The Office I

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!

F-I-N-A-L-L-Y!

Sorry I've been away for a while - the holidays (Hanukkah), my being sick and very busy at work unfortunately took precedence.
However as Britney said... I'm here now.
I cannot believe this moment has come. I am giddier than I was when I heard Britney was back. Israel has officially joined the league of civilized Western Nations.
Has Peace come to the Middle East? Better!
Is the recession over? Who Cares???

In the words of an annoying little girl who stared at the TV in a classic Speilberg movie (no doubt waiting for annoying little dogs to show up and take over the neighborhood).....


"THEY'RE HEEEEEEEEERE"



Oh YES! The Chihuahuas have made Aliyah! Beverly Hills Chihuahua is playing in Israel!
I saw the poster while going to see the movie Bolt (really good! Not like that F*cking DUMM-E movie). Miley Cyrus was great, John Travolta - not so much. But I digress! The great thing about movies like this for kids is that you can see them in English AND dubbed to hebrew. Valley-Chihuahuas speaking the Holy Language?

I may have to go see this movie twice!!!!
