Says Dee-ZEM-ber instead of December
Says ACK-a-ru-al (splitting into four syllables) instead of accrual
Will always ask for my John Hitchcock when he needs a signature
We have a printer that makes a lot of noise that he calls Chew-bookah (Chewbacca)

It's the little things that drive me nuts.

Is he Nigerian or something? Also...on the John Hitchcock thing, he's gotta be levelling you with that one!

[/ QUOTE ]

I wish I could say he was (levelling me that is, not Nigerian) - but he's not nearly smart enough to level anyone.

He's not Nigerian but he is from Newfoundland, so that might explain things.

27o,

I would have killed myself one week in. Good luck.

BBV knows of my tribulations.

My boss sits about 4 feet away from me and smacks constantly. I want to hang myself with my mouse chord at times.

I tried to post about the people in my office that upset me, but just thinking about it made me annoyed, so I decided that I won't and instead will enjoy the fact that they're both out today.

Fingernail Clipping in public is the worst though. Who thinks that is ok.

My coworkers are mostly considerate and quiet. And having a real office with a door is a plus if you really can't stand something particular one day.

Fortunately she's no longer with my company but there used to be this one troll-like lady who would remove her shoes and walk around barefoot (no socks or panty-hose either). Few things ruin your appetite at around 11:30 like some fat lady-feet with toe rings.

I think the environment of an office, and spending 40+ hours in it a week make the occupants hate each other.

Even though I tread lightly with him because he is 'off', I jokingly, and only because a cool officemate was listening, asked him a couple days ago if I could borrow his clippers after he was done because I wanted to clip my toenails...

Sometimes, but not always. If you get the right people together you kind of all appreciate the absurdity together and it stops being annoying and starts being funny.

Amuse yourself.
Start signing 'John Hitchcock' on the stuff he brings you. See how long it takes for him to notice.
