Coffee Break Bitch

May I take a moment to rant?

Good, thanks.

One of my bosses is a baby. He has to have everything done for him and what makes it worse is he's a procrastinator. He treats his wife, from what I can tell from phone conversations and when she's come in, like crap. He's always in a hurry to get off the phone with her even before he's picked up the receiver. "I'm working", he says. What he means is I'm on facebook, you tube looking up stupid videos to show my colleagues, going to the gym, eating, etc. I wonder how he is at home with her and their daughters. He puts things off and expects everyone else to run around in cramped time doing his bidding. He annoys me in these phases.

There is a woman in our office today, and not an old lady mind you, perhaps late 30's, who reeks!!! She has on the most hideous perfume and she has submerged herself in it!! I can't breathe. They left the conference room door open so when I took in some stuff, I closed the door. Procrastinator immediately went in said door and left it open thus emitting this hideous odor into the rest of the office. Would it look odd for me to suddenly get up and close it again?
I sort of understand old people not being able to smell nearly at all so they squirt way more than necessary their perfume/cologne (why a child, grandchild, super market clerk hasn't informed them of their stench is beyond me), but a younger woman??? And why hasn't her husband, children, co-workers complained to her that she not only wears too much perfume, but that the scent is in fact horrid!?!

That's it! I'm going to start informing people of their odor. It's for their own good and for man kinds good, for their noses at least. This stinky woman annoys me.

Another guy in our office who has no backbone and directs all of his calls to voicemail, washes his hands randomly. Some suggest he has OCD, but it's odder than that. After having used the restroom in which there is a perfectly working sink and paper towels he will head to the kitchen to wash his hands! Why? The soap is the same! Is it a difference of brown paper towels v kitchen paper towels? It's not just after the bathroom. He'll get up from his desk and go "rinse" his hands. I say rinse because he has no time to actually wash them as he's only running the faucet for a second. So I'm ruling out OCD and suggesting crazy. What he does sitting behind his desk that he feels he needs to "rinse" his hands suddenly, scares me. Psycho hand "rinser" annoys me.

I feel a little better now. My nose is still suffering however.
