Office Policy

If you haven't read my blog "Maintenance Issues" from November 7, 2011 I suggest you take a few minutes to read it before going any further with this blog because a) It's funny -and- b) It's relevant to understanding the hilarity of the following entry.

So now that you're up to speed on my feelings of personal hygiene in the office...here is a clip from our bi-weekly office newsletter that was issued yesterday:

S&Lers periodically ask that everyone be reminded about minimizing distractions to nearby co-workers. Activities that are described as being especially distracting or disruptive include:

- Using the speaker phone feature in a work area.

- Listening to a PC program, playing a radio, etc., without using headphones.

- When using headphones, not having the volume low enough or unconsciously humming along, snapping fingers to a catchy beat, etc.

- Attending to personal grooming including the use of nail clippers.

- Having relatively loud conversations outside a conference room while waiting for the room.

- Having lengthy conversations with multiple people crowded into a work area.

- Having lengthy personal phone conversations.

Using Quiet Rooms and headphones when applicable and being aware of other unintended distractions are courtesies that your co-workers will appreciate.

Thank you :)
