Why can't people shut up?

Today, so far, has been nothing but meetings.

First meeting today, was led by an irritating sounding lady, who was trying to be "cute" by noting that she has "trained" to do things her way...

After she said that has "trained" some people to do things in her colors, I really got irritated with her, and wanted to actually kick her teeth down her throat.

I don't know if it's that she's trying to be cute on purpose or a flirt, but something about her manners really made me feel bristled up.

Now I'm on another conference call with new director in the company who's probably English and her accent is fun to listen to. Actually, she just explained that she's from South Africa. I wouldn't have guessed, since her accent isn't as pronounced as others I've met from South Africa.

Maybe this is someone who won't be a freakin' droll to work for. Last guy seemed to be "fun", but didn't want to engage with anyone...

Another thing I hate about these calls, are talking to people from India, as most of them do a hum talk... Kind of like Bill Cosby's bit when certain drinkers really get going them hum talk. (Try this link for it...)

I like the people from India in general, but some of these guys are really, really hard to understand because of the hum talking.  When they're speaking their native language, it sounds even worse.

Well, I took Friday off from work, so I only have to work today & tomorrow for this week to be over, and today's getting over pretty quickly right now.
