Sound/Smell proof my Cubicle
As I sit here (with headphones on) and still over hear EVERY stupid conversation that goes on throughout the day, I get more annoyed that people are so inconsiderate with their coworkers. This is why I am thinking about sound/smell proofing my cubicle.
Things like:
- Cell phone ringers - turn them on vibrate, thats what the options for
- Conversations - if personal, take them out of the office, I don’t care about what you did last night, or what you are doing tonight
- Scents - perfumes and colognes use them sparsely
- If you leave your cubicle take your phone with you
- Talk in a normal decibel, If I can hear you, your talking to loud
- Stop moaning or making stupid noises as they irritate everyone that surrounds you
- If I can hear you from 30 feet away, your ANNOYING, Shut up!!
So based on a couple of these above issues has really determined me to Sound/Smell proof my cubicle. I don’t know how yet, but something has to be done as I should not be constantly bothered by irritations from my surroundings as they hinder my overall performance on doing my own job.
If anyone has some suggestions, you know how to contact me as I am going CRAZY!!

Good How About Yourself?
Seeing I work in a office with a customer support agent sitting right next to me one of the most ANNOYING things to hear is the ever infamous…”Good How About Yourself” phrase. Years ago when I was working at a Bike Shop, my old boss would say this all the time and me and my coworker would tease him every time he said it. I guess since I am getting older I get more annoyed by repetitious phrases that seem to cut through me whenever I hear them.. This includes the one I blogged about before “To Be Perfectly Honest“. Of course I wear headphones to drown out as much noise from the outside world as possible, but I do not want to be completely deaf by the time I am 40 so I play them at a reasonable level.
