The Gossip Timer
May 8th, 2009
I encounter a lot of gossip where I work. For the most part, I really don’t wish to partake in the gossip as I have a lot better (okay, perhaps not “better” but *more*) things to do than engage in an hour long discussion about how one can see the color of a coworker’s panties through her white slacks to why a senior manager spends so much time in the bathroom to whatever. Personally, I prefer to go with the mantra of “the less I know, the better.”
That being said, I decided that today’s the day to official start the “gossip timer.” There are a few individuals who work close to me, one in particular, who has, IMHO, juuuust a little too much time on her hands. She constantly runs around in a frenzy, sometimes muttering “screw this” under her breath, to the point that I even wonder what she does around here. Seems like she’d be a lot more productive focusing her energy on her actual work than portraying herself as “the martyr.” I wouldn’t doubt coming to work one day and she’s in the middle of the floor, on her knees, screaming “SAVE ME, JAYZUSSSSSS!!!!” I guess I’d have to keep a large distance for fear of lightning tearing through the roof and striking her down.
Alright, the time I started this blog post is 7:55am. Timer’s ticking… Oh, and there they go… Off to “whisperland.”
Update: it lasted exactly 49 minutes. Next series commences…now…
