. . . Does anybody else have that person that just drives you so bananas, you just literally want to curl up in the fetal position?
A certain engineer who sits in my vicinity is that person. He laughs all day long. Every successful technological transaction (an e-mail sent, an e-mail received, a IP address changed, a domain joined) results in a hearty chuckle. Although this is enjoyed more than the certain expression made famous by an Al Pacino role in a late 80's movie, co-starring the adorable (according to the Killer Robot's wife) Chris O'Donnell.
It's unbelievable that this stuff could make me so crazy - but between the chuckles, and the certain expression, and the talking to himself, and the flagellation (yes - there is flagellation - every afternoon).
And I bought the noise canceling headphones. And so, what does he (or she) do? He knocks on my cube wall to get my attention (which I don't hear - thank you Sony! - but I do notice, although I ignore), before tapping my THIGH (!) - I turn, and pull the headphones out, stopping what I was working on - he just wanted to say "GOOD MORNING SIR! - Didn't mean to disturb you, SIR! (it's like being in an episode of "Hogan's Heroes" with this cat) - to which I think - "In fact you did mean to disturb me, as you knocked vociferously on my wall and then touched my THIGH (!) just to get my attention - I believe that's the very definition of "meaning to disturb.""
More to come on this character . . .
