Oh dear God. blankRemember I said I'd been asked to go into work Friday morning, which I had booked weeks ago as a day off, for a couple of hours because "something exciting would be happening" and I'd pretty much surmised that nothing would be exciting enough to get me out of bed, washed, dressed, make up on and to work for 9am on my day off? Well. ... I was right. *sigh* We all got there for 9am, waited outside the building trying to peek though the tapped up windows to see what was going on. Yeah, tape. They're all about the drama. We'd been told that some special guests would be coming so we'd been trying to guess who it might be. I'd guessed Santa. It was not Santa. Turns out, it was us. Us FFS. We walked in the door and our managing director went "TA DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" and showed us the new look reception area with balloons and bucks fizz (which I refused to drink at 9am coz I don't like it anyway and I have a cold and didn't want to make myself feel worse. I made tea later in defiance) and got led into the showroom. We then proceed to be shown a powerpoint presentation about how the business was going to "get it's Fizz back" and how everything was gonna be marvellous. To demonstrate how marvellous it was gonna be they'd bought us all presents. And a rose. And bacon sandwiches. And doughnuts. Bribery can go quite far with increasing moral in a company, but I guarantee that nothing would have boosted my moral more than LETTING ME STAY IN BED A FEW HOURS LONGER AND NOT HAVING TO GO INTO WORK. They've also, in their infinite stupidity, moved all the desks around to "try and create a more unified working environment," which although it gives me more people to talk to it also means my monitors can be seen by loads of people so I can't go on the internet to waste my time when I have fuck all to do any more. I better pray that going to Manchester will create some work for me to do. What's worse is that they did the desk moves by themselves with no IT people as Graham, our one and only IT guy, is away on holiday this week. This means that they've moved people to where there are no network cables, the phones don't work, half the computers don't work properly and no one can access any of the drives they need. At least this is what I was told. There was no way I was turning on my work computer on my day off :P I did at least make sure everything was plugged in where it should be. Which it wasn't. So after fixing the cables I did a quick on/off just to make sure the bloody thing started up. I spent the rest of the time wandering around the office trying to retrieve my stuff, which they'd gotten all messed up with other peoples. We we all hunting round trying to rebuild our desks. I then stole as many chocolates as possible and made a swift exit at 11am, after confirming I could have a half day Wednesday as compensation for coming in on my day off. In short, major fuck up all round. I myself feel so much more motivated. Not. Congratulations! In trying to motivate me you've actually done the opposite and I feel less motivated than ever! And I didn't think that was actually possible!! Well done. | ||
