Revenge is a dish best served by sitting at my desk and opening up the really stinky sandwiches I made for myself today, instead of going to sit outside and eat.
A selection of cured and spiced meats with a nice garlic cheese. Now I have to find an excuse to turn and breathe heavily in her direction (trust me, there's no natural reason to do that).

Yep, forgot my [insert generic mp3 player here] this morning - after looking at it and my headphones and thinking "got to put that in my bag for the gym later".
Although, looking around the office, I'd be the only one wearing headphones and blocking out the world. I can already see someone raising a comment about it. And now she's decided that, when not droning on in her annoying accent, she has to sit there constantly nibbling away on some really crunchy nuts, celery, raw carrots and assorted "healthy" (not to my sanity) snacks, with her mouth open.Last edited by Ticktock; 5 June 2013, 11:11.

I just play Rammstien very loud, it helps me concentrate.
Open plan offices are crap places to code in.

Why can't they only hire people with nice accents like wot I have, or even some of the Scots have?
