Irksome afternoon

Irksome afternoon. Annoys me the most when people can't distinguish personal versus work-related transactions. (Read: Don't disturb my peace by dialing my number when you need SOMEONE BESIDE ME or SOMEONE INSIDE THE ROOM. Call their own numbers instead, because my personal phone isn't sharing the purpose for your work-related transactions to others!)

:D
