Oy! The craziness has begun at my office (as if there wasn't enough craziness).
There has been some construction (I'm fine with that since it's not near me and doesn't affect my work). Now that the construction is near completion the carpet on the 3rd Floor is being replaced. It does need to be replaced, it's been 11 years with heavy foot traffic and a slob or two so that's not the craziness. Since we live in a cubicle world all the cubicles have to be un-assembled so the carpet can be torn up and replaced and then the cubicles have to be re-assembled. This entire process will take weeks and will be done in shifts. They have moved a portion of the third floor to various spaces and they will be gone for the next two weeks (at the very least). I looked at some of the work spaces and it's a Human Resources nightmare!
We have a conference room with a long table. I've been in the room for presentations and meetings and when it's full it gets warm (even with air conditioning). When it's full to overflowing with 15 people AND their computers AND some people use TWO monitors it's scary. They have taken over another smaller meeting room that is crowded when 4 people are in there with just a table and chairs. There are now 6-8 people in there with computers, monitors, tables and chairs. UGH!
I don't know when I'll be moved or where I'll be moved but I'm planning on asking my supervisor's supervisor if I can work from home. I have high speed and if I have a meeting I can be here in 5 minutes.
99 percent of the people I work with are lovely and wonderful but there are one or two with whom I would rather not be sequestered. It reminds me of a lifeboat and someone may go overboard. It ain't gonna be me!
