Footsteps
When you work in one department long enough--especially when your desk is close to a hallway--you begin to identify people by the sound of their footsteps and gait, those auditory fingerprints that are unique to each person in your office. For example, there's guy with loafers, gal with little feet in little heels, guy with keys on belt, the plodder, fast walker with windpants, and of course, guy who always has dollie. I know when all of you are coming, so don't even try to surprise me.

How do you have time to listen to footsteps when you're breaking necks all day?
ReplyDeleteSo funny and so true, about learning the sound of people's footsteps.
ReplyDeleteI've also gotten to that point with knowing by the sound of their jewelry making noise when they walk.
I wish we didn't have carpeting in the office.
