Housefly

Mr K who has transferred to my dept and is sitting 2 cubicles from me has so much things to talk....

An example:

Today, i was so irritated that i "told" him off. Again so many times already for the past 2 months, he was talking non-stop with my colleague who is sitting next to me.

I just had a meeting in the morning and i want to rush out the minutes before i go off so that i dont forget the important points. While i am trying to summarise and remember what was being said and include them into the minutes, he was beside my cubicle talking and talking.

I thought maybe i will give him 15 mins to finish what he wants to say. Otherwise i would seem selfish. But after 15 mins, he is still very "into" his topic. So i called my colleague on her phone thinking that i can break off the conversation. Finally he walked off to the loo.

After probably half an hour later, he comes back to talk to my colleague again!! Wah lau, i really cannot concentrate and i cannot finish my minutes.

So i started to raise my voice and say "heh you all very noisy leh, i am trying to write minutes. Can you all talk another day? I cant work!"

That stupid goodoo still dont catch my hint. Still talked for abt 5 mins until my other colleague who was with him said that i complained abt the noise so they better stop. Then he became embarressed and got back to his seat.

Actually he is not noisy as in like talking loudly. But he is talking in small, whispering, constant sound and its very irritating. Like a housefly flying near your ears and you cant concentrate on doing your things. I dont know if you have encountered before.

I suspect he is the kind of person that you have to tell him straight in the face. Otherwise, he wont get what you mean.
