The Thing About Cubicles…
Here’s the thing about working in a cube - it doesn’t have to suck. If, for example you work with a fun group like mine, its actually quite nice - the whole team is in a cube, we laugh, we joke, its all good.
But lately, I am on assingment to another group. They don’t play quite as nicely as my group does. And so today it does suck. Big time.
I can hear, over and through this pre-fabricated wall of carpet and steel, the delicate slurping noises of boiled peanuts being eaten.
I hate boiled peanuts, but if that’s your thing, more power to you. Just don’t make me listen to it.
I should have titled this post “John’s Biggest Pet Peeve,” and I could have gone on and on about listening to people eat / chew / drink. I guess I could still go on and on, no matter what the title is, but I like the small semblance of focus I have going here. I digress.
Please, people - chew with your mouth closed. Even and especially when chewing gum. Its just common courtesty.
