And that's the end. Period. Full stop.

Save the baby neoprenes!!

oh, come ON!

here's my contribution. the person in the cube behind me is cleaning his desk. spritz spritz. spritz spritz.

but, at least he's not clipping his fingernails. yet.

(and this man dresses to impress every day, and is a designer. go figure.)

mood swung · Post by **mood swung** » Tue Jul 29, 2003 8:10 am

when he clips his toenails, let me know!

Post by **spooky girlfriend** » Tue Jul 29, 2003 8:18 am

Shouldn't he wait to clean his office until after he clips his nails?

Poppet · Post by **Poppet** » Tue Jul 29, 2003 8:30 am

i guess it could be his toenails. i just assumed fingermails. i don't get up to look, i usually leave the area.

ah, life in cubeville.

A colleague of mine was kind enough to pick up a copy of "Nasty Notes" for me...(desk display, stand up, nasty things we'd love to say out loud, but never do)...one of them reads:

"A CUBICLE is just a padded CELL without a door."

On a tour of her aunt's cubicle-filled office, my almost-8-year-old daughter said, in reference to said cubicles, "They look like bathroom stalls without the toilets."

More "Nasty Notes", from the cubicle of 'sulkygirl':

This isn't an office. It's HELL with flourescent lighting!!

well, that just commenced. at least, the sound of clipping.

time to go on walkabout.

I've got a cube-mate who sniffs. Can we work out a trade? The clipping would be a welcome relief.

Poppet · Post by **Poppet** » Thu Jul 31, 2003 9:58 am

sorry mood, better the devil i know.

This thread was slipping again.

Poppet: What ever happened to your nail clipping person? And Mood, your sniffing co-worker?

Well, my kids go back to school today. Maybe I'll find time to post again.

mood swung · Post by **mood swung** » Wed Aug 06, 2003 7:19 am

My sniffer got worse. Now she sounds like she's going to hack up a furball. Can I fedex myself somewhere?

Poppet · Post by **Poppet** » Wed Aug 06, 2003 8:48 am

mood, you come on out here to boston. there's a spare cube across from me for about another week, someone's on vacay, then i'm out for a week. maybe by then the furry person will be finished.

the nail clipper continues to occassionally clip his nails. i refuse to look.

in other stupid office news, i'm 'floor warden' for my area. that means i get to yell at people 'get the fuck outta here' when the fire alarm goes off.

oh, and wear a spiffy dayglo yellow baseball cap. it has 'Floor Warden' on it, and a lovely embroidered graphic of flames. tres chic.

Post by **spooky girlfriend** » Wed Aug 06, 2003 9:12 am

Oooh, Poppet. You must really be so vogue in your fire safety getup. My kids always love having fire drills at school - anything to leave class for a few minutes.

And being in Huntsville, a city where tornados love to visit, they have tornado drills as well. Of course, then they have to go sit in the hall, fold themselves into a little ball and put their heads between their knees. Gotta love elementary school, huh?

Mood, you could fedex yourself here and I'd buy us drinks for lunch.

Just thought id let you lot know im melting here, so if you never hear from me again its because im dead!!

We are having a heatwave here in England which is extremely unpleasant - up in the 90 degrees today with high humidity and very uncomfotable to work in despite the fan being on 24 hours a day. Course we are not geared up for air conditioning here so we just have to plod on and suffer working in it with a stiff upper lip (which by the way makes eating a very messy business!)

Roll on my favourite season - autumn!

mood swung · Post by **mood swung** » Wed Aug 06, 2003 11:21 am

well bless your heart, Gilli! Them's my kind of temperatures, but I (usually) have a/c. Put some ice in your tea and take your shoes off.

Load up the cooler and hit the beach!!

Poppet · Post by **Poppet** » Wed Aug 06, 2003 1:02 pm

gilli, when i lived in a third floor apartment, i used to put a bowl of ice cubes on level w/ my mattress, and direct the fan to blow over the ice cubes and towards me. might work at a desk too.

good luck. i know y'all aren't prepared to deal w/ such heat/humidity.

Uh-oh, people. This thread was slipping again.

Come on now.

Well, the heat wave is over. And I have a date tonight. (He promised he'd help me with my luggage in the morning.)

Hmmmm, that definitely seems promising Ms. BA...and subtle too!

I brought it back from the dead just for you, Moody.
