WHY ME? JESUS H. CHRIST, WHY ME?

mood: annoyed
Oh my fucking god. Throats are being cleared all around me. I am being slowly and methodicallly driven insane.

One is a guy with a normal clearing sound that wouldn't bother me (much) if he didn't do it once a minute and generally in unision with the woman who is the true problem.

She has one of those sultry voices that at first sound attractive but then the more you listen to her jabber on the phone and give her fake little laugh, the more you begin to realize it grates. It really grates.

Then she catches a cold and starts clearing her throat in a dainty, suspended sort of fashion.

Sort of like.

Er.....ummmmmm. Little bits of stuff sound caught in her throat and she purringly explores them as she draws out her clearing.

A shudder of revulsion makes it nearly impossible for me to continue typing. Goddamnit. My only hope is that everyone around me is moving cubes next week and SHE WILL BE VANQUISHED.

Oh, yuck. Yet again she clears her throat. And then, as if by magic, so does the guy.

I. Am. In. Hell.

Every time someone clears their throat, an angel gets his wings...

You are perverting one of my favorite movies! LOL! I wouldn't mind if the throat clearers sprouted wings and flapped someplace where I couldn't hear them. Ack!

You and Me BOTH!!!

I had the disgusting throat-clearning guy, but I glowered menancingly at him to keep his creepy self away and invoked subtle demons in hopes that he would leave. Three weeks ago..he did. No notice.

Now...I have have a job that they are steadily eroding any possiblity of creativity. Yesterday, I realized that lobotomized primates could do my job.

They hire us for our skills...then they tie our hands. I love the corporate world. So I'm empathizing with you. Any possibility you could hear earphones?

Re: You and Me BOTH!!!

I think if I were more creatively and happily involved in my job things like throat clearing wouldn't register or at least not bother me to the point of towering rage.

Someday I will be doing what I want to do and making good money at it. You too!

I am going to explore the idea of earphones but I just know the minute I put them on, somebody is going to call me or stop by and I'll never get a chance to enjoy them.

I once did data entry for a living and I listened to music on earphones and I was VERY fast and accurate. Mindless, but also challenging and enjoyable.

Sometimes I think this job is just mindless. Or maybe I have simply lost mine somewhere...

I think if we stay in positions like it sounds like we both have we *will* lose our minds! Just know that you have a sister out here suffering in the same flourescent constraints too!

Be well.

It's like the anti-mina torture tactic. Put her in a room full of throat clearers. Who needs water bording?

Hehehehe...

I would spill my guts in about half an hour. LOL. Luckily I have no state secrets to divulge.

Gacking your way through the work day!

I have a dude nearby that clears his throat, but also seems to enjoy doing this gross half hiccup/half belch thing that's deep inside his chest once every few days. Not sure if that makes sense, but fuckin' GAH!

There's another person that works here whose throat clearing is so loud that there's a chance you're actually hearing him instead of your co-workers, dude.

Brazen throat clearing deserves a wire hanger up the keister!

You would toadally lose your marbles over this one loud guy's hacking. I'm so tempted to describe it in all it's explosively loud, wet, and phlegmy glory, but you'd probably curl into the fetal position and be sitting there in your office chair - catatonic - until midnight. (Uh oh, I kinda just did describe it in detail.)
