Speaking on extroverts: I have a co-worker who is like a particularly excitable Golden Retriever.

Posted by ralph wiggum (aka Wiggum17) Jul 20 '15, 18:06

She is a nice person, but her energy and desire to chat with everyone is *exhausting*

Also, she does not respect the headphones or the closed door. Just barges right in and starts chatting. Blargh.

(Not looking for advice, just complaining about the disruption to my delicate little interior life.)

You should ask me about my work sometime. You'll be shouting "Praise Jesus!" when I'm done. -- nm - Mop Jul 20, 19:49
We had one like that, but she also had a very loud voice. Eventually we trained her to have a "morning voice" early in the day. -- nm - zork Jul 20, 19:30
the person at my office who will take forever to look up when I'm standing in her door waiting before I talk so I don't interrupt her is the WORST -- (edited) - JenBro Jul 20, 18:24 2

  - unfortunately, she does our paychex ... otherwise ... heh -- nm - JenBro Jul 20, 18:39
"Also, she does not respect the headphones or the closed door. Just barges right in and starts chatting. Blargh." this would drive my wife insane - Seaweed Jul 20, 18:10 6
- I feel like the Ron Swanson to her Leslie Knope. Only with slightly less facial hair and a lot more impatience. nm - ralph wiggum Jul 20, 18:22 1

- yah, that kind of disrespect really bugs me, too. -- nm - b. Jul 20, 18:12 3

    - Also, her office is diagonal to mine and is in the direct line of hearing. So I get to hear every phone conversation - ralph wiggum Jul 20, 18:28 1
      - Literally the first words out of her mouth where, Loud Lady and Likes to Talk Guy were off today so I got some work done. - Seaweed Jul 20, 18:35
