I know about the whole "don't blog about work" thing, but I have to this once. Although I can't guarantee it won't happen again. There is this person in my general department that gets on my very last nerve almost constantly. I'm going to refer to this person as 'N'.

N is one of those "one upper" type people, everything that someone says, N has done or experienced or knows something that is more important, more impressive and more exciting than anyone else. N is also a name dropper, and makes a constant point of dropping little comments letting you know that they are in the know about things that you couldn't possibly be involved in. N also rolls its eyes when asked a question that they deem stupid. We have several new people in the department and it takes a while to get acclimated to things in a new job. So, during this time they will ask questions that, to people who have been here for several years, might seem obvious. Most people will answer the question and ask if the questioner needs any assistance ... N will roll its eyes at them and answer in a very exasperated tone and usually say something to the effect of "you really should have known that already." Fortunately for me, I don't have to work very close with N on too regular of a basis, else N might end up at the bottom of Eagle Mountain Lake.

Anyhoo ... that is my rant for today. I will leave you with some random thoughts ...

Wouldn't it be nice if drivers would pay attention to their surroundings while driving?

Breakfast burritos are the best invention I can think of. Eggs, cheese & bacon WRAPPED IN A TORTILLA. Perfection.

The price of gas is ridiculous. I know we all know that, but I just wanted to say it.

I love wearing blue jeans and tennis shoes to work.
