As long as I am complaining about loudness in the office-- people freaking SHOUT down the hallway. Like they are in their office down the hall TALKING TO ME! WTF. Call me on the telephone or get up and talk to me. I am OK with my boss doing this a) because she is my boss and b) because her office is right next door. But the accountant down the hall should JUST STOP IT.
Julia and Chris were just screaming at each other (about the BAND they are going to start), through me, each one into one of my ears. They've now been sent on a walk around the block. I don't suppose you can send your cow-orkers for a walk around the block?
And having worked both Help Desk and Field Tech now, I honestly feel like Help Desk is a harder job.
I really don't want to work help desk. And the lady called back to say that maybe they could swing $15/hour, but if I have to have a long commute and talk on the phone in 3 languages all day (only one of which I am fluent in, one I used to be fluent in, and one in which I could probably order beer and tacos), I don't think it'll be worth it.
This is kinda' short notice, but:
Free movie tickets in San Fran.
There will be a screening of the movie “The War Tapes” in San Francisco at the Castro Theatre on June 26th at 7:30 pm. “The War Tapes,” winner of the prize for best documentary at the Tribeca Film Festival, offers a soldier’s-eye view of the Iraq war. The film is based on footage recorded by three members of the New Hampshire Army National Guard who were deployed to Iraq in early 2004.

“The War Tapes”
HIGHLY recommend this movie -- it's really really really well done.
In re office noise - the thing that really bothers me in my office is the people who insist on using speaker phones for everything. Dialing, picking up voicemail, all their phone calls ... drives me up the wall. Aside from the distraction, all these calls are done at top volume ... and they're all things I don't want to hear about.

They're looking for someone tri-lingual as well? For $12 an hour. Their logic is not the same as our earth logic.
ION, why does July 4th have to be all silly and land on a Tuesday this year. I'm looking at the department vacation Calendar and only a handful of us are actually going to be here on the 3rd. Unfortunately, one of the other Help Desk guys already requested it off, otherwise I'd be joining them. Especially since a friend of mine is throwing a party on Sunday.
Sophia, if you have an intercom function on your phone, I suggest responding to their yells via intercom to their office.
Ha ha -- I just realized I have a 7/10 deadline, and not only is there the holiday on Tuesday, I'm out of the office Friday and Monday. Ha Ha Ha FUCK.
