However, I hate people that can only TALK about the transit strike more. Let me begin with telling you 'I work in cubicle land'...so I can hear what everyone is talking about...all the time. Now usually I can tune a person out like nobody's business, I do that when there is a temperature change of more than 2 degrees...because its now office fodder...its so cold today, its so warm today, winter must be over, oh just wait for it, we're due for another storm, etc, etc. Don't get me started on our office 'weather watchers'...I sit beside a huge window, so I don't need people to tell me the weather, I look the F outside...annoying.
But since Metro Transit and their respective union have gone on strike, its all I hear about. Don't get me wrong, I keep updated on it...you know...via the news, or news paper. I do not need a diatribe at work on the latest news...I already know it. Stop trying to pretend that you're in the 'know', that you have some hidden piece of information that could somehow shed light on this situation. You don't know anything more than any other person who had the good sense to turn on the radio, pick up a paper or turn on the tv.
Yes, it makes me bitter, I can't help it, I feel like walking outside my cubicle and saying if you can't find anything remotely interesting to talk about in your life...please, please for the love of all that is good, STFU.
Instead I hold the rage inside, and in silent protest, I don't engage in any conversation with this person...I give the polite, 'Good Morning' and then nothing, nada, zip. Does this make me a bitch, I don't think so, I think it makes me a person who actually has work to do and doesn't want to listen to her garbage...oh and yes a bitch sometimes too. Fine, I admitted it.
OMG...could it be...there is silence around my cubicle, I must go and relish this blessed event...while it lasts, because not everyone is in the office, yet, and I can tell she's waiting, hidden, ready to pounce on the next person who innocently walks by her desk.
SERENITY NOW!!!
