Two things that are driving me crazy at work right now…
We got a new phone system and now people are able to choose how they want their phones to ring. Instead of having a uniform ringer sound throughout the office and all around me, I have to deal with 8 or 10 different rings now. I didn’t think it was going to be a big deal, but wow! Slightly annoyed.
People go to meetings that can last 2 hours or longer here. This is not uncommon. These people also own cell phones. They have them on vibrate at their desks because it’s not allowed to ring while at the office. That’s the good part. The bad part? They leave these phones on their desks or in their metal drawers when they go to these meetings. I’m constantly berated by loud vibration sounds in the metal drawer or on the top of the desk as the phone dances about. It wouldn’t be so bad if some of these people weren’t uber popular or had significant others/friends that can’t take the hint that they may be working at work and call every 10 minutes. Yikes!
