The cucumber quelling
For weeks, I languished in that new, strange, closeted cubicle. After years of telecommuting, I'd awaited the opportunity to get to know my coworkers face-to-face and have some human contact! It wasn't to be.
Cucumbers. Thrice a day--that's an eight-hour work day, mind you--my neighbor crunches on crisp crunchy cucumbers and it drove me insane on only my first day in the office. I couldn't go on.
Should I tell her that cucumbers spread leprosy? Malaria?! My flimsy iPhone ear buds weren't cutting it, and I couldn't just talk to you. That would be too direct.
Then I found these. Today, I donned these lightweight, comfortable, trendy or whatever headphones and I did smell cucumbers at one point but I didn't hear them.
And then I came here to share my story. Thank you.
