One of my co-workers has had this same conversation with me every morning for five years:
when I say "hi, how are you?" she says "I'm okay, I just TIRED, I don't know why, I'm just tired for some reason." My Legacy

MissMe said: Why is it there is always someone's voice you get sick of hearing. Or there is always someone in the office who talks too loudly and is really irritating. And just because you are phoning long distance, it doesn't mean you have to shout louder. Or someone who slams their fingers really hard on the keyboard.
How do they expect us to concentrate at work? Oh I used to work with someone that pounded the hell out of their keyboard. I wrote a thread on here about it a while back cuz it was driving me so nuts, LOL, I was ready to take his keyboard and clobber him over the head with it. | |

1) Every time he sneezes says "squeeze me" 2) Every time he is asked for a drink says "T please bob" 3) Spins every story however minor out to around 10 minutes and carries on even when you look away and start working! But he's actually a nice guy so I can't be too cruel... Anytime one of my friends and i sneezed, we used to say "damn! there goes 20 bucks!" | |

I work with a guy who eats food in the breakroom that would make a billy goat puke. For breakfast he'll have scrambled eggs with Chili, Sour Cream and Ketchup piled on top. Another day he had a Grilled Cheese Sandwich with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top! He called it Ala Mode! Another day he had Waffles with Sour cream and Strawberries! He also eats a Peanut Butter, Banana and Mayonaisse Sandwich! He clears out the room everytime. | |

I would say professionalism and the lively hood of the other memebers of the team is more important that one loud mouthed engineer pissing off my customers. We are pretty open and try and let people be themselves..if they do the job that is all i care about...regardless of anything else. Why? Are you looking for a job? | |

We've got a lot of anything else at our place too, mate! mdiver said: Why? Are you looking for a job?
Thanks for the offer mate, but I run my own ship in Romford. We get contracts for "voice-based promotional campaigns". At least, that's what it says in the yellow pages! | |

I make up funny names for my more annoying co-workers. If I didn't add that bit of humor, I'd kill one of 'em eventually.
I give you: Mr. Piggy -- If anyone brings in a treat, Mr. Piggy is guaranteed to eat at least three times as much as anyone else. One of his best pals in the office is... The Moocher -- This guy loves to snarf the treats others bring in, but when it's time for a potluck, he brings a bag of chips. Eleanor -- So named because she sounds like Eleanor Roosevelt. Listen to that voice every day for years. Also is a real fashion trendsetter -- does things like tie a scarf to the strap of her purse. The Weasel -- Got his job on a fabricated resume. Never works a full day if the boss is gone. Always has an excuse at the ready -- he's sick, his wife is sick, his kids are sick, his babysitter is sick. Spends all day on personal phones calls and says a hearty, "You're welcome!" anytime you say thanks for anything -- including "bless you." Rev. Schmoozer -- Used to be a minister. Likes to sermonize about how we all need to work together. Got his job by being an ass kiss extraordinaire. Miss Thang -- Likes to get snippy with people when they ask questions about a merchandising plan she laid out -- and which happens to be wrong. The Smacker -- This woman is always suckin' on something. Breakfast, lunch, a snack. And if she doesn't actually have food, she'll suck on her fingers or her lip. I could go on all day...
