shut. up. now.

There’s a woman who works upstairs with us as a freelance design person. Typically she’s almost never here, but for the few crunch weeks right before a deadline… in other words, she’s here now.

I have two problems with her: one, she’s so FREAKING loud and two, she takes tons of personal calls here in the open room of FOUR people and we have to listen.

And today… ugh. Today, they sound like porn.

Mickey’s had four smoke breaks since 9AM just to get away from it.

Sadly, I’m over here without my laptop of beautiful and loud music (seeing as how my power cord has chosen today of ALL days to bite the dust), trying to hum anything in my head that will prevent my ears from her abuse.

It’s not working.

  7. what i don’t understand is how can it not bother people to have others hear their conversations. even if im just talking about like mundane things, i don’t want other to hear it.

    kick her in the shins. it’s what i do to my roommate who has the same volume control and phone talking issues

  8. AW… yeah, no.

    Wen.. LOL. Definitely no.

    Andy.. shut up asshat. 😛 Got a job yet?

    Connie… I completely agree. And I used to kick in the shins, but that was back in grade school and I carried grief for that for years, lol.
