Do you work with some really strange and I mean STRANGE people?
Gosh, my new job is working out okay but there's this strange gal who is on the other side of me who seems very sensitive to whatever I do at my desk.

Like breathe. Apparently she got huffy that I was congested the past week and sniffling. (okay, I got some more medication to help control the "problem" give me a break!)
But she erected a barricade over her cubicle with some old cardboard. Her co-worker beside her told me she's sensitive to noise and tends to overreact to things. Like, duh?

I ask people who have worked with her longer what's up with her? They just roll their eyes.
I always thought she was weird but come on....I'm getting tired of working with drama queens. :shrug:

Just leave me alone and I'll leave you alone. :eyes:

8. I used to work with a guy who apparently had Tourette's
Some of the oddest things would fly out of his mouth, like "pants," "panties" and our favorite, "Shit on a whore."

He also belched quite loudly and often, and he had messed-up sinuses as well. When he snorted, you figured a few paper clips and a couple of pens got sucked into his nose.

He was a notorious ass-excavator, too.

9. Everyone I work with is strange to one extent or another
Including me. I'm not sure if we work there because we're strange or if we're strange because we work there.

It's one of life's great mysteries. :shrug:
