Wagons Roll!!
Well we're in, finally, our new offices that is. And what an awful hovel it is too. By the end of yesterday, we were all filthy dirty; cut to ribbons and sporting various strains, aches and pains from humping orange crates around for the last three days.
The usual IT catastrophes are happening. I've been linked up to a printer at the far end of the office that I swear is in a different time zone (or postcode at least). The first few times I phoned my manager and asked him to get my printing he thought it was hilarious but it's starting to wear a bit thin now.
This, by the way, is the building my mum works in. The one that was flooded with raw sewage a few weeks ago! Property Services have assured us the rumours about mice and other vermin are unfounded but the presence of several strategically placed bait traps around the place isn't convincing anyone.
The particularly paranoid contingent have also decided that the carpet is alive with fleas. Three of them claim to have been bitten while rummaging about under desks plugging in phones. Just after lunch yesterday one of them thrust a finger in my face with a small dark object stuck to it and asked "has that got legs?"
"No Max," I replied "it's a chive!"
I guess these rumours will persist until they eventually send someone in to hose us all down. Again!
The really stupid part about it all is that our senior manager has assured us we will be here for seven weeks at the outside. Seven weeks and we have to do it all again.
They really should have issued us with tents.
