1. What is the best thing about your workplace?
I like that it's quiet. Although that does lead to boredom. And I don't have to see or talk to many people. And I can surf the net all day and mostly nobody notices as long as I get my work done. I also have a nice view of the Mississippi River and the lovely state of Arkansas. I happen to have my camera today, so I took this picture from my desk. Don't judge the decor. I'm too lazy to decorate this place.
2. What do you hate about your workplace?
That's a tough one. I don't really hate anything... except see #3. I guess I do hate when I don't have enough work to do, and then I have to worry about billable hours, blah blah blah. But given the alternative (working my rear off seventy hours a week in a giant firm) I'll take what I've got.
3. What small irritance at your workplace really annoys you?
It's not a small irritance to me, but probably it is to most normal people. My office manager will not stop with the gum popping. I have to turn the sound on my computer all the way up so my music will drown out the sound-- and I can still hear it! Hate!
4. Describe the actions/quirks of the weirdest person you work with (can be a co-worker, employer, or a vendor if you are self-employed)
Other than #3? Tough one. I have three bosses. Boss #1 works ALL the time, but is the nicest. Boss #2 comes in just in time to go lunch, and he's the funniest. Boss #3 is unpredictable and is the bossiest. He never gives specific instructions but then gets mad if I don't things exactly how he wants them done. He monopolizes all non-work-conversations (at lunches or birthday parties or whatever), he rarely, if ever, asks about me or anyone else in the office, and is either in a GREAT mood or an asshat mood. But I dunno if that qualifies as weird.
5. What is one thing that you would change at your workplace to make life a helluva lot better?
Assuming that "not having to work at all" is not an acceptable answer... Ooh, direct deposit! That would be great.
Whom should I tag? I'm gonna tag Andria at Boy Crazy, b/c moms work too, and plus, I wanna read her description of her weirdest co-worker.

I'm amazed you haven't snapped the neck of gum-popper yet!
Thanks for playing ~ Morgen & Daphne
YOu are going to have to give me a little time with that one to figure out how I want to tackle it.
Wow, that IS a great view you have there!
I, too, would like to get paid to stay home and not work :) I have a guy at my office who clips his nails at his desk. Ugh!
Nice view.
There is a special circle of hell for gum poppers
Just so ya know
