It's just too much...

I can't take much more today. Not sure what's going on but these people are killing me. I got smack-ems across the cube from me eating potato chips and pickles apparently. It is crunch crunch crunch...slurp slurp slurp...low satisfied grunt sound. What the F? I mean seriously. You can't help that the bag rattles, I understand that. But I'll be damned if slurpin' and gruntin' ain't within your locus of control! I just want to lean over the cube give him some major white tight lips and say "STOP IT!"

Should we really be eating at our desk anyway. The employer provides awesome cafe and break rooms. It can't be healthy to work and eat at the same time. And if you are so far behind that you can't take 30min to eat somewhere else then by God you have a time management issue. On top of that...please recall that there was some finger licking involved now he is click click clickin' with his mouse and peck peck peckin' on the keyboard. That's not your personal stuff it belongs to the company, all of us and after you get whacked for your time management issues some poor f-ers got to use that system with your body fluids on it.

Let me just tell you from experience, I used to clean those keyboards that were returned from the customer at a previous job. Your bitten fingernail shards, boogers, crumbs, and little curly hairs are going somewhere and that's in between those keys. Not sanitary, I tell you.

So if you are a desk eater. Please keep it clean and quite for all your co-workers sake. I think I may be cooling down now, he just let out a little burp..sigh..I think it's full now.

New Kid on the next block over...II

Thanks for all the suggestions on how to lure people over to my cube. By the way Dre, tweeters never worked with Kurpluck.

So another thing about my location. I sit across from the high school interns. Yep there are 4 of them and they sit right across from me. Good thing about that is they listen to really cool music and I can enjoy it even though I'm ashamed to admit I like it to my co-workers. 16yr olds can listen to "Shake that Laffy Taffy," while I should not.

All they do all day is listen to music and play games online. I think that I could probably tell them they have been reassigned to be my interns and get some help with my work. I will have to think of something clever for them to do.

What I really want to do...

I would really want to write a book about cultural differences and similarities focusing on sounds. Like for instance, Americans say ding ding for a bell and apparently Japanese say ching ching. I find that so interesting. I'm sure I would have to work other things in like how white is the mourning color in India and stuff like that.

Anyway, apparently other people found it interesting and are researching to write a book. http://www.georgetown.edu/faculty/ballc/animals/animals.html pick an animal it's fun!

Mostly I just wanted to travel the world and have fun figuring out how to ask them "how does the cow go?" Hum...lost dreams.

New Kid on the next block over...

So I just started in a new department about month ago. It's really cool and finally if I don't want to talk to anyone all day, I don't have to. I can just email and work at my desk. However, I am starting to feel a little alienated. My team all sit together in a group of cubes. I guess they ran out of room when I came over and I'm in "overflow" area all alone. At first I was getting to know everyone because my trainer sits in the "in" area and I was cool by association. Now I'm in my hole away from the gang. I can hear the conversations and laugh along sometimes, but I feel like when I join group talk across the wall, they all look at each other like who the hell is that. I'm like Wilson on "Home Improvement." I joined the breakfast potluck to have some social interaction because we stage the food in a spare cube in the "in" area, but that's not helping. The food got a better cube than me. I can imagine the conversation at a staff meeting..."where should we put the new girl, in the spare cube in the group?"...."No way that is where we put breakfast on potluck day" I need some draw to my area...just got to figure out what.

Add this to my resume...

So now that I'm in a proper office job where moving is not required for up to 10hrs a day...this is the only thing I'm collecting, fat. So far today, we had potluck breakfast which consisted of many donuts and other goodies. Then, stopped by co-workers desk, left over Halloween candy, can't let that go to waste. Oh today is bosses b-day, must celebrate with big honkin' piece to show boss I care. This place is killing me.

Fingers Crossed

Well, I finally found a house. It looks like I will close toward the end of this month. I'm very excited, but scared at the same time. The most scary thing is that while I was in Ohio, I resigned a 7mt lease and now I have to find someone to take that over or I will be paying for my apt too. So let's hope that Craig's list will help me out. First scheduled event for the new place is New Year's.
