Ooooh lordy, troubled so hard

My 'new' office neighbour,BoyIdiot, is back from a week off ...

.. and in the space of eight hours he's almost managed (only almost) to drive me around the bleedin' bend

How is it possible ? Me being such a patient young chappy an' all ?

It's been a while since i'd gotten used to BoyIdiot crying out 'Rodriguez !' at inpromptu moments (in a Tourrette's syndrome stylie, to boot) ...

... as too to his thigh slapping routine ...

... his penchant for salad sandwhich arranging ? That's old news - i'm perfectly aware that some people do need to have ritualistic things going on to, y'know, set their day

But...

Today, i've discovered that he ...

Talks to himself whilst he works

Well, o.k, not 'talk' as such, more sort of ... mumbling loudly and incoherently under his breath ... all day long ... i wonder if he does it from the moment he wakes 'till the moment he lays his head down on lavender scented pillows ?

Whilst i've not yet figured out what this mantra of blood oaths is , it's a bit disconcerting, all the same ... especially if you're doing a feedback session with a trainee

This only stops, naturally enough, when BI has to go out and sate his gargantuan appetite

And that's not all

Nahhhhh !

There's better

Unless you've turned off the sound effects on the your computer to save battery power, when you hit the return key or the space bar on the keyboard it let's out a dull, off-key, 'ding' sound

BI seems to love making tunes in one note

You have to imagine, here, the phrase 'One for the old man, all right !'

In BI space bar and return key 'music' this equals to : ring ding a ding-ding .. ding ding !!!

To which you have to add 'Ahhhhhhhhhhhh'

and 'Rodrigueeeeeeeeez !!!!!!!!!'

Tomorrow i'm going to have to start early - i really need to turn off BI's sound card
