      Why wait 3 months?  Send him a polite IM or email requesting that he not sing and drum on the desk.  He's probably not aware that he's disturbing you.  (If he was, you would've said something. :) ) /ravi

        So, take your taser, file off the serial numbers, then shoot him.

          Maybe should be looking for a new job unless you can get sympathy from management. Have you talked to management?

            Probably should do it sooner rather than later. Boss should want you happy and productive. Now telling them to fix it or you go is a different story. Has to be handled much more carefully. Last contract found that I probably could have gone to my contracting agency and they would have moved me temporaily to New York to ensure I did not loose rights to having per diem. Instead I changed companies. Oh well.

                Noise cancelling headphones are the greatest invention since... erm... radio? [edit] Oh, I just saw your earlier reply that you can't have headphones. Just kill him and dump his body in the confidential papers shredder bin - it worked for me!

                - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

                  Eh? Presumably you have your office mate have basically the same job yet that person is allowed to sing all day and listen to the radio and you can't wear headphones? Perhaps you should ask about that policy. Perhaps you should suggest to human resources that to insure productivity that no one can listen to the radio, sing or drum on their desk.

                    Realistically of course there are only three alternatives 1. He stops 2. You quit 3. He quits. Option 1/3 means that you must find some way to make it happen. You could of course negotiate with option 2 by saying "He stops making noise or I am out of here". That of course depends on your own situation and how valuable the company finds you and him.

                        Such a deal as I have for the OP. We buy CA (cyanoacrylate adhesive) in 5 gallon containers.
