So. I usually work from home 3 days a week but need to be in the office this month. Interacting with people 5 days a week has it's advantages except for the dude across from me being shoeless right now. No shoes, no socks. Unreal. I think I'm to the point of asking him if he got his shoes stolen on the way in.

    Oooh, weird. Some ladies do that here. Still kind of weird, but not as bad. I don't want to see other men's feet, especially at work.

    Thats normal. The building i work in has almost 5k employees in it. I go to entirely different regions of the building.

    Before smartphones there was a 50 50 chance you would find a printout of a Simmons article on the floor.

    don't even get me started on the strange habits, sounds, smells that come from all around me. I can't stand it.

    ok, one thing, without being too specific about who - but let's just say that lunch time can smell like rotten chinese food. And it hits like a wave of stench, I almost gag - literally have to get up and walk away. I mean I like chinese food, but this stuff is nothing like I have ever had. Just foul, like boiled, sour cat piss.

    who knows?, maybe I do. But I am aware that there are other people around me who probably wouldn't appreciate me doing some of the things I see, hear, smell.

    that's why I keep a can of Lysol in the cabinet behind me, for when people walk through my area, sometimes I can't wait to leap out of my chair and start spraying.

    and the chinese food someone mentioned, there are a lot of asian people at my work place, and no offense to anyone, but some of the nasty stuff they eat, gags me to no end. Some type of fish stuff that they then microwave, turns my stomach, I have to get up and walk away.

    theres one guy here that wears no shoes during the day. walks around the floor with customers and all and has no shoes on. wth?

    another guy who belches no matter who's around. And does not excuse himself. Does it purposely to piss people off. I can see if there aren't customers around...but come on...control it when we have international customers in.

    geeze...i can go on and on...quite a bit of weird shit.

    I do that too....hoping specifically for one coworker in particular to pop in my office to tell yet another one of her pointless, idiotic stories I couldn't care less about
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    I used to work with a guy who wore flip flops to work after he was told that it wasnt ok to wear them. His feet must have had some rigor-mortis or something because that was the most wretched attack on my olfactory senses I ever had. keep your shoes on.

    And dont microwave fish please! :evil:

    I definitely walk around barefoot from time to time, but I have my own office so it shouldn't bother anyone :D I like to sit on a Pilates ball instead of a chair, some may say that's weird. Oh I also do some jump-roping every hour on the hour to get the blood flowing. Hmm I'm starting to think I'm the weird one in the office!!

    I play a game called 'how many times can I turn off the coffee pot in one morning.'
    It's fun when a few of them get pissed off about it.

    My next game is gonna be called 'how many times can I blame the coffee pot fiasco on someone else.'

    There's this lady that finds it necessary to touch my shoulder before she starts a conversation. It's pretty creepy. I think it's time to tell her to step off

    the people who put a bag of popcorn in the microwave and set it for like 5 minutes and walk away...they only come back when the entire place reeks of burnt popcorn....or the microwave is on fire.

    that stuff stinks up the place for days...and when you nuke your lunch, your lunch smells/tastes like burnt popcorn.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
