The longest day

Yesterday at the office the Most Annoying Man truly surpassed himself. I was not in a sunny & tolerant frame of mind due to the ongoing laptop debacle, so naturally MAM chose yesterday to be afflicted with his most chronic post-nasal drip to date. My bleak musings were interrupted with clockwork regularity every 25 seconds by a loud and phlegmy throat-clearing HARRUMPH, followed up with a foul snort. Torment does not begin to describe the ordeal. It's a mystery why he's in advertising when he could be earning big bucks wearing down the inhabitants of Guantanamo Bay.
