I've encountered a problem with my default phrase. (May 8, 2005)

During stressful moments at the office, I tend to sigh and mutter under my breath, not realizing that others might hear me due to the fact that I've got ear plugs filling my head with musical delight (a/k/a iPod on shuffle). One of my phrases is "Oy Vey" or when I'm feeling lazy, just the first part. This has become a problem for me. You see, there is a young lady who was recently hired who's first name is Oye (pronounced "Oy-yay") and she also goes by Oy. As you can imagine, she keeps stopping what she's doing, turning and looking at me ... every five minutes. I'm sure this is highly annoying for both of us.
