Go Slow
Tuesday, August 03, 2004
The work day is almost over... it went rather quickly today. It seems to do that when you're actually working.
I had three run-ins with my annoying coworker... I'll call him Bobo.
When Bobo came over the second time to talk about non-work-related nonsense to my neighbor Jeff... I did my traditional manuveur to get up and walk away. I've spoken my mind to him before (rather bluntly)... that I don't want him near my desk especially when his Arse is directly behind my head and he's leaning over Jeff's desk. Just picture it. Not to mention he has a severe odor problem... and he's on an all-meat diet. You can imagine the smell.
But this time... he actually noticed. Wow. After months of ignoring him and trying my hardest to avoid him... he finally got a clue.
But instead of taking the hint... he remained there for a long while... probably talking about the Olympics or Doom3 or whatever to Jeff... But here's the clencher... he actually looked over to me... and waved with this grin on his face! Freak! Taunting me! Freak! I was so infuriated. I immediately started ranting at my Project Manager (whose office I had retreated to) about Bobo.
Btw.. I'm not the only one here that feels this way about Bobo.
So then, when he finally goes back to his seat, I go back to mine. Then I receive an email. From: "Bobo" Subject: "Do we need to talk?"
In the email, he goes on wondering if I am angry with him... I don't respond because by now, I'm so fed up with him, the only thing that would come out of my mouth is decouragement.
Needless to say, he avoided me the rest of the day... but was successful in butting into an unwanted conversation with Becky... she eventually walked away.
