There's a woman at work today who is an EXTREME close talker. I'd backed half way down an office corridor before I realised that she was just going to keep stepping in the more I stepped away.

I didn't realise people still did that!? Did Seinfeld teach them NOTHING??

There should really be a better level of quality control for the Community Switchboard volunteers in this building. The guy who hires them must have a freak fetish, because every single one of them has some kind of social disorder, including:

- the guy in the wheelchair who smells so bad that whatever end of the building he's in gets completely emptied out;

- the woman with the cankles and thinning hair who brings her ugly daughter with her every time she comes in, and the ugly daughter just ends up sitting on the floor, doing nothing;

- the woman who blinks at twice the rate of normal people who is continually bringing in home made baked goods that no one is game to touch;

- the creepy man with the limp who is borderline obsessed with one of the account managers. He always talks to her, and kind of follows her around when she goes to the kitchen for a coffee or outside for a cigarette - it's not quite enough to call stalking, just enough to creep everyone out;

- and now the extreme close talker who never stops talking, and thus never stops BEING REALLY CLOSE.

I'm leaving my microphone on (with the fader down) for the rest of my shift, so the 'ON AIR' light will flash outside the studio and no one will come in. Freaks.
