What's mildly irritating you today? - Page 41

Sundae · 08-20-2008, 07:58 AM

My Manager's 13 yo daughter and friend in the office (her Mum is in a meeting)
Everyone else in meetings/ out of office.
They are watching something hideous on YouTube - really squeaky-voiced thing. Like Alvin & the Chipmunks but I don't think it is.

I really don't want to tell them to turn it off (her Mum will as soon as she comes in) because I don't want to be a boring old square and make them hate me. It's not stopping me working (unlike posting here!) it's just irritating.

Do teh teens have different tolerance levels for annoying noises? I can't remember.

Yuck. Hope you get it swapped out soon.

I haven't slept in four days. I had a horrible cold and evil sore throat. was just starting to feel better last night but 2.0 woke at 10:00 crying and holding his throat. We sat up rocking while he sniffled and moaned until 6:30 this morning.

That sounds like what I had last week (not the baby, the other thing). I hope you didn't get if from me. You hear so much about computer viruses these days.

i always wear a condom in the cellar so I don't think you're to blame.

I have to drive an hour to get to the ortho doctor's office to "discuss the results" of a recent follow-up MRI (tentative diagnosis is benign bone tumors). Why not just tell me over the phone?
Good news: wasted gas and i'm mad all the way home
Bad news: wasted time and i'm sad all the way home

Bloody artists who think that they can behave like children when they're here.
I'm sure they don't behave like this at home. Damn - I remember when teachers used to say that and I thought it was pathetic...

The notice I have just put up on the bathroom wall reads:

Quote:

To the person who left the assorted box of goods in the bathroom (including toilet paper, kitchen rolls, tea bags, sugar and a mouldy banana); your Mum doesn’t work here. And if she did, she’d probably agree that you are old enough to clean up after yourself.

Please, please, please – if you’re dropping something off, check to make sure it is back in the right place.

A lot of people here must think their mom works here as well. They leave half-eaten foodstuffs in the sink, don't wash stuff they've used, or return it to its place. Someone else will clean it up, right? I've been known to toss a plate or whatever into the trash if it's been in the sink more than a couple days.

Other people's soggy food floating in dirty water = disgusting.

Which itself can also get zen-ified.

I've hit people with swords myself -- rattan ones. There may some day be some rebated-steel WMA studies in my future.

Works a lot like Shawnee's murderous rampage thingie. Settles you right down, really.
