MAN some mornings I'm so thankful Freeze Frame is here - and not just because this is the week of being thankful! We have this guy at my office who is on his phone constantly - and not work related. He works like 7am until 1pm... so he's got great hours to begin with. But then whatever side businesses he runs, he's got to be on the phone for them here to. He literally wears one of those dangly phone things around the office. I don't know why the office puts up with it, it's very obvious in the quality of his work that he's not paying attention because he's on the phone all the time. ARGGH! But worse, they've slowly moved him down the hall MY way - so he's louder and louder - thank goodness I can put on headphones and tune him OUT! He must have some kind of amazing skill they can't find every day, because that's the only thing that explains why he's still here...

Thanks for the vent!

           Well good morning to you too !!


  Maybe he's related to someone higher up ? Find out what his phone # is and call em up ,


 then hang up , repeat again and again.. I would say breath heavy but that don't work to well when a girl does it , or you can pretend you got the wrong # lots of times , possibilities are endless with this one.

Heh, oh yes, good morning!!!

Nope, definitely not a case of "he's the boss's political candidate's best friend's golf partner's nephew"... I think it's just hard to find people for that position - and no one wants to deal with it. So they keep moving him physically father away from them, and closer to me... FFR has been the best solution so far!

I know what you mean Zim. There's two people here who seem to be on the phone with their families the entire 8 hour day. One of them put a customer on hold the other day to answer their cell phone!!! This person is pretty close to the the boss, so on Thanksgiving, they got permission to be gone all week this week. I've been weasled!

Oh, and good morning!

I think that guy exists in every office. I got to move away from mine a month ago. Dude had rental property and LOVED to talk real estate. Aside from that, I unfortunately had to learn that he has a psychotic ex-wife, a daughter he rarely gets to see because of said psycho ex-wife, and he's obviously none too bright himself as he has a habit of drinking and riding his brand new Harley... which he was so drunk at least once that he forgot to put down his sidestand when he parked it. The people who were fixing his paint job must have had saintly patience to not park that bike up his backside when he came to get it.

This Monday just gets better and better... I just found out my daughter's teacher is moving to a non-teaching position at school. I love it when promotion and standing takes precedence over students.... This happened last year to my daughter's class... her teacher left mid-year and they had two more teachers that year. I always thought schools were really strict about teachers staying their term. And this is for an internal position at the same school! You'd think they could have taken care of this before the school year started if it was so important... or that the teacher could wait until next year. And there's nothing, as parents, we can do. I'm so irritated...

I agree, it makes no sense to switch a teacher mid-year unless there are urgent circumstances...

We just moved into a new building that has WHITE NOISE.  Freaking thing sounds like the air conditioner is on constantly.  Drives me completely MENTAL!!!!  I can't stand the noise so I put on my headphones.  FF is saving my sanity.

That white noise generator does suck.  It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't so darn loud!  I have the headphones on most of the time too.  My boss and co-workers have gotten used to having to gain my attention... they throw little nerf balls at me when they want to talk to me.  It's a hoot around here!!

My boss practically does the funky chicken to get my attention.

Things are looking up... I overheard the boss say the talker may be moved downstairs to make room for a new HR person. YEA! And... this may be a window of opportunity to get my daughter a specific high-demand teacher for fourth grade, if we play our cards right. You are not supposed to be able to request teachers, but I think under the circumstances, it's the very least they can do.

See.  Every cloud has a silver bullet.  I mean silver lining.
