Gripe

The woman in the office next door to mine clears her throat.

Constantly.

One morning, it seemed like she had something stuck in her throat. This was the first time I noticed it at all. After literally 10 minutes of constant coughing and throat-clearing, I got up and walked next door. We're friendly enough that I feel comfortable saying to her, "It sounds like you have a cough - here, have some hard candies."

But since that time, I've noticed that the periodic throat clearing continues. All day.

It's quiet enough...it's just a little ahem-hem-hem. But it's happened at least five times since I began writing this post. If only it were a drinking game - I'd be well on my way!
