Wow? Really? How incredibly interesting. NOT.

Ahhh, work. It seems like all the yammering seems to come from colleagues usually yammering about other colleagues. Ahhh, work.

I also work with someone that always says what she feels and it's kinda fun to put those two together and stand back and watch the sparks fly. The out-spoken one usually tells the complainer she could have finished her work in the time she just spent complaining about it. I know its rude but its true and it makes me giggle, some days you just have to laugh at how miserable people make themselves.

I think it is because she is self centered and never listens to me (and actually hasn't even ever asked how I am from my surgery!) but there is only so much caring I can do about the same damn thing every time I talk to her. I tend to daydream and hope she has to go soon. That is wrong and not nice and whatever, but it's the truth. Unfortunately it is someone I have to deal with and be nice to or I would just cut her out I think. I don't have time enough for people I like, why would I spend time with someone like this unless I had to! I have someone who is like this and I can’t stand to listen to her.

She doesn't really carry a conversation, she just...TALKS. About absolutely nothing. She talks about everyone like I've never heard of them before, so I've heard many people's life stories about twelve times. It's a bit absurd. She specializes in bringing up sad memories...like saying "Oh that's the dress you wore to my sister/mom's memorial service." I also wore it to graduation...why are we focusing on the bad?? It's in a monotone voice too. On and on and on. BF can tone it out, but I feel rude doing that. Sooooo annoying. I could go on forever. Call me if you need a huge rant. :) Ummm my boyfriend’s mom does this ALL THE TIME. She doesn’t really carry a conversation, she just…TALKS. About absolutely nothing.

My "friend" is always complaining about anything & EVERYTHING possible. I swear. There is always something wrong with her, she is always having the worst day ever, she never has enough time, school is always too hard, nothing ever goes right, blah blah BLAH. I wish she would just STFU and make the most out of her life instead of wasting it complaining about everything!! Obviously life isn't always perfect, but its a whole lot better if you just appreciate it for what it is! Rant complete. :) I feel better. Wow Kim, I think you just read my mind.

OOPS. You mean we’re NOT supposed to interrupt people to tell them we don’t care?!

He does not have a clue to social norms and does nto stop talking. He will follow you around to continue to tell his story (usually pointles). I learned fast never to ask him a question, it will be a 20 minute answer followed by so what did you ask me again. He is so bad that my boss is always "busy" on IM and I have asked not to have him put on any of my projects and my boss and his boss agree. The second is a girl that I don't direcly deal with but she is so loud and tries to hard that it turns people off.
