The person one cubicle down from me insists on clearing her throat about 4 times a minute. She gets into these throat-clearing kicks maybe three or four times a week. It's driving me insane! AAAAAAGH!

Buy her a bag of lozenges!
Why is there always money for war, but none for education?

Good idea, but I'm not sure I could restrain myself from shoving them down her throat.

That is a tough situation, hopefully it is only a seasonal allergy. Offering the lozenges would be a nice gesture.

It's too bad that she has to go. She was so nice, too.

Yes, leave her lozenges.
More proof that humans were not meant to work in cubicles.

The thing is, I'm not sure lozenges would even help. I have the feeling that she clears her throat kind of like a nervous tic. She never coughs and has no other symptoms that suggest either a cold or allergies.

Hmmmm, too impersonal. Maybe something to do with my fist and her larynx.

Tourette's?
Then maybe leave some Prozac on her desk.

Not that bad. I don't think she even knows she is doing it.

Be glad you don't have to live with her. Some of you might remember Veronica's little rant about our new share-mate a while back ago. Turns out he's a cougher too. Sweet.

Only five months till Australia now...
