My New Co-Worker ...

• Jawbreaker

  I have a guy at work that laughs at everything then coughs after he laughs. He laughs about stuff that is not funny (awkward situations, bad news, etc.). Not a real hard laugh but enough for you to wonder what the heck he is laughing about. Then he tops it off with a couple coughs.
  
  Nothing is really that funny.

  This morning she was "whisper-singing" (I can't call it anything else) very loudly. And it was in a foreign language ... German or Austrian maybe ... and periodically beteween lyrics, she made a sound somewhere between a cough and a dry heave. WTF???

  I dunno. I guess it's still German, but I'm told it has a really weird dialectical nuance to it.

  How would I know? I don't speak whatever language it was.

  LJ would know what language it is.
  
  Try recording her and posting it so we can hear it too.

  Careful. Calling LJ an expert is an infractable offense.

  I now miss just the weird noises and singing. She now has music playing all day, every day. It is, like some of her singing, in a foreign language as well.
  
  AND she was just eating this morning. It sounded like a she hadn't eaten in months and was amid an eating contest.

  Invite her to a movie and Explain it to her.

  I'll trade her for the bitch in my row who thinks using a heater and taking off her shoes is acceptable behavior in the middle of the summer at work. It makes it feel about 90 on my side of the office and at least once a week when she plugs it in it pops the circuit breaker. I've lost a few hours of productivity until I figured out it was her causing the issue now I have to save right b4 she sits down.

  nope. maybe they're sisters.
  
  she belches all the time, loud. she will randomly sing parts of songs, like a line every 15 seconds or so. she yells when everyone is on the phone. everyone is on the phone the whole time, no reason to yell. she talks about all her "dudes." she's an annoying bitch.
• O-Trap

  

  She's at it again. Listening to music in Spanish, turned up far too loud.
  
  I also have the misfortune of having her old chair now. It has prehistoric, petrified crumbs covering it and something that looks like jelly on the side of one of the arm rests. Disgusting.
  
  This will not do.
