This is a sad indictment of office life.

"A 51-year-old who worked in the risk management division of the LA County Dept. of Internal Services, was reportedly performing an audit when she died at her desk but her body was not discovered until the next day."

No one said good-night at the end of the day? Or was she one of those dedicated compliance/internal auditors who worked after everyone else was gone.

My marketing contact mentioned this story to me. This lady just became a grandma - it's just sad. You'd think, that working in cubicles, that her neighbors would have heard something or walked past her at some point. When I worked in a cube farm, there was always a lot of activity around me. Made it hard for me to adapt to an office with a door on a very quiet floor.

The video said no one talked to her after 9 AM. Sad.

She probably died of loneliness.

NP, you can have my cube and I'll take your quiet office anyday.
Thankfully we moved floors and I'm no longer subjected to piped in music. I find lyrics very distracting when I'm auditing or reading regs.

I may be loud and annoying at times but at least I know if I die at my desk, someone will notice.

My less-than-friendly suspected alcoholic cubicle neighbor would probably turn me in for sleeping.

I am sorry, but I sent it to all of the audit/compliance staff...

Damn you.

They thought it was funny...

Me too.

I misread your reply to my post, Deek. I thought you were taking responsibility for being the hard to get along with suspected alcoholic neighbor of mine who let everyone know I was sleeping.

While I wasn't sleeping (or dead), the description of my neighbor is perfect.

I see now that you were just responding to the thread. I'm slow today. Or asleep.


I find the story amusing, too.

P.S. I also wanted the opportunity to say "Damn You" to someone who wouldn't click notify.

Maybe they should test her coffee mug for a toxic substance. I know I wash my cup well every morning!

<---wondering whom to notify about Ops.

You can notify me.

wouldn't that defeat the purpose?

Now why would you think that

Nope. Why would you think that?

It looked just like Skinny N Sweet, except for the skull and crossbones on the box.
