Keep your cube to yourself...

Okay, so I quite enjoy my little cube here at Kuehne+Nagel. I decorated it nicely, I keep it tidy and organized, and I adorned it with my iHome so I have some tunes during the day. I always keep it low so it can't be heard in the cube next to me...I thought this was just common policy/courtesy.

I work in exports, run by 8 women, 2 men, and 1 questionable other. However, my desk is located in imports, where I am the ONLY girl in this section of the building. (This is essential.)

So, the guy on the end of my row, (4 cubes down) continues to play music at a more than adequate level. Some days it's country, so I don't mind.

Today is AC/DC day.

Most people know that I cannot STAND AC/DC because of the singers screaming, raspy, strangled voice. Of course, who is going to say anything to this guy--I sit with a bunch of guys!

Our cubes are not your typical cubes--no high walls to shield you from the person next to you. The walls between each cube are roughly 2 feet tall--just enough to know when your neighbor's beady little eyes have fallen upon you...

So, I guess my question is, do I say something, or do I just turn mine up louder? My iHome is capable of some serious volume, I could take him. I keep mine unusually low, in case the "Barbie Girl" or "I Like Big Butts" song comes on--god forbid!

I have slowly eased the volume up throughout the day, but his still rises far above a courteous level.

Erin, do you have any clever ideas? You have some pretty weird people in your office, too :)

PS--Is AC/DC even work-appropriate music? I should think not...

DEE DEE DEE

So, on the way to work this morning on 35E south, this lady was in her fancy little Pontiac G6, and I watched her cut a truck off. I didn't think much of it. So, I was going faster than the both of them, so I caught up and kept passing them on their right (my exit was only a mile away). The Pontiac driver looks in her side mirror, sees me coming, and stays in her lane. This made me uneasy. She waits until im 2 FEET AWAY from her to merge over--no blinker, no 2nd look, she just went.

I slammed on my brakes, but I still hit her bumper pretty hard. When we pulled over, she asked me what we were supposed to do. She had to be about 30, but she was a skinny, blonde, spoiled princess--that was obvious. I told her that I wasn't going to call the police, because her car was MESSED UP, and mine doesn't even have so much as a paint mark. Not to mention the accident was 100% her fault, and she admitted she made a mistake. I told her that I was taking her name and license plates down, and if anything goes wrong with my car, I'd be contacting her.

Ya know, everybody gives me crap for my Saturn. "Oh, it's a Saturn, those suck" or my personal favorite, "oh, plastic car...." Well guess what, the plastic car kicked some ass this morning! I can't believe my luck, to not get a single mark on my car in my first car accident!

Not the best way to start my morning, on top of being late, but i'll manage.

My First Blog!

Okay, so I can't promise that i'll keep up with this. I am jealous of everyone having blogs...and what do I have? MYSPACE. Don't get me wrong, i love my myspace--it just seems like this is more grown up, for a change. I will probably post little surveys and such--I find them amusing. Also, I don't always use the best grammar, or any writing skills for that matter. This might drive Erin crazy :)

So, on Monday and Wednesdays I go to work 2 hours late, since I stay 2 hours later so I can go straight from Eagan to Edina for hockey games. Today, I was an IDIOT and miscalculated. I went to work an hour earlier than I meant to, and now here I sit--no work to do. All of my bosses have gone home, so there is nobody to assign me any other work. I'm not really sticking it to the man, though. What it boils down to, is that I do the crap paperwork that is annoying, time consuming, and people are too lazy to do. I simplify the jobs of others in this office.

In the copy room, this lady saw that I had 3 neat piles (consisting of well over 300 pieces of paper) going, one for invoices, one for packing lists, and one for arrival notices. It was very important that they stay in order in their correct piles. So, this lady walks up and starts sorting her invoices, ON TOP OF my piles, despite other table space. I politely picked up her pile, added to mine, and set her pile back where it was, thinking she would get the hint.

Yeah right.

I'm sure you can guess how this all ended. My papers sent all over the floor, some slid under the printers, mixed and matched, and got dirtied from the floor, etc. Her reaction? "Sorry, dear!", *walks away*.

SCREW YOU.

The best part? I spent 2 days last week doing NOTHING except for creating special billing sheets for her because she's such a sloppy worker that she keeps making errors, costing our company money. See what I mean by making other people's jobs easier? She's just lazy.

I like my job, overall. I work with some great people, and some not so great ones. It pays good!
