A guy moved into a nearby cube a few weeks ago. Just now I had to go over to tell him to “keep the humming down a bit”, because it was getting increasingly loud and atonal. So now he’s started drumming.
How long do you think it will be before he starts using his speaker phone to talk to somebody two cubes over?
I’m getting flashbacks to Blue Lobster and Global Crossing.
I didn’t think ringel lived around there, let alone worked with you 🙂
(he used to be in the cube next to mine and drove me nuts with humming and tapping on the desk… no speaker phone at least)
Oh, I hate speakerphones in cubes! They ought to be banned.
There are two offices and a conference room near my cube; It makes sense for THEM to have them, but sometimes I have to go and close the door on their speakerphones.
And there are certain bits of music I cannot listen to at work because I HAVE to sing along. Hearing ONLY the tenor part of Messaien’s TRANSFIGURATION is … disconcerting to the rest of the office.
That would drive me crazy. I have nothing else to say on this topic.
