Does anyone else get really tired of having to say that to every person you see when you first get to work in the morning? Or am I just an a-hole? I'm usually in a bad mood when I first get to work, so I don't really like to talk to people for the first 1/2 hour. But the people I work with are always waiting for me. They are always wanting to talk first thing in the morning. I really hate it when someone comes to my cubicle and just stands there waiting for me to say something. This happens every morning, most of the time it's before I even log on. Is anyone else NOT a morning person like me? I don't want to be rude, but I wish there was a nice way to let everyone know that I don't want to talk to anyone RIGHT when I get to work. Just give me my 1/2 hour and then I'm like a social butterfly, but PLEASE....give me my 1/2 hour! Am I being neurotic?
no ur just a A-hole j/k Yea I say that alot when I get to the office too, but i say it mostly because I dont know what else to say to the person.
I hate mornings and I never say "Good morning" first as a sign of contempt for the AM hours. However, I will respond (in a usually futile attempt to be polite) in kind if someone says "Good morning" to me. Mornings suck.
i actually like the "good morning". what bugs me is the "how are you doing?" as i even made a thread about it before.
"Oh, BE NICE" Seriously, though, buy a clock that has a huge marker on it when you don't want people to talk to you. Don't be rude, man. Next time they come to your cubicle and just stand there like idiots, look up with your eyes, without moving your head, raise your eyebrows... just wait for them. If they don't talk, so be it. Keep working away (or reading the CF.net forum). I don't get tired of saying "good morning". What's more important is that you don't know if that person to whom you didn't say good morning today may save your *ss later or be a friend when you need a hand. Dude, seriously, man... I got nothing against you being quiet, but when you're deliberately not wanting to talk to people or are admitting that you are in a bad mood EVERY friggin' mornin', you need help, yo. Seriously. Take this from someone who is a freakin' jokin' ass clown who gets pissed every time someone talks bad about his Rockets, Astros, Texans, Dynamo, Comets, Aeros, Cougars, Owls, or águilas del América. Seek help, yo.
Mornings are absolute death I tells ya. I drag myself out of bed and then I slump around for the next half hour looking like I stayed up all night drinking. If someone addresses me I don't respond, if they ask me a question I mumble incoherently, if they ask me another question I become aggravated and tell them to **** off. After I've had some sort of caffeine I'm usually just starting to function as a human being. But I don't understand how some people can just get up and be cheerful and sing songs and talk in loud voices.
uh...there is this person in my office. A 30 second convo will turn into a freaking 15 minute ordeal... i don't care about your life, or your kids, or your new comforter
I don't know why, but when reading imadrummer's post, I get the impression everyone's there just to tell him good morning. Like he walks in everyday to something like this:
I'm at work by 4:15am every morning. There are more jokes and insults flying amongst the 4 of us. Not sure i remember 1 good morning in the past 6 months.
You're just an a-hole... I work in a small office, so not a whole lot...I'm not a morning person, but its not like I get up at 4 am or anything....
Yup you're an A-Hole. I liked it better when you were a happy, overweight, non-home owning, weekend-gig drum playing, sloppy drunk.
Sounds like the problem is not so much the "good morning", but the cubicle...as opposed to an office with a door that one can just close.
