#wall saga

[fiofo]

We're moving into the main office tomorrow...

Fred threw himself against the dividing wall in a show of rare emotion.

I feel that we three will miss that great construction very soon.

It's been fun, Wall. We've had some good times; 

not being able to hear next door

having our own radio

the Wall of Shame (various hilarious photos that people have attached to their CVs)

the Clocks of the World, that make us look all pro and shit

the map of the world (that's hopefully coming with us)

It's a sad sad day for the International team.

Although, we were throwing away a load of old CVs (I was going through Fran's desk - he left in March this year) and I found a sheet with a bunch of questions for my interview two years ago! I also found stuff that dated back to 2007 and the most recent CV of Robin who quit last month. Quite a little time capsule!

There's been a right old hoo-ha at work regarding this damn wall:

First we were told we were moving last week

Then, because no one was in, IT were forced to postpone, saying there was no one available until January

Now suddenly we have a spare Dan that's going to come up and move us next Wednesday

So I basically have until Wednesday to get all my weeping and remorse out of my system as we abandon the delights of having a wall and separate office.

No more quiet lunches

Just... Carolyn

Urgh.

So that guy at work whose attitude was not conducive to a cohesive working atmosphere resigned this morning.

I just said "oh" because I was totally expecting it. He literally said to me (on two or three occasions): "it's been nice knowing you" before heading into a meeting with our MD.

I'm just worried that my workload will be so reduced that I no longer look productive (Robin's stuff was very high-volume, so it seemed like I was doing a lot).

In other work-related news: the wall is coming back down again (see: wall saga for why this is BAD NEWS). HS aren't as bad as they used to be, but it's going to cause problems joining offices again. Mainly radio-related problems. Le sigh.

Not sure if it's through tiredness, not having a successful day at work, those 4 idiots at work accepting the counteroffer and being back in the office (if they'd left, we would have knocked down the wall (again) and been re-integrated with the other division - which I would've liked, because there're more people in there who I like than don't know (including Attractive!NewGuy)), finding out that Robin is being a plonker and may or may not be up to something, or something else entirely.

Even a random drunk girl demanding a high five from me (I complied - it would've been rude not to) on the way home from work didn't brighten my mood that much.

Make it stooooooooooop

Today is lovely:

I'm sat in the walled-off office, listening to 6music, eating a lovely casserole. 

It was freezing earlier, but we've borrowed a heater from next door, so it's really cosy now.

Life is good.

Quick summary of today:

Abso-bloody-lutely knackered, because I didn't sleep a wink last night, for no discernible reason

Fire alarm went off at work, so our team went to Café Nero across the road, and Fran bought me a cup of tea :)

Found out that THE WALL IS ARRIVING TOMORROW. Couldn't come at a better moment: AWAW keeps being loud and annoying and changing the radio from Nick Cave to the fucking Black Eyed Peas. I'm ready to kill her...

Home again, with backache. Really terrible backache.

In the grumps (again)

If Carolyn's laugh had a face, I would punch it.

THAT WOMAN says she still "can't do" Twitter.

Oh, just fuck off already, please! 

STOP REPEATING THE SAME 3 ANECDOTES OVER AND OVER AGAIN YOU MAKE ME SO MAD I DON'T UNDERSTAND PUNCTUATION I'M SO MAD
