I love my mom, but I don't always understand her.  She's an unemployed, bored, middle-aged woman who lives on facebook 24/7.  She'll sometimes have this weird, obsessive behavior and I can't help but look down on her.  Right now she's dealing with a psycho ex-boyfriend who's been stalking her for the past several months.  He drives by her house all the time and tries to follow her everywhere she goes, he'll constantly send her letters and flowers.  Instead of nipping this in the bud and taking legal action, something she should have done six months ago, she has become obsessed with the stalking.  It's almost as if she wants him to stalk her so she can run and tell someone about it.  I'm guessing that she's so bored that she thrives on the attention she's getting from it.

Working in a small office certainly has its advantages and disadvantages, but this is about a disadvantage.  There is no privacy at all so any sounds such as chomping on food, rolling around in your chair, typing on your computer, phone vibrating, sneezing, sniffling, you name it, is all out in the open and within an earshot of my coworkers.  I have been able to get used to such small annoyances because they're going to happen, we're all human, it's impossible for us to be completely still.  I just can't stand it when my of older, crankier coworkers make me feel like I can't breathe without irritating them (these are all women).  I guess since I'm practically the child of my shift (I'm 29, the others are in their 50s and 60s), I haven't quite reached their level of maturity so I'm automatically going to be annoying to them. 
Thanks to the huge crash in our economy, these old biddies can't retire yet since they lost thousands of dollars from their retirement plan.  I guess I can't blame them for being cranky.
