Office Annoyances

I never really understood the humor of The Office until I actually started working in a cube environment. It only intensifies the humor. I work in cube land and as much as I try to jazz it up, its still a cubicle.

My latest rants on office behavior.

• Stop clipping your nails at your desk. What also would be even better is if you put the clippings in the trashcan.
• Filing, too! One broken nail is understandable, but not 10. Stop annoying your fellow office workers and get a manicure over lunch. The noise makes me cringe.
• No stealing Diet Cokes out of the fridge. What is it about a community fridge that invokes stealing?? I feel like I am in living in a sorority all over again. It's gotten so bad that I hide my diet cokes in a file cabinet at my desk.
• That's neat you have jumped on the Pandora bandwagon. How about you invest in a pair of headphones? I don't consider the Black Eyed Peas or Hootie and the Blowfish to be helpful in my productivity. In fact, it's giving me a headache.
• In my building, there are a few lucky people that get an office, however they are glass. I can still see you when you pick your nose.
• Just because I sit by the community printer does not mean my stapler, tape dispenser, pens, and any other office supplies are free for the taking. I feel like Milton from Office Space all over again... "Has anyone see my stapler?"
• I love the girl scouts and your delicious cookies, but do you really have to pull the guilt card and send them to my desk to solicit sales?
