    those people tend to have their own office too, and NEVER close the door :x
    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.

    girl # 1: OMG! this donut is HUGE!
    girl # 2: OMFG! that is a big donut
    girl # 1: i know right!?!
    girl # 2: are you going to eat it all?
    girl # 1: it's so big! maybe i should only eat half!

    why is a conversation about a donut lasting longer than 15 seconds!? JUST EAT IT! :fp:

    The worst is when it's people that clearly are nowhere near good eating habits...see the donut...and say 'oh I better not, I'm dieting' :fp:

    Then when you're not looking they wolf them down. :lol:

    just remember you are their to earn a living, not to be everyones' friend. If someone is a constant annoyance, chalk it up to the cost of earning a paycheck.
