Mind Your Own Beeswax!

Imagine coming back to work from a really great, relaxing weekend, full of food, friends, laughter, and just all sorts of fun. Ya, Monday maybe a drag but if you're coming back from an amazing weekend you would feel re-energized to start the week. So anyhow, I was feeling like such a little Miss Sunshine and decided to come to work extra early just to get some stuff done. I work better when the office is quiet and with less people around. Imagine my surprise when I walked in to my office and found this:
Did Hansel and Gretel get lost in my office and leave behind tons of crumbs on the table? Was someone pigging out? I don't mind people eating in the office, heck, I'm guilty of eating in the office too. But really now? People need ot clean up after themselves.

And worse of all...Guess what else I found?
Someone's used swab! Look at the yellowish tips! Ewwwwww!!!!!! Disgusting! This definitely takes "mind your own beeswax" to a whole new level.

I had someone clean off all that mess and I was back to being happy little Miss Sunshine once again, but hours later my mood shifted once again. Insensitive people really get to me. Someone asked me where my dad was and I told them that he is based in California. Then this someone asks about my mom and I told him that I live with my mom. Then he continues on with his nosiness and asked me if my mom or my dad visit each other. I told him no. And then he asks me why? I answered him politely "My parents are separated but not legally. Paper works need to be processed". I figured after telling him this, that he would stop asking questions. I mean, the normal reaction would be to apologize and change the topic. But nooooo, not for this fella. He pushed the issue and asked me why my parents separated. So I had to just look him in the eyes and tell him "I don't think my parent's separation has anything to do with my job nor does it have anything to do with my job performance." How awkward! I just really wanted to tell him to mind his own beeswax.

Ugh, so yeah, that was two beeswax in one day! Poor me! I hope you guys are having a happy week.

First of all, ewwwwwwwwwwww! aaa that's so disgussting..! Some people are just really rude; maybe you should do the very same thing to them and see how they like it..! THAT WILL SHOW THEM Ò n Ó (hahaa, perhaps not the most mature solution, but hey!)

...and that guy surely has some nerve! Next time just roll your eyes and ask him personal intrussive questions yourself as well! Ò 3Ó hahaha maybe not! just ignore him and move on, you have most important things to do! :3

OMG.. I can't believe someone left that on your desk, that's DISGUSTING!! It sounds like a really awkward situation with the guy, some people don't get social cues. I'm having an accessory giveaway on my blog today, I hope you stop by! No earwax included, I promise :)

Gross! I can't imagine why some people are so inconsiderate, clueless, disgusting. It makes me want to lock my office door.

Maybe he nosey guy has a crush on you and he was nervous...wanted to show interest, but didn't know what to say.

PS - Now I know why the zombies were in the barn.

That is horrible! I'm so sorry Mel. What jerks. I've never worked in an office, or an open office, and I don't think I could. Just having people in your business all the time. Good on you for setting him straight and maintaining your dignity.
