Nails

Now I'm cool with women who want to wear the nails all fancy-like. Personally I don't understand how one types or writes or anything with long nails, but women seem to get things done in-spite of this. (Also have sympathy for guys who's girl have daggers for nails as that can be all kinda of unpleasant!).

BUT there is a limit on when/e these things should be taken care of!

Pet peeve: people who apply or remove polish at their desks. Women who cannot have a five minute conversation without filing. And lastly those who clip their nails at work (hey if it's broken fix it but all out clip-fest is not acceptable), keep your nails on your side of the cube also keep your socks on, no one wants to see you elbow deep in toe jam.

Flow charts

The whole reason for a flow chart is to give the reader a visual step by step view of a process...

Pet Peeve: people who do not know how to use software correctly to create a flow chart... Disjointed arrows, boxes askew and random colour usage looks awful. If you can't do the job right ask someone who can!!

Conference call etiquette

Per peeve: People who do not mute their phones when not actively talking on a conference call. Resulting in deafening coughing and ghost-like whispers. Very distracting.

Oh and chewing gum makes it sound like a cow is listening in.

Long days...

Really dislike the days where Father Time has slowed time down to sloth pace.
