I have decided to start a new series of posts that have to do with things that annoy me at the office.
Today's rant... the people who talk like they are in the market (in the "shuk"), whom you can overhear LOUDLY even though they are in the office with the door closed. Now here I am, trying to concentrate on some Java code that is not cooperating and I have to listen to them laughing their effin heads off incessantly.
What to do?
Walk over and ask them to pipe down? hmmm... Not passive Aggressive enough.
Pack up and work from home? Tempting but my remote connection is temporarily disabled.
Now it just happens that one of the culprits sits a couple of cubes next to me, and it also happens that the rest of my team is not here today.
Which makes it a perfect time to play Britney's "Circus" album over and over again without headphones.
Loud.
It achieved not only the goal of distracting me from their Hyena-like laughter, but also served to annoy the one that came back to his desk after the meeting. Or so I hope.
Mission Accomplished.
We'll see if he's too passive aggressive to say something.
Payback's a BITCH!
