I sit with more than one of those, unless they work harder than I think. Every time you go past their desks, its internet on the computer (says me on the internet here lol), and the non-work conversation lasts pretty much all day and MOST days. Resistant to change too... cant see the point of Revit, they fight every time a model takes longer than a drawing...
I tend to put on my headphones to quieten the BS to a manageable level, and this helps reduce my stress levels... For MOST of the day I am working my a$$ off and I'm paid way less than them... it burns somewhat, but I go home with a clear conscience, knowing I have done what I am being paid to do.
