Are you making noises when you do so? Repetative ones? Loudly?
That may be my problem -- my cranky insistence on silence.
I wonder if I can remember how to snort. Or bray, even.
Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!? Oh right, that would be me. Back to work.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm getting up to watch a hot air balloon launch in the morning, and tomorrow night is the big fireworks show that I can see from my house. Yep, on the 2nd. Probably because righteous people will be going to bed at a normal hour so they can go to work on Tuesday.
The parade is on Monday. I shall sit comfortably in the shade in my front yard, one block off the parade route, and sip a cool beverage as I smile at the folks who are schlepping grumpy children, chairs, coolers, etc. over to the parade and then back again, when people are hot and children are grumpier. Maybe I'll stick caltrops in the driveway.

Lip smacking might work.

Dude, now I'm snorting at my desk, and it's all your fault!

It would be such a pale impersonation of her own smacking, though. I'd need a noise I could truly make my own.

Check and see if your co-workers are IMing about you ... me, I just slid down in my chair but she can still see me. Oh, I look a little insane.

Chewing ice! Or hard candy!
I wince everytime my officemate starts chewing on a mint. It sounds like teeth breaking.
A nasal wheeze?

Growling. Or singing very quietly.

That would rock. I could send an e-mail to the rest of the team to tell them to let my chomping slide for just one week, while I got some small shred of revenge. Plus, I like ice.

She does that too. I mean, she has an impressive ouevre of things that make it impossible for me to pay attention to anything for more than a minute or two at a time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh no! I think I was that person yesterday. I got a big fast-food soda, and spent the whole afternoon rattling ice in the plastic cup before chewing on it.
Oops.
