Mr. Nosey

I am sure most of you have met one of these species at some time or the other. My problem is that I am seated next to one. I sit in a huge cubicle where each gets enough space. This has no meaning to Mr. Nosey. He twirls his chair and sits prosperously facing my monitor. My freezing scorpion stares have no effect on him. He is meddlesome and is proud of it.

He does not think twice before questioning me on the document that I am working on; with which he has nothing to do. He has the chutzpah to inform me that I have a new mail icon blinking on the status bar. He does not simply look at my screen, he imbibes the details. Initially I tried to make him conscious of his irritating behavior – in vain. Oops! he is looking this way again. I wonder if he realizes that he is the subject of this blog...

Today I put up my tchotchkes for display (includes the candles from P, doggie from RM, "I am the best" cup from Sam) My desk looks too cool! but I believe my co-workers think I'm a crackpot because I'm always decorating and redocrating my cube. But I figure, since I'm here 13+ hours each day, then why the heck shouldn't I decorate my cube? I freakin' live here!!
