Boo butlerfan no sleep and sickness is the worst!! This is my first full week at work in so long and I'm so grumpy. Also...H usually drives me on Thursdays but he would not wake up and usually I can just wait and go in whenever but I had to get in today so had to drive myself and I still missed the boat I wanted to take because I had to park. Grrrr.
Wait. You take a boat to work?? I'm trying to imagine where in the city you work that you'd need to take a boat! #soconfused

Ha! I live south of the city and there's a commuter boat to Rowes Wharf, which is just couple blocks from my office. I the boat. I don't take it every day bc it's a longer drive from my house than the crummy commuter rail...but a couple times a week I take it so I don't lose my ever loving mind with my commute from hell.

I stayed up until 2am finishing a shutterfly photobook so I could get the sale price that ended at 3am. That book better be the best damn thing in the world. I'm so effing tired.

ladytiffany24 - I'm curious to know what you told that manager about the noisy snorter complaint. I have mixed feelings on it. While I understand that you can't help but sniffle and blow your nose and stuff when you're sick, I also know that some people are just gross and make disgusting noises that absolutely don't need to be made. Kind of like when someone's walking down the street at hawks a loogie; that is never necessary and can always be helped. I work with a guy who clips his nails in his office all the time. You can hear it all the way down the hallway. HR knows it annoys the shit out of us, but won't say anything to him.
I'm so sad about Alan Rickman. I love Thursdays, today is my work from home day. I like being able to work from home in PJ's and not having to commute.

Speaking of people making unnecessary gross noises, does anyone else SO scream cough? My H coughs but instead of just coughing it has a vocal aspect to it and it's loud AF.

OMG mine has started doing it recently. Right before Christmas, he got extremely congested and was constantly trying to clear his throat or cough it up. It got really loud but I figured he'd go back to normal once it cleared. He still does it!

OMG yes. I posted about this a couple weeks ago. MH coughs from his toes every. single. time. It's so loud and obnoxious.
I'll be in and out today. I was lazy AF yesterday and didn't do anything productive except make dinner. And get a mani/pedi. Which isn't productive but was much needed. And it fulfills my NY resolution about making me time. So yeah, I'll be in and out today while I clean this damn house to make up for lost time yesterday.

I told the manager that unless the sound is distracting enough that it is causing a disruption in people's work, it shouldn't be addressed. First of all, if it's a cold, this too shall pass. Second of all, approaching people about sickness can be a sticky situation (no pun intended). Always looking out for legal ramifications as well.
As far as I know, only 1 person complained about this so-called snorting/sniffing situation. And we have a lot of chronic complainers here in this office. So I'm chalking it up to someone just being a pain in the ass. Unless I hear about other complaints or Manager comes back to me with concern that it is an actual disruption, there's nothing that needs to be said.
I definitely agree that some people tend to make some disgusting noises. And most of the people in this office sit in pretty close proximity to one another in cubicles. And there have been other situations that I've had to address due to noise, rather mostly talking...and people discussing politics and "sexual stuff" rather loudly. But someone sniffling because they have a cold? No, just no.
Someone clips their nails in his office?! That is disgusting. If someone complained to me about that, i feel like that's something I would address. I'd let the person know that it's unsanitary and should be done in the privacy of their own home. Eww.

I am admittedly a loud nose blower. DH laughs at me and is always astounded that it doesn't hurt me to blow my nose. I try to limit my nose-blowing at work because I know I'm loud. I sneeze loudly, too. My co-workers downstairs will sometimes call me, laughing, and say "bless you" after I sneeze.

I am a really loud sneezer, too. When DD was an infant, she would get startled and cry when I would sneeze. I had to make a point to stifle my sneezes, which I hate, but it was so much better than making a baby cry.

My best friend from college is a super loud hiccupper. Hers are those random sneaky, squeaky ones that come out of nowhere. We were in a lecture hall for a class one day, sitting up in the top row, and she let one loose and everyone in the lecture hall turned to see where it came from. LOL
DH is the LOUDEST sneezer. I get irrationally mad at him when he sneezes and DD is sleeping. I want to throat punch him!
+1. Evil stare is my throat punch but honestly I'd love to kick him square in the balls and be like "do it again bitch and I'll cut you". MH is the worlds loudest obnoxious sneezer. Allergy season is the actual worst.
I'm on a GoToMeeting with a vendor and the guy talks so slow I can barely pay attention thru a single sentence.
It's kinda making me stabby.
Web meetings + slow talkers = 45 minute nap for this girl. I don't know if it's true but someone told me that the meeting host can see if you're multitasking (they can't see what your doing but know if you're active on the CPU while the presentation is going on).
