how does my co-worker manage to chew so loudly? she makes horribly smacking noises and talks on the phone with her mouth full seemingly ALL DAY. usually bitching at her husband about something.

These workmates were all journalists. If the sight of somebody READING blew their minds, no wonder the media's as fucked as it is.
haha lol - i witnessed undergrad convocation last week and srsly the people graduating with journalism degrees were of two kinds and yes i am mean but i tell the truth: "on-air talent" and "media nerds" with the former outweighing the latter

― Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Wednesday, 25 June 2008 20:14 (fifteen years ago) link

yeah one guy kinda ruined it for everyone while he sat there oblivious to his telephone ringing, and also trying to get peoples attention when they were in a world of their own was slightly frustrating sometimes.
i stand by the ban.

It must take extra effort to eat yogurt at any volume other than "whisper quiet".

srsly I'd quit if they did that here!

she is slurping her YOGURT this woman is going to disneyworld
wtf -- bell_labs, if this woman talks non-stop about women's basketball or her weight-related health issues, let me know, because I think I have her long-lost twin not 15 feet from me.

Childless is indignantly shouting to me about some reality show called "Baby Borrowers" as we speak. She has been going on for about eight minutes in spite of the fact that I'm obviously not listening.
― Hurting 2, Thursday, 26 June 2008 17:25 (fifteen years ago) link
Childless woman, sorry.
― Hurting 2, Thursday, 26 June 2008 17:26 (fifteen years ago) link
Ok, she's switched to complaining about the temperature.

just reading this made me feel like barfing
i don't know, the thing is that this is maddening shit that can fill all frequencies but at the same time in the great scheme of things it is totally minor shit that you can over-ride with your very own mind/being. yeah i know i say it a lot but: this is why i do yoga/meditation stuff. if i didn't i wld explode and kill a yogurt-slurpin' ho

i've been slacking on yoga this week so maybe that's my problem (i just typed oysters instead of yoga while i was writing that, for a better idea of what is really on my mind)
― bell_labs, Thursday, 26 June 2008 17:44 (fifteen years ago) link
haha
oysters are good
you should eat them at her desk

Work-slurping is like an irregular dripping faucet -- just when you think the storm's passed, and you're ready to stop bracing yourself for the next one, SCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCHURLP comes out of the silence to just make you weep.
― David R., Thursday, 26 June 2008 17:49 (fifteen years ago) link
haha i am totally going to bring in a bucket of oysters one day and shuck and slurp them at my desk.
it will be awesome.

God-damned son-of-a-bitch. Co-worker of mine is totally trying to face me. Here I am trying to carefully develop a webapp w/Oracle and Struts that's extensible, etc., and he w/o telling me or anyone else cooks up a super-quick no-security stripped-down version of it using PHP and MySQL in 2 weeks while I have nothing to show for my efforts except a schema. Now I have to convince my boss and my boss's boss who just congratulated him that my vaporware is really superior to his existing product.

I was *highly* recommended to watch Seed, a horror movie, by my work friend last week. His words "it's so scary I dare you to watch it on your own"
what a div, worst film ever.

OK, they're very nice people, but why do the three people in the next office have to talk LOUDLY and CONSTANTLY about their children (all are single parents) all day long? And why have 2 of the 3 of them been bringing in their kids to work EVERY DAY for the last 1 1/2 weeks now that it's school holidays? Is this normal, people with kids? Aren't you supposed to leave them at home, preferably with someone else looking after them?
― James Morrison, Thursday, 17 July 2008 05:12 (fifteen years ago) link
Children of coworkers at work are the worst.
My bosses, abuncha dickhead MDs, throw a holiday party for the staff every year. We're not allowed to bring our partners, but the doctor's kids are running around everywhere. We even have to buy our own drinks.

It's not even 10am on Monday morning and I've already loudly asked a 'colleague' to stop insinuating that I'm "fucking stupid", then had my former manager whispering gossip with said colleague whilst I'm not even three metres away. I love Mondays!
― James Mitchell, Monday, 21 July 2008 08:30 (fifteen years ago) link
OK, I am pretty sure this was the course of events @ my work. At a staff happy hour not long after I started, I spoke briefly with this guy in another department, who introduced himself as.. let's say "James." Next day we were on the elevator & I said hi, how are you.. James, is it? and he's like "no" and all pissy. And is one of those few people here who don't even acknowledge your existence if you say "good morning" to them. I just checked the internal staff page and his name actually IS "James." WTF
― daria-g, Friday, 8 August 2008 18:56 (fifteen years ago) link
Maybe he prefers "Jimmy"
― Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Friday, 8 August 2008 19:35 (fifteen years ago) link
or "Jimbo"
or maybe it was his twin?

I used to have this co-worker who was the least self-sufficient employee, used to always complain "nobody showed her" how to do things that she had been shown four or five times, and would deny she made mistakes that were proven in black and white.
Despite her imperfections, felt it necessary to rat other people out all the time, and was a complete drama queen.
Thank God she was fired in the end.
