Okay, it’s not so much that she hums, it’s that she hums a beat behind the song. And with feeling. It makes me want to kick the partition between our cubicles. (I have to confess, once I did. She didn’t notice.) I have taken to muttering to myself, to whimpering quietly, to clearing my throat. Everything short of, well, you know, saying something to her. I’m afraid I’ll explode soon. But, good news, it may not be necessary. We’re moving to different offices either today or tomorrow, and because I’ll be hired on, I will sit seperately from the other temps. Let’s just hope it’s far enough away that I can’t hear her.

I mean, this got me to thinking on people you just can’t stand, especially those that never did anything to you, like this monstrosity next to me. I mean, it must be chemical, because I’m really, really just very hostile (inside my head) to her. I don’t talk much here because I’m afraid if I say something, it will invite comment from her, and the sound of her voice makes me even more hostile. And the things she says are so dumb. Not to mention, of course, the throat-clearing and off-beat humming. It’s nauseating. But I’m sure I’ve met people like her before, and tolerated or even enjoyed their company. I really can’t figure out what it is about this woman. Hmmm. Maybe I’m just evil. (She keeps stuffed animals on her dashboard!!!)

So, now that I’ve got that out of my system…

I am in pain. I think it’s, embarrassingly enough, a groin injury. I suppose from riding my bike yesterday, since it didn’t hurt after running on Monday. Yeesh. This sucks.

Oh, happy news! My cousin Laura is pregnant! Sheesh, two cousins in one year! Yay! And this one will live closer, so I can visit. Yay!
