It's wonderful when she is off as I have total silence and my brain starts to breath!”
Oh, I work with two people like that!
One, who's in the same office as me, never shuts up! Even when she's concentrating on work, she thinks out loud. And with the continual running commentaries, I can't hear myself think.
When the other arrives in the morning, she has her mobile phone glued to her ear and she spends the whole day on the phone, at full volume, so we all have to hear every detail of her very uninteresting private life. And when she does do some real work, which is usually making phone calls, she keeps the phone on loud speaker, also at full volume, so that the entire place gets disturbed. I don't know why my boss puts up with it!
