I’m trying to write. Mr. Rilch is downstairs listening to the radio and cataloguing his videos. Should be a cozy setting, right? Not when I have to hear him YAWN every two minutes! Every fucking time I think I’m back in my groove, I hear “EEEE-YAWWWWWWWWGHHHHHHHH…” then I settle down then “OOooooooOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAHhhhh…” repeat ad infinitum. God damn it, if you’re that sleepy, turn off the TV and listen to the radio in bed!! And no, I do not know that song! No matter how many times you sing the first two lines, I am not going to join in, **because I do not fucking know it!** ---

They say yawning is contagious. Just reading this thread has made me tired. Maybe I should go to bed, as I’m getting old. _yawn_ F\_X ---

I hate it when you yawn _and_ sneeze at the same time, like I just did. Knocked over a Coke can, I did. ---

I thought this was going to be a pitting of all the people who post mistakes and then say, “Sorry, I’m really tired.” As if that’s an excuse. ---

Just keep the car keys hidden and prevent him from driving anywhere near New Jersey. [Unless you wanna see him put away for 10 years, with a $100,000 fine](http://www.nj.com/statehouse/ledger/index.ssf?/base/news-1/1060147975327160.xml). ---

he must be a loud yawner if you can hear him all the way downstairs. ---

I was on a medication a while ago that made me yawn. I want to work and was yawning like crazy. I said, “Oh no! I have yawn!” No one believed me that “Yawn” is given on TV commercials as a possible side-effect of some drugs. Now if anyone yawns, they cry, “Julie! I have yawn!” Hrm. It was funny the first time.

I’m so freaking sleepy right now. I wish work had a naptime. We could just pull out little cots from under the desk right after lunch and sleep for about 40 minutes. Then get back to work. That would be sweet. ---

They even have make shift doors on the cubicles so no one bugs them. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Peach \* > \*\*he must be a loud yawner if you can hear him all the way downstairs. \*\* We live in an apartment. The office where I’m at is sort of a loft overlooking the living room. I also can’t close the door because of the ironing board on the back of it, so between the stairway (right next to the door) and the open wall, I can hear everything downstairs. This is **usually** a good thing. I can hear the TV or radio from up here, for instance, and we can call back and forth to each other. But I draw the line at “OOooooooOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAHhhhh…”. ---
