La Vie Boheme

Something that really irritates me is when people at work constantly are around my desk and cubicle and will not show some respect and at least try to act like normal people. I mean, it really beeps my buttons when the men who walk by my desk make sounds and talk loud to each other and what ever else it is that they do. And I don’t know if they just don’t see me working there and trying to concentrate or if they really maybe just do not even care about what I think about it.

It does not help that my desk is very close to the water cooler since men always are coming up to it and slurping water loud as they walk away or just stand around and talk to other men loud. It is definately bothering to me since it seems like I can not get any work done when they do these things. And one man keeps going up again and again to get water and I think he breaths louder than a horse and also he grunts. And I hate it when people do that.

So today the man was going up to get some water or whatever and he saw one of the other men, his friend who also works here. And they started talking loud about work and some things they were doing. Look jerks I really do not care about what is going on with your work since I have plenty of work on my own plate on a single day. And it’s always really embarrasing to me that people do that because it is like they know I am there but they keep on doing it. And so I cleared my throat loud to try to make them stop and I guess they did not hear me or maybe they just didn’t care. Because they kept on talking and would not stop for a minute as they talked and slurped water and I got really ashamed and mad.

Then things got even worse when I asked my boss if I could maybe leave early and also if I could move into a different cube closer to him so I could get away from the noise and he said no to both of my questions and I felt really dumb. GOD!
