So I've been at my first real post college job for about 9 months now...

Anyone know tricks to deal with the following

Become restless and wanna quit.

That girl next to you sounds like shes straight off the mickey mouse club and talks all day on the phone to clients.

Every type of music you listen to starts to sound the same and although it drowns out the office sounds it seems to bother you just as much...

Maybe I just need to lay off the coffee... lol

Yeah, welcome to cubical life. Actually you might get lucky depending on where you work, so that you do get a nice, spacious, quiet cubical. But if this is your first job, don't get your hopes up too high (sorry to disappoint).

I know, those chatter boxes can be a nightmare. And worse, they don't understand how awful they can be. Personally, I just keep a hammer around and slam on their head.

is she hot?

things that help me.

start smoking weed before work and at lunch. it probably won't help your productivity, but hey, your just out of college, no one is expecting too much.

start bending the rules. come in late, leave early, be annoying yourself. impose yourself on others the way they impose themselves on you. i find that people that follow the rules spend a lot of energy getting upset about people who don't. people who don't follow the rules just keep truckin along. and stupid people are annoying but are hard to annoy, so who really wins.

use illustrator world instead of working.

Eat garlic. LOTS of it. On top of that, start growing garlic at work. Then every 10 minutes start your breathing exercise routine. Get a written note from your doctor that it's beneficial to your health and you have to do it in order to focus and be productive.

Or if that doesn't help, just be honest to yourself and start eating stuff that makes you fart. And just knock yourself out. Pretty soon you'll have the whole office space to yourself.
