Morons that you work with...

We just moved into a new office designed by the German owners with all the coziness of a hospital waiting room.

No more high cube walls (I stare at the back of the head geek's monitor) no quiet or privacy without leaving the room. To the right of me is the effeminiate head of customer support (complete with rainbow stickers on his briefcase), right behind me is an ugly woman with a face like a mastiff who does customer installs over the phone.

At her quietest she is two decibels higher than necessary requiring headphones to work when she is on a call (she said the word "database" 600 times in an hour the other day). She also eats at her desk and I can hear her nasty lips smacking as she stares at the back of my head.

In exchange for her the phlegmy Asian man with the deviated septum is now a few desks away from me after 5 years next to me hacking snot all day.

The idea is easy teamwork as we no longer need a conference room to work together. I spend the day listening to sports radio through my Blackberry (we were told no streaming music so save bandwidth).

The only upside is a pair of Luvia coffee/expresso/cappuchino makers (similar to Keurig).

Sounds like something right out of Office Space, Bunker! In my situation, this one older guy (probably about 60) really doesn't need this job, since his wife's a doctor pretty much talks all day, and LOUDLY! lol His blatant buttkissing is a joke to everyone else there. He often calls our mutual boss "The nicest guy I know." My boss is a nice guy, pretty laid back and I get along with him well. But the old guy doesn't like me at all!

Maybe it's because I've called him "The biggest asskisser I know?"

Since I work at home the only Douchbag I have to deal with on a regular basis is myself.

That guy is a real piece of work.

Same boat for me.
