11. On the bright side - at least it isn't their toenails

:puke:

[Lerkfish]

12. there are two 18 yr old girlie girls in the next cubicle.

I'm 46 and happily married, thank you, I'm not talking about that. :)

What I mean is they chatter constantly in that hyperhelium girltalk...like, omigod! like when people coo over a puppy. Only its ALL DAY LONG. since I have no choice since they do it so loudly, I know which of the other male employees they find unbearably cute. And I get to hear them talk about much they love each other like sisters.
And their favorite trick is to call the other's phone and then hang up (they are 1 ft away from each other. They do this EVERY DAY. You'd think they'd catch on by now.

Luckily, my wife suggested headphones, so I just plug them and blast some music


ahhhhhh....

what's funny, though, is when one of the "cute guys" comes over and chats with them. Then they shift into coy flirt mode. Since I can't SEE them, but just hear them, its hilarious.

13. Is it OK to whistle the "Sunshine of Your Love" guitar riff repeatedly

for 15 minutes or so?

[progmom]

14. i am going to have to say no.

My other cube neighbor sings the chorus to Joni Mitchell's "Dreamland" all day long. Now...I adore Joni Mitchell....but this is making me crazy.

[madinmaryland]

17. I gotta blow my nose now!

Can i do that?

[In_The_Wind]

18. well ... would it be OK if I just hum ....

Kirsty MacColl - Last Day of Summer

I think I just recalled a time
It was not the moon and not the wine
And though you said you were a friend of mine
I never felt that way inclined
Oh the days were hot and the nights were long
I must have sung a million songs
But all the words just came out wrong
On the last day of summer

I tried to walk the line
Hoped everything would turn out fine
But I think I fell in love that time
On the last day
And then the rain came down and
Sparkled the signs of the underground
And the darkness fell all over town
On the last day

I think I dropped my guard that time
I was flesh and blood and grit and slime
And I think I may have lost my mind
On the last day of summer
I think I fell in love back there
It was tooth and nail it was bones and hair
And you’ll never never know how much I cared
On the last day of summer

And though I think I fell that time
It was not the only fault of mine
But all I wanted was a sign
On the last day
I think you broke my heart that day
And nothing I could do or say
Could make the coldness go away
On the last day

The winter changes everything
And the raindrops freeze
On the signs of the underground
I wonder will you think of me
When you look up and see
There’s a full moon over london town

I think I was away the day
When you said you were too smart to play
And you’d only beat me anyway
It’s funny how I would have stayed
And you said you were a friend of mine
But that’s not what I had in mind
I think I fell in love that time
On the last day of summer

I tried to walk the line
Hoped everything would turn out fine
But I lost the reasons and the rhymes
On the last day
And then the rain came down
And sparkled the signs of the underground
And the darkness fell all over town
On the last day

19. If I Have My Own Office, Is It OK?

I'll do it over the garbage can!

20. God only knows what must go on in there.

21. You Don't Want To Know

The work i do would make most people's eyes glaze over. Lots of numbers. Lots of higher mathematics. Lots of science.

And my downtime in here is, well, never mind.
The Professor

22. That reminds me

They are getting a wee bit long - I'll have to take the clipper into work on Monday. :D

[GalleryGod]

23. I am so lucky not to have to earn a living in that environment.

But...who could've forseen Cube Farms coming back 20 years ago.:puke:

[zbdent]

24. INCOMING!

Hit the deck!

[bikebloke]

25. A colleague would clip his toe nails

....in the office. The clippings nearly took the arm off our intern. He said his girlfriend didn't like him doing it at home.

[1gobluedem]

26. Or at a managers' meeting

Like a certain chief engineer we all love has an unfortunate habit of doing.

I'm thinking I might take some polish remover, cotton, and new polish and polish my toenails at the next meeting just to see what happens. I can still get my feet on the table without much trouble.

[progmom]

28. ahhh - that is wrong wrong wrong!

:puke:

and you know...if you did your toenails in the meeting, God only knows what a certain music director would do to one-up you next time. :eyes:

[1gobluedem]

30. Bikini wax?

No, no, I can't bear to think about it.

[miss_kitty]

27. Ish!
