People I work with

I'm sure there are things I do that get on their nerves. It's only fair, after all.

Today the guy next to me is listening to comedy on his headphones and chuckling to himself. When he laughs like that, he sounds like a baby with hiccups.

Oh, and I don't make a lot of money. Ho hum.

I work alone these days.. it's good.

I've done that to get some coats off. You know what bothers me the most about the students that come into the lab. Some don't hang the lab coats back up on the rack before they leave.

I imagine catching one of them one of these days and strangling them with it.

Hey, it's Monday morning! Perhaps I should talk about other people for a change.

There's two guys who work here who started on the same day, sit next to each other, and who always go around together. So much so that, although I know their names, I don't know which one is which.

Apparently, they're not gay. There are six gay men on our floor, and eighteen straight. I also think there's one repressed homosexual, but my gaydar's out of date by now, so what do I know?

The mature, German lady that's been a secretary in my dept. for years just entered rehab. o_O

Did anyone notice anything strange before she went?

Anyway, I just went into the bathroom to wash my face. I'm at the basin, washing, when another guy comes in and goes over to the cubicle. First thing he does is flush the toilet. I think "Was there a poo in there?" If so, he's going to think it was me. So I quickly debate whether or not to say "Was there a poo left in there? If so, it wasn't me." but that would just sound weird and probably more suspicious than if I just said nothing. Then I heard him pissing so I couldn't talk to him anyway, so I left.

Toilet etiquette: it's a minefield.

I was sitting in a bathroom stall when I overheard this snippet of conversation between a couple of students.

"Can you show it to me?"
"Not right now. I'll email you a picture though."

Recently, the Irish guy next to me (who resembles Batfink, or Eddie Munster) has started talking about his trips to the gym in an attempt at impressing the Greek woman. Apparently, last night he did two hours there.

Also, this morning they were talking about the Greek woman's flatmate, who is an accountant, and he said, all sarcastic like, "That's interesting, I bet he's a real party animal." At this point I wanted to point out that he's a data entry clerk, and we don't exactly rank highly up the list of Exciting Jobs for Fascintaing People.

Isn't that weird how people make fun of others for having the same faults as themselves?

Today, my hygenically-challenged friend already stinks, and it's only nine o'clock.

It's going to be a long day.
