News From The Cube Next Door

Friday, 18 August.

Woman in next cube over is on a lengthy personal phone call.

(This may be due to the fact that she left her Blackberry -- given her by the company, that her clients may call or email her at any time, and she can respond immediately -- at home. Because she uses it as an alarm clock, which means she puts it under her pillow, which means that it's not in her purse, which means that she doesn't think of it when she leaves in the morning.)

Woman in next cube tells her friend on the phone -- and thus tells the entire office -- that all of her log-ons and passwords -- work, banking, shopping -- are exactly the same, as she can barely remember the one set of log-ons and passwords. Why, she'd be lost if she had different ones for different sites.

I consider pointing out to her that announcing such information to the entire office is, perhaps, not wise.

I decide not to.
