Shut your piehole!
Sometimes I wonder if some of my co-workers realize how good we have it in our office. Web surfing and instant messenging are crucial parts of our job, as is watching sporting events. Sure, there are things that could be better (just like any office), but from the way some would put it, it sounds like we're working in a sweatshop surrounded by idiots, including myself.

I bring that up because eBay has apparently banned talking at desks, seemingly making it like elementary school all over again. It definitely sounds ridiculous, but then again, if it can shut up the unnecessary and unwarranted whining, complaining and backbiting, it may actually have some merit.

(Thanks Steve for the link.)
