Cubicle noise

Quick question Can you tell me who sang "Time to say goodbye" with Bocelli? If you say Celine Dion, i'm jumping off the roof... I'm talking about the real singer...
It was Sarah Brightman, who starred in the original "Phantom of the Opera".

Did you expect him to read your mind? Or even your profile? ;)

She isn't talking because of her problems, she is talking about her problems just to fulfill her need to talk. Don't think like a man when you listen to a woman, think like a woman. Men aren't mind readers, and women don't talk to resolve problems. They talk to share their state of mind, it's their nature.

Okay, in a cublicle nearby two girls have been talking about the one girl's boyfriend problems for about 20 minutes now. I have an ear infection and can't wear my headphones. I want to go over there and say, "If you spend as much time communicating to your boyfriend what you are communicating to your friends you probably wouldn't have these problems. Men aren't mind readers."
Cubicle noise.. That is one of the reasons I can't work in a cubicle. Starting a new project or jobb I always ensure that I get a room for myself. Everything else doesn't really matter. jhaga
It would be glorious to see mankind at leisure for once. It is nothing but work, work, work. I cannot easily buy a blank-book to write thoughts in; they are commonly ruled for dollars and cents. A[man], seeing me making a minute in the fields, took it for granted that I was calculating my wages. — business! - I think that there is nothing, not even crime, more opposed to poetry, to philosophy, ay, to life itself, than this incessant business.

I've always had a reputation for being a somewhat, er, colorful character, and I make it a point to maintain that. Comes in handy for times like these. Although it's a very mild example of what I'm known to do when confronted with the incompetent or inconsiderate, in this case I'd simply stick my head out the cube and (very loudly) tell them to move along so that I could go back to sleep. Most clueless people are also :baaaa!:. One good bark usually does the trick. :-D

Yes, but you're a programmer. If programmers thought like women, we'd forever be clicking through message boxes. Oh, wait... :doh:

Any man who claims to understand the plural, doesn't know what he is talking about, just as any women who claims to understand the plural. If you are very lucky, and very skillful, and very attentive, you might understand one, the one you are with. And in the end, that is the only one that counts. :)

They'd never be happy with simple answers like "Yes", "No" or "OK". Ignore would not be an option, but "Retry" might work from time to time.
