My Manager's 13 yo daughter and friend in the office (her Mum is in a meeting)
Everyone else in meetings/ out of office.
They are watching something hideous on YouTube - really squeaky-voiced thing. Like Alvin & the Chipmunks but I don't think it is.

I really don't want to tell them to turn it off (her Mum will as soon as she comes in) because I don't want to be a boring old square and make them hate me. It's not stopping me working (unlike posting here!) it's just irritating.

Do teh teens have different tolerance levels for annoying noises? I can't remember.

lol...my semi-amused anger state reached way back into my teenage years for that one.

I shore got a mouth on me! ;)

Yuck. Hope you get it swapped out soon.

Why, for me, that's half the fun of adulthood!!

I haven't slept in four days. I had a horrible cold and evil sore throat. was just starting to feel better last night but 2.0 woke at 10:00 crying and holding his throat. We sat up rocking while he sniffled and moaned until 6:30 this morning.:(

That sounds like what I had last week (not the baby, the other thing). I hope you didn't get if from me. You hear so much about computer viruses these days.

i always wear a condom in the cellar so I don't think you're to blame.

I have to drive an hour to get to the ortho doctor's office to "discuss the results" of a recent follow-up MRI (tentative diagnosis is benign bone tumors). Why not just tell me over the phone?
Good news: wasted gas and i'm mad all the way home
Bad news: wasted time and i'm sad all the way home

good luck! I hope you are really really mad the whole way home


meaning good news : praying:

Thanks! I appreciate that. :)

Bloody artists who think that they can behave like children when they're here.
I'm sure they don't behave like this at home. Damn - I remember when teachers used to say that and I thought it was pathetic...

The notice I have just put up on the bathroom wall reads:

A lot of people here must think their mom works here as well. They leave half-eaten foodstuffs in the sink, don't wash stuff they've used, or return it to its place. Someone else will clean it up, right? I've been known to toss a plate or whatever into the trash if it's been in the sink more than a couple days.

Other people's soggy food floating in dirty water = disgusting.

<stretches and snaps lookout's condom, just to see if I can get a rise out of him>

Which itself can also get zen-ified.

I've hit people with swords myself -- rattan ones. There may some day be some rebated-steel WMA studies in my future.

Works a lot like Shawnee's murderous rampage thingie. Settles you right down, really.

Dude. you're a dude. don't ever even think about my condom again, let alone touch it. that's like a major breach of etiket.
