well, this week has been surprisingly busy with me applying for new jobs, designing some new joinery at home and, oh ja, i specified some products for the one work related job.
so thankfully its friday - and on fridays its plainly obvious that everyone here hates their jobs, cos the minute (and by minute i actually mean second) 16:30:00 ticks over the whole office is outta here and squeezed into the same lift again. Only difference is everyone is super chirpy with jokes and giggles, everyone is SO happy to leave.
so the question is how long will i last - either i will find something else - or I will be fairly dismissed. I am trying my best to avoid the latter, but the interweb is so tempting and having all this spare time makes it so easy to arrange private things. One day i might even be tempted to walk in here WITH MY EARPHONES ON!!!! That would probably seal the deal. Or maybe ill drink out of one of ma'ams cups - or take a sip of her milk (actually i already did this. We ran out of milk on the 19th of the month and apparently petty cash too, so no more milk for the staff - only for ma'am).

tuesday
ja, so, whats new from today than any other day. i got in 5mins after 8am so im sure my name is in the red book or black book, whatever.
ma'am had arranged a meeting for 11:30 so i had (as usual) more than enough time to complete my work. obviously at 10am i realized the printer didn't work, and after the IT guy fixed (the minute i mentioned meeting with ma'am, he was here in 5minutes)it it was 11:25 - which proved to be enough time to print my 2000sqm building on A4's.
time now 14:05 and the meeting has not happened yet. ma'am just didn't arrive. not surprised.
would love to make a ricoffee, but we ran out of milk this morning (haha, i even stole the remainder of ma'am's milk) and ma'am thinks we drank the milk up too soon, so there is no money for more milk. doesn't really bother me cos i will just pop down to the coffee shop downstairs and grab one. its not like i don't have time...i only have time, time is being wasted on zooming in, zooming out, changing views, chewing pulses.
next time.

thursday
the reason i had nothing to say until now is i managed to complete an entire tender document during work hours and the courier has just come to pick it up. now thats efficiency.
since all of my private work is finished for the day - i officially am bored. no work. none. instead of my bum getting numb on this chair i think i will climb down and then up the 8 flights of stairs to get a head start on my gym program for the day.
one of the many wierd things of this office is the 'memo' system. we have a template on which you write whatever you need to ask ma'am, print this, stick it into the memo file and hand it to the receptionist - you then wait for about an hour or 2 until the response gets delivered to your desk. have you ever heard about email?
time for some stair climbing.

monday
so i waltz in here on monday, just in time for the receptionist to mark me off for an 8am sharp arrival, i put my stuff down at my desk and make coffee. when i go back to my desk i find all my books/diaries missing. Lo behold, my desk has been moved again. so i walked around the half empty open plan office until i located my stuff. so this is where i sit for the moment. this is the 5th time in 4 weeks my desk has been relocated without my knowledge by the secret night leprechaun(spelling)the reason baffles me.
since i dont' have much to do i get up 10 minutes early to have lunch. on my return i find ive been emailed that there will be no eating lunch before or after you actually take lunch. sigh.
the day passes with me doing sortof something, kindof nothing and at 5pm sharp, the whole office gets up and marches out. all of us in the same lift. not a minute later. yes, its that bad.
