Has anyone heard the phrase "office artifact"? It sounds like he's saying that or "off its artifact" and is referencing a tremor.  Any help is appreciated.

metallic artifact? - just me #1

He's definitely saying the word 'office' and now, when he repeated it, it sounds like 'office art effect' and says the tremor only occurs when in the office. Not a reference I'm familiar with. ????????

It sounds like he is - misusing the word

artifact. From your description, it appears that he is using the word "artifact" to describe an unusual occurrence. The tremor is an "artifact" of being in the office. I could be wrong about this as I cannot hear what is said or how it is said, so you will have to use your own judgment, but that's how I would explain what your hearing in the context you have described.

40-hour Week Definition
Nov 09, 2010

I work in the medical transcription industry.

What matters is that the employer has the legal right to control the details of how the servi ...
