May they be shot and killed? Is it legal? Does anyone know? Can anyone make it so?
I swear the woman three cubicles down must need a new keyboard every two weeks. It sounds like
she's hammering a house together, not composing an email or something.

Do you not remember how loud typewriters were?? I always felt I had to stop typing when others nearby were talking on the phone. 'Cause, you know...I was
nice like that.

I like being quiet in my office and pretending I'm an Eskimo in a cave and there's walruses alllll around and I have to kill them all to survive but
first I have to finish my e-mail to the Dominican Republic Embassador Babe 'Latinarita Sopressetta to let her know I'm about to complete my mission and
soon we can runaway and play Hide the Tamale on the beaches of Boca Chica.
ssts...stupid walruses. |

One summer, I filled in for a legal secretary, and the other legal secretary wore a bigass fucking charm bracelet that jingled every time she moved. I wanted
to throw it out the winder.

My father works from home upstairs in my brother's old room (he hasn't lived at home for several years now), and you can hear him from downstairs. The
keyboard pretty much thumps.

Maybe if you were busy working yourself you would be making your own keyboard noises or be too busy to notice yourself.

I listen to my mp3 player in order to drown out noise around me.

I suspect loud typers are people who learned to type on a typewriter. You really had to punch the keys to get those to work.

Get Headphones and listen to the radio or something, you won't hear anything, be careful not to sing along with the music.

It's all a cover...she's purposely typing loud to make it look like she's busy. Report it to the boss.

(he hasn't lived at home for several years now)Cg, your dad hasn't lived there in years ... but works from home??? My youngest son says I type loud at home. I listen to my MP3 player at work too, I have no idea what the others do. |
