You and the boss are so far up one another’s asses we call you colon buddies. You’ve got to be the most ignorant, incompetent POS I’ve ever worked under. Oh yeah, how did that happen? You’re my supervisor? More like stupidvisor. You ask me the most moronic questions that if you just shut your trap for 30 seconds and think, you wouldn’t have to annoy the crap out of me. And one more thing could you quit laughing like a coin operated dummy. Harharhar.

I have a coworker who really gets under my skin; I don’t actually work w/ him that much but we share a room, 2 cubes, together all day. He talks a lot, an hour or two a day, and I’m nice enough to be minimally responsive which is just enough to keep him talking about his favorite subject: himself. It’s often entertaining, but his rants and stories usually have an underlying condescending tone to them, but nevertheless, I don’t want to hear about how “awesome” he is anymore.

Some nights I cannot sleep b/c I dread having to face him in the morning; I often rehearse arguments and insults that rarely come to light for hours. I want to stop thinking about this — I realize this is partially my own problem.

As far as disrupting work, it’s usually not a problem, I’m not that busy and if I am I can shrug him off. It is a problem for him though: he’s 15 years older than me (I’m 26) and has a bit more responsibility and his David Brent-esque and/or expert-on-everything monologues cost him a lot of work-time.

This is the 2 year anniversary of being moved in with him, how can I make him stop talking to me? Or, how can I let his personality not affect me? Are there any articles about the subject, or any place to share my many funny stories / rants?
