Out of the Office

When you are out of the office, I am happy for you to tell me. It is so helpful.

However, not changing your email responder and/or voice mail message back when you come back makes me bonkers! In a bad way! As if you are so busy that six days after your supposed return to the office, you haven't noticed that your auto-responder is still going strong. It makes you seem crazy/disorganized to the max.

Other "gym" etiquette

So, I go to this insane yoga, but other people go to the gym, where the following situations may occur, much to my chagrin, in the locker room:

Women who text naked
Women who talk on the phone naked
Women who text and/or talk on the phone topless
Women who take pictures with their friends

I mean, I want to free my hips. But this is too free.

Also, in re: yesterday's post: yes, I can see your thong through those leggings. Go away from me.

Elevator Etiquette

So, when you are standing in front of the elevator, and you have pressed the button, I generally take that as a sign that you are going to get on the elevator. And take it somewhere.

But if your friend gets off the elevator, and you want to chat for a sec before you go eat your sandwich in your office, here is what NOT to do:

• don't stand in the door, talking
• don't block entrance to the elevator
• don't talk so slow that I think you are on Xanax
• don't somehow begin to resemble a Brontosaurus

So, seriously folks, be kind and scoot out of the way. I have places to go. And I don't care if you choose to chat with your friend. I do care when you decide to inconvenience all other people in order to accomplish your talk.

Peace!

Coffee Shop Etiquette

Now, this post is only necessary because of my tiny apartment which I find uninspiring, and my spotty wireless, which is the worst.

But serisously, we've all gone to the coffee shop to work. And in this day and age, we bring headphone, plug in and try to zone in on our work.

This is difficult when the person next to you is yelling her computer passwords to her friend on her cell phone. I can hear her through the new Britney Spears album, which is actually the definition of being too loud.

So, if you go to the coffee shop, take your calls outside, or, just speak more softly.
