It's getting there. I already got shirty with one of them this morning, and I never do that, ever. I'm past the point of caring now though - I'm being punished now for the ineptitude of of others and I won't have that.

Agreed. Nobody should have to tolerate that.
Before you actually punch anyone though.. just remember, the job interview isn't until tomorrow.. and it's not a dead cert. ;)

I'm not going to punch anyone anyway, I'm just not going to be very nice to them anymore.

People oohing and aaahing over my accent when I'm in a hurry
Co-workers who keep talking to me because they want to hear my accent
Customers who pass the phone over to their friends so they can hear my accent
My accent....
