Oops, I fucked up at work by Chillum 09/17/2015, 3:54pm PDT
My office has paper thin walls, and I'm too loud and too stupid for that kind of a work environment. Did some minor shit talking about my next office neighbor ("She's going to make everyone's life miserable until they give her the secretary she's asking for"), hung up the phone, within 5 minutes was listening to her phone conversation with perfect clarity through my closed door.

Cringed my way out of the office, will continue cringing indefinitely.

As the IT guy, I have a certain amount of power to fix this with an office related gesture. But already got her a new laptop with 3 monitor setup this summer. New iPad after she lost her last one, walked her through Google drive setup.....I've shot my load here, I have nothing left to give....maybe her phone is up for a new contract?

Anyway, dear diary, I was not cut out for this shit. I yearn to return to a windowless server room where I can live out my fantasy life, free from Marvin's yelling and Erik's whining.
