Pick up thy intray and walk
I've worked in the same department for eleven years. The first seven of them was spent happily enough in one building, 4th Floor, P Court. No problem whatsoever.
Then about four years ago, the powers that be started a relocation programme that defies understanding. This didn't just happen to us, the entire authority seems to have been permanently in transit ever since. I don't know why they haven't supplied us with tents.
See if you can follow the logic here...
Move 1: P Court to V Place
Move 2: V Place to G Street
Move 3: G Street to P Court
Move 4: 4th Floor P Court to 3rd Floor P Court (??)
Move 5: P Court to T Buildings (this one happens tomorrow)
and in two months time...
Move 6: T Buildings to V Place
Why? What on earth do they gain from constantly shifting us from one place to the next? The cost of these moves must be phenomenal and this seems to happen to everyone. It doesn't bear thinking about.
To enable these moves, everything has to be packed into orange crates which are rented by the day. If it's not crated, it doesn't go. You can recognise corpy workers easily.... they're the ones traipsing around town carrying coat stands, pedestal fans and anything else that won't fit in an orange crate. With a rather lost, faraway look in the eyes.
Oh well, I guess I'd better get on with it.

Yes, get on with it ;-)
In five years with Amazon I have migrated from the 5th floor to the 3rd floor to the 1st floor.
I think it's called gravity.

I think that shiftingh is the great mans way of making you think that you are on holiday... hence the saying "A change is as good as a holiday"

I don't know Blast, my muscles don't feel like they've been on holiday hehe
Gerald, do you think they might just be considering your legs as you get older ;-)
