Annoying Coworkers
Uggggghhhh
the guy in the cube across from me drives me crazy. He gets frustrated... lets just say easily. So it's like constant REALLY LOUD sighs, swearing under his breath, and beating on his poor mouse. It's really unnerving, and now just a few minutes ago a guy who hasn't normally sat by me and "John", but is now, came over and commented about it.... so I know I'm not nuts to think it's over the top.
I'm mostly just venting. I doubt there is much to be done about it... and he really is a good worker, but JEEZ.

Anybody else got any good coworker vents, or advice LOL.

2. You're talking about me, aren't you?
You've described my behavior at work perfectly!
Well, except for my constant use of IM programs and surfing the net.

5. It's times like these I really appreciate the door to my office
which can be quickly closed when loud sighs and cursing begin emanating from other offices nearby.

That, and I can turn up my internet KFOG or spinner.com and really relax while I'm working. (I like pretending I'm in a liberal place like SF rather than the one I'm in).

But I feel your pain.

9. I love having my own office.
I don't care that is not much larger than you average closet or that there are pipes hanging from the ceiling.
It's mine, all mine!!!!

6. I'm in training
For a tech help position, and we're all sitting in rows at computers. Some dipsh** behind me constantly breaks into a Donald Duck voice (sometimes he switches to a Popeye chuckle) whenever there's a lull in the training. I'm thinking of putting a note on his computer that says, "The Donald Duck voice is getting old."

8. my coworker Suzanne
has a boring story for every freaking topic. We can no longer chit chat in the office without her jumping in with the most inane, stupid stories. To top it off she has a whiny New Yawk accent that is like fingernails on a blackboard (disclaimer: no I am NOT anti-New Yawk accents, just anti-THIS NEW YAWK ACCENT).
