People are strange. I’ve just spent the last 5 minutes traumatized by the boy behind me eating his lunch. It was the loudest thing I’ve ever heard – mouth open, squelchy noises aplenty. The 40 something mildly famous musician that sits to my left didn’t bat an eyelid to this monstrous noise, and yet when someone’s computer beeps, or a mobile phone goes off, he tuts and looks appalled. And there’s a woman in the corner quietly talking to herself, CONSTANTLY. Then there’s the lady who’s into amateur dramatics, who started talking about vibrators yesterday, embarrassing the Christian lady who sits next to her.
We’re all packed together like battery hens here, and there’s no getting away from anyone.
Also in the office today we have:
An old lady in a wig
My boss surrounded by photos of her guinea pigs
A lady in a fluorescent pink cardigan
A collection of small plastic ducks, belonging to the girl who sits opposite me

Sounds like an interesting place to work!
This looks like the beginnings of an episode of "The Office"...
