Annoyances

This is my annual mention of how annoying it is when people start and continue conversations with me while I am clearly doing something else important.  I don't mind if someone asks me a question or makes a comment.  I don't mind if someone wants to have a conversation when nothing is going on.  But a couple of people at my office constantly want to talk about their kids sports teams or some stupid excrement they bought on amazon and expect me to respond while I'm typing up a report or a letter.  I have zero ability to multi-task, so now I have to sit there in limbo between a discussion I don't care about and something I need to do but can't concentrate on.  I'm too nice to tell them to shut up.  So I just sit and fume with a smile on my face.

I haven't responded to a single word you said or even looked at you.  Take a hint.

Quinoa. I don't care how freaking healthy it is, it has the consistency of cat litter.

Yeah.  I tolerate it.  Not bad if mixed in something else in small amounts.  Not sure how anyone can like it.  At best I don't mind it.

If I could keep doing what I was doing I wouldn't care, but it's just enough to distract me and pee me off.  I don't even pretend like I give a freak anymore, I just try to make no response or any gestures indicating I am listening.

After initial eye contact and greeting, I just completely ignore them and go on with the task at hand.

I don't get invited to the pub very often, but I get my work done.

I eat lunch in my office to avoid having to talk.  Lunch alone, 5 minutes.  Lunch with others, 30 minutes minimum.  Don't they have work to get done?

A large part of my job is listening to someone's unsolicited life story while extracting the tiny bits of relevant information needed to help them do what they came to me for.

At my last job I would have to bring in union reps to sign off on random excrement.  These were phone agents.  I would schedule them for 15 minutes, enough time for the task at hand.  By minute 30, I have been checking emails for 15 minutes not listening to a word they are saying.

I do not freaking care about your kid's graduation or your upcoming trip to Disneyland.  I am salary.  Please get the freak out now.
