Borderline Fantastic

1) People who e-mail me 6MB powerpoint presentations instead of putting them on the network drive in the folder i told them to put it in
2) People who ask me the same question every week even though i tell them every week that I dont know and to ask the admin
3) People who wait until the deadline to realize they don’t know how to do whatever it is and then yell at me for not giving adequate instructions…ask earlier and i’ll help you out!
4) Creepy old men
5) People not at all in my chain of command who ask me to do things like i work for them

These are the highlights from this week…

1) Stealing my visitor chair.
2) Smelly food that stinks up the whole room.
3) Sneezing violently causing me to jump three feet out of my chair.
4) Laughing at the radio or something on the computer. This has increased thanks to the introduction of IM in the office.
5) Camping at the computers, which means I can’t get on the internet to sit there and camp out.

These are not that bad. Most of my complaints relate to the restricts of the job itself. Things like not having internet at my desk and not being allowed to bring in my iPod or Sirius.

I do my best to not be an annoyance to others. I’m sure some people hate that I always have headphones on when they come to ask me something. I always hear them so they don’t have to throw things at me to get my attention. On occasion I find myself tapping or pen drumming to the music, but that’s to be expected.

1) People who steal my stuff from the printer / shuffle my pages.
2) People that ask me the same stupid questions every day. If I am going to basically do their job for them, I should be entitled to their paycheck.
3) When I ask someone to do something that is time sensitive, they say ok, then take a smoke break.
4) People that don’t understand my rules after I clearly state them many times. If I have both earphones in, that means I am busy and not to be disturbed.
5) People that listen to their music turned up so loud that I can hear it perfectly from my desk. What is the point of having headphones if everyone else can hear what you are listening to?

This is a very basic list, I could go on for days about things that annoy me at work. My hands would hurt from all that typing. I have a lot of rage built up and one of these days one of those people that annoy me is going to feel my wrath…

1) people who are so incredibly negative and depressed all the time that they make you uncomfortable.
I never know what to do with myself when I run into one of these people! i think i would rather stand in elevator silence all day than have to engage in conversation with them!

I don’t think I can be as general about the top 5 people that annoy me at work, but there are some specific people that bother me, so here it goes…
5) People who drink coffee all day
4) I know this is gross, but people who don’t properly clean themselves upon leaving the bathroom
3) The guy in my group that sighs in anger every 10 minutes
2) The other new hire in my group that sneezes every 15 minutes, and, always 3 times in succession…seriously, you can take those odds to vegas.
1) People who consistently bounce before they put their hours in for the day
