    Indeed.

    Curtains for yourself. Tissues for those you come across.

    I guess that depends on the size of the knob.

    You know what? You're right. He sits there all day talking tulipe on the phone, does no work, pisses off everyone who has to work with him, and gets paid well. He's an agent!

    No this one

    I thought we need a thread to vent. Well I do anyway. I'm in the contractor corner with one other guy. This guy comes in spends at least 4 hours every single f**kin day making private calls, no exageration, friends, family he even puts together conf calls with all his mates and sits there talking, laughing. Puts down the phone, waits, oh, 10seconds, another call. All day. Bizarre. Manager doesn't notice. I am so tempted to grass him up. I think if he gets a contract extension (probably not) I will.

    Doesn't anyone else hate their co-workers?
    Yep. Ask VF he knows how much I hate some people here.

    Take up humming or singing.
    Get a tennis ball and start bouncing it against his desk.
    Start asking him personal questions about whoever he's been talking to.
