Oh no you're not!!!  ;D

I used to work as a marketing executive and my direct colleague talked to herself...CONSTANTLY... and when she wasn't talking to herself she was singing alone with the radio and mixing the lyrics up... Thank God I found a different job after 1,5 months, otherwise I probably would have been in a mental institution by now...

There is an agent in my office, she is an only child, you can tell reight away, she always has to be the center of attention. No matter what you are doing she just barges right in and asks what she wants and she is always asking. After 4 years in real estate she still can't find her way out of a paper bag. She needs help with EVERYTHING. Drives us all up a wall.

Gosh, reading this made me thankful for where I work!! If people around me are annoying, I just close my office door and chat on BetterMost!! But hardly anyone is ever annoying, because we have way too much work to do.

I'm sure I annoy people a lot more than they annoy me. The funny thing is, all the offices on either side of me are empty because I make so much noise at work that people move their offices as far away from me as they can! A bunch of mining engineers visit me during the day and we are always yakking it up and laughing at risque jokes.

The kind that call their no-account children barely eking out a living in some mobile home park somewhere, whose children call them everyday with the newest crises, who put their baby children on the phone so their grandmothers can blither to them in baby-talk.  ::) who come by your cubical to inspect your hair or what you're wearing and have to make a comment as to whether something is new or not or they haven't seen it or not, if a stitch is coming out, if your shirt tag is showing, if you have a piece of lint or hair on your shirt/pants/skirt (and this is EVERY day), who can't let you pass without making SOME attempt at conversation, who keep talking long after you get your answer from them.

I call it the Edith Bunker syndrome - for anyone who's caught the show in syndication - you ask them a work related question and they have to counter with one of their own, or you're having a quick personal conversation and they - univited - join in and go on and on and on and on with their own story while you sit there and shift uncomfortably and they never notice.

Who pretty much try to mother/smother you with grandmotherly/motherly advice and comments "Dress warmly!" "Be careful driving home!"  who do you favors you don't ask for, so you're obliged to them.

**sigh***

The scuzzy kid syndrome!! OY!! and it is NEVER their fault...they were the PERFECT parents...It boggles my mind some of the stuff she insists on sharing!

Today we were discussing which restaurant we wished we had. I mentioned a Mexican food place....another lady said Chili's or Denny's...

Emp of the year broke in and said she didn't like to go out to eat. Someone asked why. She dropped her voice into this sad "I can barely force myself to talk I am so depressed" tone and said "Nothing tastes good to me. My husband gets so mad at me because I just don't like to. Would just rather stay home and eat a bowl of soup"

An hour later she is eating lunch. I asked how it was. "Oh it is yummy...really good!"

("huh? I thought nothing tastes good to you???")

OY!
