Oh my god, person who really works here, please SHUT. UP.
There's a girl in a cube two "doors" down and across the "hall" who is, I'm sure, very nice, but who has that particular Carolina (either NC or northern SC; it's hard for me to tell) accent that just pierces your brain when it comes at you with the timbre of a woman's voice. My friend Son of a Preacher Man has that accent, but his voice is low enough that it didn't give me a headache; my first college roommate had that accent, and it made me want to die. And lest you think this had anything to do with my extra-dialectal relationship with that roommate, my friend Future Daughter-In-Law of a Preacher Man has that accent, and I like her a lot but her voice does tend to find the weak spot on my skull and hit it repeatedly with a sharpened hammer.
So, yeah. Working on Temp Headache, Day Two (somehow before yesterday she wasn't talking that much -- oh! I remember on Monday she was saying how she was getting over a cold; maybe that made her voice mellower), on account of the chirpy real employee over there. Gah.
