I work at a university, and get the week after Christmas off. So there is zero to do this week, and I get rewarded with a nice quiet office while everyone mentally checks out.

This one guy I work just cannot deal with peace and quiet. He's been trying to strike up conversations out of nowhere all day and no one has taken the bait. So he's resorted to sitting at his desk and making really loud commentative sounds over what he's reading on his computer.

Every few minutes it's

"Oh wow!"

"Pffft... can you BELIEVE that?!"

"You gotta be kiddin me!"

"Oh man... this is gonna be sweet."

"What?...I thought that... in RUSSIA?!...no way!"

Leave it alone dude. I'm on RTTP. You couldn't even wrap your pedestrian brain around it.

Please post similar pre-holiday work gripes. Unless you work in retail or grocery and your Christmas week is a nightmare in which case lol @ u.

backed. i don't have much to add to this. we have a "guy who can't leave well enough alone" and he officially moved out of this department today. so it's dead quiet and i'm watching ice melt out of our overloaded freezer.

I've been doing work for RISD lately... but almost the entire student body has been gone on winter break. So basically I've been going into work at nights just to sit on my ass rather than do things I'd like to go, like go to shows...

At least I'm getting paid.

I've never worked an office job so I can't really compare it to hard labor, but I'd imagine on a lot of days, having to devote your mental energy to something you don't really care about doing all that much just to draw a paycheck is just as exhausting as all the physical work in the world, even if it doesn't thrash your body.

I am so fucking sick of editing wedding pics I could throw up, cry, scream and throw up again. If I don't finish this wedding today I'm going to fucking kill myself.

I also have a party to throw tomorrow and my apartment is trashed and no cookies have been made. Wah wah wah.

I would rather die than jockey a cubicle. Which is why I'll never have a 401k or be able to retire, but whatever.

You should strike up a conversation with him and speak solely in explosions and antiaircraft fire.

I've definitely seen people at jobs I've worked rock iPods before. Just saying.

That's impossible. He'd actually have to get laid first.

this is the first job i've had where i sit at a desk all day, previously i did only labor, factories, delivery, stuff like that. i would give anything to get back into that field, the physical exhaustion was infinitely better than this emasculating bullshit.

Being held late at work because I'm waiting for some physician to finish writing a letter that I already wrote. Egos will drive you craaazy.

And you suckas should get your own offices.
