*snert*
I have one medium-sized cup in the morning. Starting tomorrow, I’ll reduce it to one small cup.
LOTS of avacados! *yummy*
Mernin’...
Howdy!
*HUG*
I used to have a couple full cups in the morning. But a few years ago I just somehow lost the “need” for it and usually only have a cup or half-cup at the Sunday morning coffee hour following the service.
Looks like I might have dodged a bullet in the office sweepstakes here by being first to move.
In the wing where my old office is, they're moving folks around and doubling up in the larger offices. (One I suspect will go to three people.) One fellow across the hall is being moved to the lab (a largish open interior area) to join the technician. The other fellow across the hall (employee hire #1, here over 25 years) learned he's either going to have to move or double up, but maybe not before the end of the year.
Looks like they have a big wave of hiring underway...
Got any 4s?
Go Fish...
We had to change “stations” and “shifts” every six months, just to keep us in line. They ALWAYS had me working weekends, and ALWAYS had me within ear shot of a supervisor.
If I could have changed jobs, I would have, but the section blackballed me. I applied for about 30 jobs within the county, and I have every single rejection letter.
And that’s a whole ‘nother story! LOL!
Hm. I may move again... or... I heard something that sounded like building new offices...
Time to go home.
We had “pods” for offices. They put me in the smallest one, and me with claustrophobia...*shudder*
Hang on to your stapler.
Why would I want to go there? I have enough trouble with cleanliness-challenged McDonald’s employees, here....
...At the risk of sounding like a party pooper, time has no "point." We go forward in time or we go backward with history and memories, but we can't pivot on it. (I'm sorry...I'll try to behave myself...)
I started out in a 2-man pod with the owner's workbench, and after a few months moved to one of the two *large* 4-man pods that housed R&D. I like my privacy so that really bugged me at first, but they were welcoming and pretty soon I was part of thee banter that went on all the time.
Then we moved upstairs to the brand-new west wing with small Microsoft-style private offices. Hated that -- it was too quiet, and the built-in work surfaces ("desks") were designed so you sat with your back to the door (and its glass panes). Perfect for a micro-managing manager, which we soon got.
Not many years after that I moved to a bigger office on the (now) new north wing. This was status -- for all this wing made the R&D wing look full of life. I could also sit so passersby weren't reading my monitors. But adjusting the blinds was a bit of a nuisance because I had to walk around the desk the long way -- not a problem at first, but when I shifted from the overhead (indirect) fluorescents to daylight, blinds settings became more important.
That's the office I just lost. My new "cave" back in the R&D wing (at the end of the west wing is the south wing, where I am) is becoming just that; I have a frontal for the "desk" (they're really tables) that I rotated out of planned (read over your back) orientation to face the door instead. The overhead is rarely used and never for long. And it is dark and cool (69F).
I plan to have the changes complete in a few weeks, including a bit of black gauze over the door's glass. (See-through enough for what's intended,but no more than that.)
Ah, the joyous mirk. *\;-)
How many of them? I left two behind on the last move.
Lighten the load, don'cha know...
Survey says I might be okay. We have room to take in the 4 R&D positions this wing, and I think there's room for three in the other.
I was finally moved to a “pod” with my back to a window, but the gal in my diagonal wanted the blinds open in the morning. Which would have been OK, had it not been an east window, so I couldn’t see my screen.
So I shut the blinds. She would open them. I told her she needed to be considerate to the other employees. She went to the supervisor. I told the super that the girl needed an attitude adjustment.
She lasted about another three weeks before she was terminated. Reason? Attitude not in keeping with Customer Service Mission Statement.
