have a weather magnet.” “Do you think they’re done eating breakfast?”
Shoot me. 9-5 of this today.

Every company has an office nag. The conglomerate I am indentured to
has several. They work in a coordinated task force to insure that noone gets anything done.
I have, however, found a very effective technique for getting rid of them. As soon as they get the first 3 words out, I fly into a FURIOUS RAGE – ranting about whatever I’m working on that moment. I get really loud so as to draw attention. Sometimes I’ll throw a book or jump up on my chair and shriek. Its been very, very quiet around my cube ever since!
