Everything: from 8am to 5pm I'm a steaming ball of anger that struggles to act polite while planning small acts of office terrorism.

I've got a lot of small pet peeves
like:

  • A general lack of awareness in workplace safety practices
  • People listening and sending audio messages when they could type instead
  • People doing personal conference calls without a headset
  • When they say "can you please grab that thing on my desk?" and their desk is a post-earthquake library scenario
    and many others...
but the thing that bugs me the most is the general absence of people that "just do their job".
There are a lot of people that do fuck-all and a lot of people that work their lives off and both of those groups expect you to walk at their pace. I'd like to meet more people in the middle.
