Mouth noises
Ranting... I work as a medical transcriptionist; I used to work transcribing as a secretary prior to entering the medical field, so I've been doing this, actually, since before graduating from high school (summer jobs, etc.) The biggest change I've noticed is the utter contempt and out-and-out rudeness which I have to listen to! Just now I was listening to some doc go um, um, um, um, clear his throat, snort/sniff a big wad of ???, then repeat the same mantra over and over and over again. I've heard doctors in the bathroom, one doctor toilet training his young son, dictators eating, drinking, having side conversations, laughing, yelling at nurses, yawning, trying to dictate on the interstate on a cell phone with the window down..... all so danged frustrating! Don't they realize human ears have to endure these assault to the senses? I was never subjected to such coarse and crass behavior "back in the day..." We've just gotten too "casual"... I can't stand, in my daily life, for someone to call me, then proceed to eat in my ear, or worse yet, take the portable phone in with them as they use the toilet.... EWWWWWWW!
BTW, kitties do get AIDS which very closely resembles the human virus, though it is not transmittable to humans; they have the same immunocompromised state making them susceptible to every little germ that comes along.
Rant over.
