Depending on the layout of your office/cube, you may have the pleasure of someone looking over your shoulder at work. This may occur for various reasons including the following: 1. You are making your 50th revision on a project; 2. You are sharing a funny email with an equally productive co-worker; 3. Your communication-deficient boss would rather SHOW you where to find a file rather then TELL you that it’s in her my documents (network), and 4.Additional reasons. As you are clicking around on the computer, typing or conversing with the Microsoft office assistant (he lies, by the way), this irritating colleague stands behind you, watching you work while instructing you where to make your next click. Does she think she is providing assistance by telling you where and what to click? Does she think you don’t know where to click next? Impossible! “Thanks Kattai; I had NO IDEA that clicking the X on the right hand corner of the pop-up ad will get rid of it.” Fact is, you do know where to click. You don’t need someone to point out the obvious. Maybe you’d be able to click faster if you didn’t sit 10 inches away from the computer screen while click-click-clicking for 10 hours a day. Thanks to this repetitive movement, your Carpal Tunnel Syndrome prohibits you from clicking faster then the speed of light. You are the master of your computer domain. Knowing how to operate your computer, your agent of labor, drives your day-to-day function. No one understands how to double click your mouse as you do; consequently, there is no need to stand over your shoulder and explain where to click next.

    I don't like small birds. They hop around so merrily outside my window, looking so innocent. but I know that secretly, they're watching my every move and plotting to beat me over the head with a large steel pipe and take my shoe.
