So I’ve gotten settled in to my new office. Other than instantly becoming the go-to person for most things technical on the floor, it’s great up there.
But in the nutty place that I work, there’s already talk of another move!
See the Print Shop is having issues with the paper. It’s currently not kept in a climate controlled environment, it gets humid in the storeroom which causes the paper to get wavy and stick together. That causes the printers to jam and all kinds of maintenance issues.
So now there’s talk of evicting “the golden children” (the folks whose office my old desk was located in a corner of) from their current spaces and expanding the print shop into where the golden children are now.
Now, screwing over the golden children is not something I have a problem with. A month after I arrived, they decided to repossess part of my desk and not give me a chance to even remove my stuff from the desk… Even worse was that my boss didn’t even have the courtesy to tell me that I was loosing the desk. Combine that with the fact that they were less than hospitable to me while I was in there office and I don’t think too highly of them.
When the print shop moves, we’ll get our old space back. But we’ll get the entire space to ourselves instead of having to share it with two other people and a few tons of crap. Kinda…
See my boss has now decided that it’s time for a land grab and refuses to give up any space he currently has. That means I’ll keep my office for now, my office mate goes back down the hill to our old space. Well, until 8 months from now when one of my peers is transferred and I’ll be expected to move into his office which is closer to the bosses office. Oh did I mention that I was originally supposed to be in that office when I first got here, but got booted out…
Confused yet?
That’s ok, it gets dumber…
Well, when we moved out of the golden children’s spaces they offered me and my co-worker the desks that we were using. I turned them down (something about making a deal with the devil) but my co-worker took them up on the offer. They made it clear that they wanted the desks out so that they could open up the space and give them more room.
Surprise, surprise, a month later the golden children are demanding that my co-worker give up his desk because they think they may possibly get to hire two more people. Hmm, at no time were we told that either desk was being loaned to us, because if we were there was no way we would have taken them… Even worse, my boss won’t stand up to the golden children’s boss and tell her that we’re keeping the desk…
Sometimes I just wonder why I even bother…
