Jobness
As I mentioned, another co-worker left my company. As I result I have inherited her projects some of which she had inherited from those that had left before. I was on the verge of freaking out but I think that I've finally bent my head around it. Still, I mourn the loss of the easy summer I assumed I would have before she gave her notice.
Last week some company big wigs came to our office. Partly to figure out why our region has had so many people leave lately. Partly to inform the accounting department which is the entire first floor that they are being centralized to another state by October. They then immediately had a mandatory pep talk with the entire office during which they did not mention this during the entire talk.
Two weeks ago we got a company wide e-mail celebrating the advent of summer hours in which employees were encouraged to alter their schedule so that they could leave by noon on Fridays. This Tuesday my boss had to tell us that after some consideration those in a position to do so had decided that this was not practical or feasible for our region. Since everybody but the admin staff has incredibly flexible hours it affects a limited group. It's still Indian giving.
That same week an anouncement went out that our office had finally gotten three cars for shared use. It was all very exciting because now we no longer had to subject our personal vehicles to the wear and tear of field work. That is until we were told this week that we couldn't use them for the field.
Today one of the women in my office came to warn me to watch where I stepped because as she was walking down the stairs she saw what she though was chocolate on one of the steps. As she went to brush it aside she felt the unmistakeable sensation of foot settling in poop and the air became musty with that distinct scent. In addition, she informed me that one of the women in accounting had recently spotted a larger poop on the floor in the recess that once contained the building ATM. That woman is convinced it's human.
