[QUOTE="Djeta Thernadier, post: 945089, member: 12043"] Like many good ENWorld message board readers/posters, I spend a good 90% of my time at work, well, reading and posting. However, I face an obstacle in the path of my slacking, that quite frankly, screws up the other 10% of my work day as well... the parts where I'm actually doing actual "work". I, dear friends, have met and can safely say I sit across from someone worse than any vile villian in any game you have have ever encountered. For I sit across from the loudest, most obnoxious woman on the face of this earth. Lets just call her The Loud One (TLO). TLO spends her entire work day, from the very moment she comes in at 8 AM to the moment she leaves at 4:30 PM, yapping loudly on the phone, in sometimes very offensive ebonics. She talks about her private love life, her family , celebrity gossip etc. I also recently discovered she is calling people in another state (TN ...we are in MA). I have complained repeatedly about her to our direct boss, who told me she "talked to TLO and TLO promised to tone it down, and that's the best she can do". Often, the only way I'm able to hear myself think/do my job I am forced to actually leave my desk and go to another computer I have access to in another part of the building... I have resigned myself to the fact that I will probably never be able to shut her up since the management doesn't seem to care, and as such need to find ways to keep myself amused by her annoying-ness so I don't snap. For instance, since she almost always talks like she is a 17 year old hip hop star (she's actually a 30 year old married woman w/ children) my friends and I have come up with the TLO Hip Hop Saying of the Day etc... So today, to keep myself sane, I turn to you... What would you have your PCs do to her, to shut her up, if this was all a game and you'd get some serious XP for doing so... Please amuse me before my head explodes... because I have to hear that some r&b singer named Tyrese has an attractive behind (in not so classy terms) for one more second my head WILL explode... Thanks... ~Sheri :( [/QUOTE]
