Cubicle Etiquette

Hey, ladies! Feel free to have your birthday-related laugh-a-thon RIGHT NEXT TO THE INTERN'S CUBICLE (i.e. mine) for about 15-20 minutes while I'm trying to muck around with SQLServer tables. Talking VERY LOUDLY helps, too, because I couldn't hear what you were saying over the music in my headphones. Oh, and it also helps to not even notice me sitting right there (especially when I'm flipping you off and/or rolling my eyes at your sheer WTFness).

This goes double for the folks I walk by that look @ me like I farted.

You're an intern?

I was about to say, Daver, what gives?

Intern Diva just doesn't sound the same.

Technically, I'm a co-op, which is a PAID intern - I'm getting school credit (& job experience) while going for my long-awaited BS in CS (which I BETTER get by this December).

But enough about me - let's talk about what's happening to me!

CS = Comic Science, I hope.

Cubicle Etiquette lesson 31a: when farting within smellshot of your nearest cubicle neighbor, please for God's sake burn a fucking candle or something.

Cubicle Etiquette lesson 31b: once you've cut the fart, please do not make excuses, as it will only make it easier for me to pinpoint the exact combination of flavor-remains in the molecules of excrement you have just expelled into the air that I breath.

What I wouldn't do for partitions. A real cubicle!

daver just ask them in a polite way if they could either keep it down or use another part of the office.

I was thinking of doing the sensible thing (i.e. "YO KEEP IT DOWN PLZ"), but I wasn't in the mood to deal w/ either a) some sort of taken-aback surprise / dismay at my request or b) having to introduce myself & deal w/ chit-chat or c) dealing w/ people @ all. Really, I wanted to stew in my own juices a bit.

"Maybe they did and maybe they didn't." is not a valid rebuttal of any argument.
