So, last week at XYZ Company we had a contractor start working. Where my cubical is I have nobody behind me and the third floor is refreshingly quiet. Well, they decided to put the contractor right behind me.
Well, a woman who has worked for XYZ Company forever is in charge of the contractors, well she decided to have a meeting at his desk. My God they were distracting the hell out of me. And the meeting went on forever. So I got up and left my desk for a while and on my way to the breakroom there was an open meeting room. I go back to my deks and then the meeting finally ended and they left the area. So my co-worker and I exchanged sighs and a few words. Well, he comes back and introduces himself and said that he was sorry for being too loud and if it happens again we should let him know. So right away I feel like the world's biggest jackass. I mean, here is this poor guy trying to make a living. He comes into XYZ Company (which is a strange company as it is) and then he has to deal with people who have territorial issues(me). Instead of making him feel welcomed we made him feel uncomfortable. Needless to say, I felt terrible. Despite what people may think, I do have a heart.
Well, today, he comes in with leftoever Halloween candy. He put in in a bowl on his desk for everyone. That made me feel even worse! And now, I can't eat it because I feel so damn guilty about being a jackass to him. If anything, I should have been happy that some more men are working here. It is a total estrogen fest here at XYZ Company.
Argh.

I think is only going to get worse! I'm sorry, but its going to get worse because in IT, while it is quiet, people are know for huge drive by's. They stop and they can chat as if we have nothing else to do. LOL!!!!!!
Well, Mindy has told the people in charge that they need to keep it down.
That guy is really nice, I still feel bad about what happened. But he doesnt seem to hold a grudge.
Drive by's? LOL.
