)&^(^%*$!!!

i am in the worst mood today. and everything is annoying me. each time i go to to the photocopier it's not free (4x now). just had a meeting with a JTE and he's so incredibly awkward and has all of these really infuriating mannerisms. he doesn't pick up on nonverbal cues and so i just sit there and squirm. he will say something and i will say 'ok.' and then he will just sit there and stare at me inquisitively. and so i'll say 'ok!' again, and often i'll throw in a 'sounds good!' and he'll continue to stare at me and i'm wondering why the hell he's just sitting there and staring at me so i'll say again 'ok! sounds good! fine! done! ok!' and he'll say 'ok desu ka?' and i'll say 'YES! ok!' and then he'll stare at me for a second longer and then say 'ok!'. we repeat this process after every single sentence and i endure it through each and every meeting with him and it just does my head in, especially since i'm in a bad mood.

can totally relate to that though. i work with a seriously lovely woman, and when you're explaining a lesson to her, she makes this "a-ha,m-hmm" noise every two words of your explanation and its really high pitched and irratating!

i think we need to meet for coffee pet!

Wow I have the same situation except he says "do you understand" after everything and repeats every instruction 5 time. Mine is really nice as well but some days I feel like throttling him.

i have a lovely guy who sits near me at work, really nice guy, except he slurps his drinks constantly, and sucks air between his teeth every few minutes...i may actually kill him, ive taken to wearing headphones and listening to music on my computer, but even thats not good enough as he sucks air and slurps between songs....seriously, im gonna stab him

oh yeah, and this other guy, really really sweet guy, but very shy, when you have to tell him off or ask him why he hasn't done something, he giggles...apparently its a nervous thing, but when you're in mid rant, and he sits there giggling at you...man alive...! (p.s. i feel a bit better now im getting these off my chest...thanks doc anbeek)

oh, and the scuffing/dragging of the feet when walking! PICK YOUR BLOODY FEET UP! actually really funny, the guy who is the worst culprit for dragging his feet, everytime he goes to open the steel cabinet next to his desk, gets a static shock...we just fall about everytime...(no, not a very harmonious office at the mo)
