Joys of working in close quarters
12.18.06 (4:07 pm)   [edit]

One of the contractors...he is sitting right next to me. Whenever he comes back from Starbucks, he reeks.

And now he is listening to music with his headphones on. I can hear what he is listening to. He has the volume high enough that he did not hear his cell phone ring. His cell phone ringtone is loud. He also got a voice mail message. Another tone let us know, but he didn't hear that either. He is sitting so close to me that he could read this. I can even reach over and touch him on the shoulder.

I guess cell phones in offices don't bother a lot of people, but everyone else's cell phones ringing all the time drives me bonkers. These are all personal calls!!! People who expect to get a lot of calls at work tend to have an office. Is it so hard to have your phone in silent mode in the office??

I agree... if I worked that close to my colleagues that would annoy me too. His wreaking would annoy me more then the cell phone though! (Does he wreak like cigarette smoke? EWWWW)

No, this guy doesn't smell like cigarette smoke, but *another* contractor does!!!! I can smell him every time he comes back from a smoke! GROSS!

hmm. I must be really conservative. I've always turned my phone off when I come into the office.

I always set my phone to vibrate. I don't understand why people think it's okay to leave cell phone ringers on in the office!
