Like you couldn't guess

Things that are bothering me today:

• People at work who use radio channel one – meant for brief general announcements and handshakes – for long, involved conversations, even when radio channel two is specifically intended for that sort of thing.
• People at work who pronounce "bathroom" as "baffroom", frequently locate each other by calling out "Where you at?", and laboriously puzzle over the building-wide allocation of paper towels and liquid hand soap all on (What else?) radio channel one.
• People at work who cannot for the life of them understand that Netscape is not the same thing as RealPlayer.
• People at work who cannot for the life of them reboot their Windows systems once before calling me to ask if something is wrong.
• People at work who cannot work a laptop, despite having two hands and a college degree.
• People at work. Just in general.
• People at work who haven't yet figured out that if they turn something on in the morning, such as a projector, magical woodland sprites are not going to slip in at the end of the day and turn it off for them.
• People at work who leave voicemails that amount exclusively to "Hey, the is so-and-so. Give me a call, OK? Bye." Uh, no. Not without an explanation I won't. Especially considering that we're not going to both be at work at the same time for about 72 hours. 'k, thanks, bye.
