Someone get me a hermetically sealed bubble, STAT!

The temp worker one of the managers hired on Friday has been loudly hacking, coughing and snuffling all freaking day. It's really getting on my nerves. And I already feel awful, so if I actually get sick I will be forced to wreak merciless vengeance on them both. Plus, I don't much like this temp. I can't really say why...I just don't get a nice vibe from her.

Argk - there she goes again! Urge to kill RISING!!

How timely! CNN is featuring a poll today about sleeping at work:

Have you fallen asleep or become very sleepy at work in the past month?
Yes: 62% (65185)
No: 38% (39444)
Total Votes: 104629

Add one more to the yes column, please.

Oookaaay...the coworker just got flowers from her husband (personally, I kind of think she sends them to herself) and the well past middle aged delivery guy just totally sexually harassed every woman working in this office. And not in an "Aw, that's kind of sweet and adorable" way - more of an "Ewww, old skeevy perv alert, man the battle stations" way. Ugh. I feel gross. Can I please go home now?

stilling running? ok see. not only did I forget to proofread (ok thats normal), but I add an extra syllable, and it just proves how junked up I am from that coffee right now!!!

Yeahhhh...I had nothing to do with hiring the last two and they've been less than stellar. There was one that I sat in on the interview for who I think would have been fine, but demi-boss wanted someone "older and more experienced". What we got instead was cranky and inept - she came in sick and germ-infested on her second day, asked waaay too many totally irrelevant questions, and somehow managed to screw up her printer settings. This one I'm labeling FAIL. The other boss just needs to come to terms with the fact that she is a horrible judge of people, and let me help with figuring out who would be a good hire.
