Things that Grind my gears

I have no use for time suckers at work.

There is a time and a place for fun at work but some of the chit chat that goes on is mind boggling. One of our managers is the worst offender.

This lovely lady comes in fashionably late, leaves early and takes 2 hour lunches. Fine - her time not mine no biggie. What drives me nuts is when she does eventually stroll into work she visits before she puts a foot in her office. Its shoes its dogs. One day my office partner timed her. She stood at another co-workers door for an hour and 20 minutes talking about their dogs.

Okay big deal but its the door way chit chat that pisses me off. I believe in an open door policy for my group and half the time I have to close my door to hear myself think.

I don't care about your shoes, your dogs (I like dogs), your latest purchase after a 2 hour lunch of shopping.

And then she wonders at 330 where the days has gone. The sad thing is she doesn't realize what a time sucker she is.
