Headphones man.

I tune out everything all day long.

The guy next to me uses headphones. I'm debating if this is a good idea.

I'd hate for my boss to have to tap me to get my attention.

That's one of the reasons I haven't done that. The other is I like to hear him coming.
 
How about bucking up and realizing that the world doesn't revolve around you. You're probably annoying as hell but are too wrapped up in paying attention to the woman next to you to realize it. You're so weak willed and mentally chained to your physical surroundings that you can't block it out? If you were a Zen Buddhist, you'd be a crummy one.

When the hell did he ever claim to be a Zen Buddhist? That was so arbitrary...
 
It could be allergies, or a lingering cough. I'd just tell you to calm the eff down.

Oh, and the FML thing? Man, if a person coughing is the worst thing you've got going on, your life sounds pretty good.

Meh, I don't care.

I have nothing to hide.

If I have AT up on one monitor I at last have half a dozen servers I'm RDP'd into at any given time on the other.

I can nef and work at the same time.
