Why are you sniffing at work? Is it because you are crying? Maybe you're co-worker doesn't like seeing a grown man cry. Maybe he's afraid you'll get him started.
I used to work in a cube next to a man that was constantly clearing his throat. I started throwing throat logenzes over the cube wall. He thanked me.
Another thing I do when I'm somewhere I don't want to be, is I take notes..not real notes, they usually say something like, "GmTfOoH" Stands for 'get me the f out of here'. Then I draw flowers, and ivy and decorate the letters. Sometimes I use my highlighters to color them in.
Sometimes I send text messages, or make a grocery shopping list. I keep a little note book in my desk, and scrap book the pages with pictures, ideals, or drawings....things I've cut out of the paper or magazines, there's a few fortunes from fortune cookies when I had Chinese take out for lunch.
come on..you can entertain yourself doing something. One day, when I was leaving early, I stood up and announced...in my best Cartman voice, "Screw you guys I'm goin' home."
I am constantly asking my co-workers questions. Not necessarily about work either...just about anything the pops in my mind.
