Q: Office Space!!!

Did anyone see this movie??? It was one of my favorite movies. Do you remember Milton and the red stapler? And when they kept moving his office until they moved him in the basement???

Well...

There is a lady at work who grinds on everyones nerves. She only works part time and the rest is made up for by workmans comp - back injury. Well, she shouldn't even be working in our office, but they can't fire her because of fear of a lawsuit. So she continues to work despite being given the grunt work in the office.

She also happens to share an office with me. She used to be up front, and then they moved her to a very small office, but then, she got moved to my office. My office had two desks, so it was ok at first...she was supposed to have left or be taken off workmans comp in March, and she is still here.

She has always gotten on my nerves, but the past few days it has gotten really bad. First off, she doesn't like my radio station or the fact that she can't hear it...I only keep it on for background noise, not for the music. So because she can't hear my radio, she brought her own. Well she doesn't listen to my station, so she wears headphones. Not so bad.....YEAH RIGHT!!!! So now she hums ALL DAY LONG Evil or Very Mad and absolutely drives me crazy. She can't hear how loud she is being so she does it even louder...

Yesterday was the last straw. I had a very important report that had to get done by lunchtime...well my boss passed me in the hall and asked how it was going, and I told him I would get a lot more done if there wasn't so much humming noise in my office...just joking with him...(its kinda an ongoing joke with what she actually does in the office.) And he said, Ok thats enough, you need to be able to concentrate and do your work...we are going to order you your own desk...YEAH!!!!!!

I am so excited. Yesterday they ordered it and today after she left, we moved our old desks out and made room for my new desk... So now I will have my own office all to myself to listen to whatever I want to and not be distracted. You have no idea how nice this is going to be.

So as for her, they moved her again to a really small desk in the corner of our conference room. I just keep thinking of Milton from Office Space...I hope she doesn't attack me when Im not looking or blow up the building or anything...

I hope you guys don't think Im being mean, you have no idea how long I have been waiting for this, and how hard it is to share an office with this woman. It is just really hard to explain it to you without you knowing her...

I don't think it's mean, I think you're funny and I understand what you're saying, YAY FOR YOUR OWN OFFICE!

Congrats, that sounds so great!! I couldn't get anything done with that going on IN MY OFFICE either. I'd kill for my own office.

You should take a picture.

Funny you should say that about the stapler Heather...

She came in my office this morning, and said "love what you've done with the place" I wanted to smack her. THen about 30 minutes later, she comes to where I was sitting and asks if this pair of scisser (sp?) are mine and I said no, so she said, well they are mine and Im going to take them. That means that she was rummaging through my stuff in my office and found them and took them.

Thank goodness you only have 2 more days with her. Hopefully she doesn't start singing or humming!!!!

Christy, as soon as they finish my desk I will take some pics. They tried to put the desk together today and they realized that the hardware didn't come in the package. Stupid Office Depot...So now I have to wait for it to come in. I am using the credenza as my desk right now. Kinda small, but it works

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh - Its my Oh face OOOOO

Bridget it took all I had not to bust out laughing at her this morning.

I asked around my office today if anyone had ever scene Office Space and no one had...I don't know how that is possible. So I told them about it, and I said that we better get the cameras focused, because she could possible be setting something up to explode or something.

My husband introduced me to Office Space. It's ridiculously hilarious and this does sound just like that.
