The woman 2 cubicles away has several-times-daily telephone conversations with her on-the-road husband, each lasting up to 2 hours. (I am not exaggerating.) She has them in her “outside voice,” and I have gone the entire route from listening to music as loud as I can bear it with earbuds to massive over-the-ear headphones trying to block her out, to no avail. It might be okay if she talked about anything interesting, to make my inadvertent eavesdropping worthwhile, but her topics have ranged from explaining how to knit (I swear to God!) to lessons on Spanish grammar rules to therapy sessions on anger management (I need that thanks to her!) to childlike sing song-y recitations of their daughter’s latest toilet training efforts. I am not the only one who has a problem with this, everyone in this area of the office can hear her and complains to each other about it, but my supervisor is apparently and conveniently deaf to all of this. AAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I love my job, even if I do have to work in a cubicle, except for one thing…or rather, one person.
