A real madhouse - there's no way out

My coworkers are driving me crazy! I'd love to pack my things and just disappear. My colleague Mike feels the same way. Our company built a new building and we were moved into bigger rooms. Now we're stuck with our four oh-so-beloved coworkers.

Luckily I still have Mike by my side. But one thing is certain for us every day: our coworkers are annoying!

Let's start with Linda. Linda is sluggish and hardly ever moves from her chair. She's stuck there, or rather, she's glued to it. From that spot she watches absolutely everything and everyone! She gathers her information with her quick eyes, and we suspect she sits at home in the evening keeping a logbook. How often we left the room or talked to each other.

Because she's a "snitch". She constantly files her report. Namely exactly two office doors down. Our coworkers are so annoying that we allowed ourselves a prank. A few times a month she gets a rose on her windshield with a love letter. She thinks it's her ex. Let her just stay in that belief.

And what we absolutely can't stand: she scrapes out her yogurt cup as if there were no tomorrow! At some point she's surely going to break through the bottom of the lid.

Moving on to Mr. Carter. He's unpredictability in person, and then there's Mr. Cooper on top of that!

Throw Mr. Carter and Mr. Cooper in the same sack and you're guaranteed to hit the right one!

Mr. Carter has a thyroid problem, and when he hasn't taken his pills, he's unbearable. When he walks through the door in the morning with a red face, we duck for cover. We can truly say out loud: "Our coworkers are annoying!"

The worst of all is Drill Sergeant Cooper. A year ago, upper management decided we needed a department head. In he walked, all 6'6" of him. Skinny, a chain smoker, and a ruthless show-off! He constantly brags about how he always eats at expensive restaurants. He thinks he knows everything about life and plays God.

Mike and I used to be alone together in a room. Inwardly, we've already quit. It's just that the company pays so well that it's not that easy to actually hand in our notice. We can't take it forever, though. So there's only one piece of advice: "just sit tight and wait it out!"
