HATING Office Life Right Now
Just wanted to vent..
- Some dude in the cubicle next to me has been trying to swallow the same loogie for 4 months now. He sucks air into his nose to get all the phlegm into his throat then swallows.. .but it hasn't helped because ever since he "moved in" he's been doing it. Anyone know that sound I'm talking about... "ssnnuuugggjjnnnnnttttt" (best way I could think to spell it)
- Someone's lunch smells REALLY bad.
- Its freezing in here. I have my space heater on full blast inches from me and I'm wearing a blanket (with long sleeves and pants)
- There's like 3 people that have consistently been coughing all day.
- I've had to change the water bubbler jug twice today because people keep leaving it empty. (those things are HEAVY)
- This woman that sits in an office near me keeps talking wicked loud into the phone.
If anyone else has worked in an office, I know you can relate to most of these things- if not all of them.
Someone come kidnap me. Please.

haha oh man, that would be fun!
There's a lot of things in that movie I wouldn't mind doing. Pretty much living Peter Gibbons's life. Knocking down my cubicle walls, telling my boss to pretty much eff off... etc...

Why are offices always so cold?? My space heater is on summer, winter, fall and spring. I can't believe that whoever is supposed to control it, can't freaking get the thermostat right (we're not allowed to touch it).0

The old folks are broiling while the young ones freeze. I'm in the middle and humored by all of it.noclady1995 wrote: »Why are offices always so cold??

One of my coworkers, 50'ish and going through menopause has two fans hitting on her from all sides. Half the time she can't hear people talking to her because of how loud her fans are. Ridiculous.
Edited-Went to go count her fans. Changed from three to two.

My department is ALL guys. Great for the most part but trying to stay focused on my diet is a challenge when they bring in crap every other day and the damn 'food cube/desk' is right next to mine. Our office is a meat locker too, I wear my sweater a lot. I'll admit, I'm 52 and facing the big 'M' too but I never let them know if I'm hot/cold or whatever. I have a very small fan (it's super quiet) on my desk and if I get hot, I slam my ice water and turn my fan on. Yeah, the whole luggie swallowing thing is freaking disgusting!!! There's a few people that float around this office who think its a sport!!!!.
Hang in there kid! At least we have jobs 'to' complain about.0 -
I've printed that ^ and stuck it on our plotter. It REALLY pissed off the tech guy.

lol, my office is a smidge too warm. It's perfect in the morning and into midday. By late afternoon I'm broiling.
I'm sure the women of the office think it's too cold but they can always throw on another layer. It wouldn't be 'appropriate behavior' if I removed mine...

My office is pretty chill...however there are some days where we get people just randomly walk into our office and ask about the other offices/businesses in the building. I walk out and take a peak at the name on our door and think, "huh...I thought maybe our name was now Information Center. But nope still the same ol same ol."
LOL0 -
Raise your hand if you think it's DISGUSTING to clip your nails at your desk. I certainly do, but several of the people in my office apparently did not get this memo. Gross...
Oh, and we're including a cover sheet with all TPS reports now. Did you get the memo?
Yeah....my sup does it...It's just like....WTH?0 -

If they end up in the garbage....maybe. If they clip them and the little *kitten* fly all over the place? GROSS.0 -
Our office is small but almost all women. I'm always hot and everyone else is freezing - I'll have a fan on while my coworker has blankets and a heater, lol.
Anyways, they're all nice ladies, but I need to get on the vent train real quick...
- Woman in the cube behind me is SO noisy. Either she's talking to me, talking to herself, or sneezing/sniffling as loud as humanly possible. Not contagious, she's admitted that it's allergies but won't take her meds!!
- The burnt popcorn smell in the microwave has lingered for weeks now.
- Somebody leaves used coffee discs in the coffee maker for days. God only knows what's breeding in there.
- Other woman yells into the phone. Can hear her from the other side of the office and behind closed doors. Have mentioned this to her multiple times, she laughs and continues to yell into the phone.
- Shared floor bathroom is a damn war zone, so now I go downstairs.0 -
Ha! I wish I was important enough for my own office.laynerich15 wrote: »I feel for you, time to ask for your own office

After reading all that I still want an office job. I like a challenge lol0

And now, I am sitting here listening to the woman next to me eat, what has to be, the biggest apple of all-time, because it's been going on for a while, now.
If it makes you feel any better.. now someone's taping up a box that seems to be the size of Jupiter's ball sack. I think the entire roll of packaging tape is doomed.
Happy. Monday.

Oh, the one uppers. They are the best. I work with one other woman in my office now and she is the most miserable, unhappy person I have ever met in my life. She literally growls at people, and she smells bad. I need a new job. . .
