He Dies, annoyance ends. Everybody wins.

It's like I'm sitting next to a fucking animal.

I'm much worse than him i'll bet, but I have somewhat of an excuse. I might as well have been raised by wolves. But I know and I've been told that I eat like a animal, but I make no conscious effort to change it. In fact, if I see that someone is annoyed by it I exagerrate it by either grunting or belching really loud. It can really piss people off. It's great.

I never would have guessed.

 We are the only two trainees. One of the things that trainees do is answer the phones when the assistants leave. He will either:
a) Act like he can’t hear it at all even though the phone is like a fire alarm
b) Acknowledge the phone, push back from his desk and just wait with this confused look on his face like he doesn’t know what he’s supposed to do until I get it.
c) Eventually answer the phone if I make eye contact with him while it is ringing and he realizes that for this 1 time out of 10, I’m not going to get the phone and he’s going to have to. And instead of taking the extra effort to do anyway work, no matter WHAT the issue on the other end of the phone, he’s sending them to voice mail.

Sounds like the woman I work with. She could be playing solitare when I'm working, but if the phone rings, I have to stop what I'm doing to answer the phone. I've said jokingly to her a few times, "Ya know, I'm not the receptionist," but it just goes right by her.

Update: He got fired Tuesday.

Once again, I win.

Hey he uses all my good phone dodging tactics. Alright... :thumbup:

Another problem is when I answer the phone there's a 90% chance I'm going to be transfering the call to the philly office. The people I'm sending over never seem to grasp the concept of voice mail. Like the person theyre calling is in their office at all times. So theres a 70% chance that phone is going to ring and the same person is going to ask for the same damn person. So because of this whenever I transfer a call it is always followed by a brief bathroom break.
