The chronic nail clipper

Even though it happens almost every day, I'm always surprised to hear that sound. Im always taken back because first of all, I think its disgusting and rude, and second, I don't think it should be done in the office, yet I hear it all the time. What am I talking about?

NAIL CLIPPING!

I absolutely HATE to hear someone clipping their nails in the office. One of my coworkers clips his nails nearly every day! I always think to myself, "How many nails does this man have? Is he clipping his toenails too?"

What's so difficult about going to the bathroom? I can't see the guy because he sits behind me, but I bet my last dollar that he isnt even clipping them over the trash can either! YUCK. I think what creeps me out so much is the visual. I simply think that is something that should happen at HOME, not at WORK around people. Ewwwww

Oh, before I forget-- Last week while I was downstairs in the little shoppette, guess what I discovered the lady at the register doing? CLIPPING HER NAILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They sell fresh sandwiches and stuff in that shoppette. I was appalled and I told the manager that that was nasty. He just shrugged.

Im grossing myself out, so Im going to end this post.

Office Daycare

First off, let me just say that I love the kids. Now that that is settled, I would like to know when the office transformed into a daycare? I’m not talking about the cute little babies or toddlers coming for a visit. I love those visits besides that’s a guaranteed 20 minutes of bs-ing around the office. What I am talking about are the children that come every day after school. I remember visiting my mother at work but it didn’t happen too often and I never stayed. It just so happened my school chose her company as the company to visit on career day.

I understand that some parents may not be able to afford after school programs for their children but I don’t think an office is a suitable alternative. If you are going to be in an office, you should be working and being paid for it, if I have to work so does everyone else.
Some companies are more relaxed and might have a more kid friendly environment than others but the overall idea of children in the workplace doesn’t work. It’s an unwritten rule in most companies. Although work is like high school and coworkers act like children at times, it is no place for actual children.
