If this guy is married his wife is a saint.
    At my former office location (same employer) there was a guy that did the exact same thing. All day. Everyday. It drove me insane, and was the main reason I began wear noise-cancelling headphones at my desk. Think he got laid off or early retired a few years back.

      I never had to sit in one place very often. My pet peeve was the chokingly strong, musky perfumes people wore pored on even though we had signs everywhere saying please don't. After I had to examine them no amt of hand washing got it off my hands or out of my nostrils. YUCK< YUCK< BLECH!

        The past few posts make me very happy I work in my own building, with only one other person there for 1/2 my shift (and he's about the most non-descript person you can think of).

            I've been at my job for 2+ years, and according to People Above Me, I'm doing great!

            However, according to a particular coworker, I just walked in and I don't know jack.

            Between this and 2 coworkers intentionally calling me the wrong name, I wanted to erupt today.

                  I honestly don't think the guy behind me could possibly make any more noise with his mouth while he's chewing. Every potato chip, crunched wide open. Everything else, that awful mashing chewing sound.

                    My tax valuation for my house for 2020 is now a full 100k higher than when I bought my house in 2018.

                      What happen to the taxable valuation change ceiling that was put into place so many years prior? It must have been repealed, or you're living in a multi-million dollar home.

                        I paid 480 for this house last September. For 2018, taxable value was 382. For 2019, they went up to 410. Ok, previous owners did some updates.

                        But to go from 382 to 482 in the span of two years? Yikes

                          I guess I don't have much sympathy when you paid 480 for it...since the valuation is now matching what was proven to be the actual market value of the house.

                            It’s technically higher already by a few k but yes I see your point. My last house didn’t jump like this (and it’s within a mile of this house) so I thought it would be a little more gradual like the last one.

                              You must have caught the reassessment cycle.

                              Bigger question, did the tax rate change?

                                I think it’s a flat 4% increase for next year.
                                I won’t know what they are assessing me until November, but I guess this is their warning that my assessed value is going way up.
