When I'm sitting at my desk with the Tupperware FULL of spaghetti, the fork IN my mouth and someone walks over with work for me to do.  Some say, "sorry, can you call me when you're off lunch?" This is nod or smile at and agree to.  If that happens, I will even finish up early to help out.  But my favorites are those that stand there and wait for me to notice them or ask me flat out to do this, "while you're wating?"  "No.  I don't get paid for my lunch hour, I come in at least half an hour early a day, you can catch me later."  "But I need it now."  "Sucks to be you, huh?" Yes, I said that to a manager.



If I'm on the phone, I ignore the person.  My fiance does that and I ignore him, too.  I've learned to ignore most things around here.  About the broken office machine stuff, I had one male (not a real man in the classic sense of the word) came to me, poked his head in my cubicle and quickly state, "small copier's broken," then ran away.  I thought he broke it.  OK, things happen.  IT NEEDED TONER!  TONER IS KEPT IN THE CABINET DIRECTLY UNDER THE COPIER LABELED "TONER"!  That feels better.
