    Nothing but keyboard clicks and a loudly ticking clock. This office is so depressing.

      better than that monster who was playing music off a Bluetooth speaker the other week. Hopefully it means HR have taken them up to the 25th floor and pulled a Russia on them.

        Or the people in my office that don’t know the concept of an ‘indoor voice’

          Maybe you need to adopt the role of angry office teacher

          "UM, YEAR 9 44, MY GRADE 5’S ACT BETTER THAN YOU. NOW USE YOUR INDOOR VOICES OR YOU WILL ALL BE STAYING INSIDE AT LUNCH!

          Sidenotes:

          1. It’s always the bloody year 9s
          2. 44 wasn’t a random number, apparently 44 is the median age of an APS worker. They were the most office based field I could find stats on

            I’m 45 and work in Victorian Public Service. I have never felt more average :)

      I’d like that compared to everyone wearing headphones and being in random teams meetings all day. Can’t concentrate. Have to wear headphones and play music louder than I’d like.

      Each to their own I guess, I much prefer a quiet office.

      We have a visitor here once every week or so who is one of those people that seems to think silence is a bad thing to be avoided, so it’s -endless- chatter, it’s a nightmare when I’m trying to concentrate.

      The odd bit of conversation is fine, but he seems to be deeply offended by silence and it drives us nuts!

        Too much babble is bloody annoying, but listening to the day bleed away is it’s own awful
