I share my office with three cats, and they are barely civil at all. Lazy, complaining, leave food all over the shared kitchen, and man, thoroughly inappropriate displays of affection.
See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

The tobacco spitting is the grossest thing ever. I'm surprised it's even allowed in offices.

Yuck, msbelle! That's no way to behave in a society.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Ewwwww.

Trucking yard for a mining company. Not my ideal match. Possibly why I am starting to feel so desperate for contact with other humans of my choosing.

Compassionately intolerant
I can't even with the spitting. How is that acceptable under ANY circumstances...much less a professional one.
I know a young man who carries around an empty water bottle for spitting.
Can't. Even.
My office mate insists on talking to me in the bathroom, thinks the fact that I have a standing desk means that he can bogart my office chair, demands hug breaks pretty much every day during business hours and, oh yeah, there's the shedding.
Fortunately, on a day like today, Cagney's greatest ambition is to sit in my therapy chair and gaze at me across the room...between important nap assignments. His expression kind of says, "When are you EVER going to do something interesting?"
He did get to romp in the snow while I was shoveling earlier, so perhaps he's just in a stupor.
Over all, it's been a pretty great day around here.
I'm supposed to have a client in 4 minutes, at which point, the fuzzball will need to vacate, much to his chagrin. Bonus for me though, pre-warmed work chair!

Mine follow me to the bathroom and beg for part of my lunch. And every day between 5 and 5:30 (seriously, like they look at the clock and KNOW), one of them coughs up a hairball.
But they're cute, so it's all good.

I get annoyed when people use the garbage bin at my desk for their own crap when they're walking past. I'd probably fling the garbage bin at someone's head if they tried to spit in it.
I have meditated. I'm probably not going to light anyone on fire at the moment.
I need to ping a guy to see if he has any info about 2015 headcount and let him know I'm still interested.

You eat lunch in the bathroom?
