Hello? Is There Anyone Beyond These Cubicle Walls?

Ok, I just have to share my hatred for something. I hate when I call out to someone in the other cubicle and they don't respond. Now I'm not one of those cube talkers that just yaps away all day over the walls, but occationally I do need to know if the other person is there.

Example, if I have a question about an order, I can't just wing it. So I call out and see if the person is there. (we share a wall, I'm not going to use the phone.) so in a friendly work tone I call out their name. No response. Then I listen, sure enough they're there typing away. They're not on the phone, they're not listening to music, they're just ignoring me.

So now I have to walk over to their desk, which means transversing the entire bank of cubes, just to reach a place less than 4 feet from my desk. Upon reaching their desk I'm greeted with the "why couldn't you just walk over look" to which I respond with the "is it bring a shotgun to work day?" look. Finally I ask my piddle little question, and then walk all the way back to my desk.

My rhythm is now shot, and I've most likely lost my place as to where I am in my work.

All I needed is a shout back, and it would have been all good.

Hell isn't other people, Hell is dealing with people in a cubicle.
