Monday 4 January
First day back after Christmas so everyone is in the office. Luckily I get in early and bag a desk. Pleased to see that our manager comes in later and doesn't get either a desk or a seat. Serves him right for casually going along with such a stupid idea.
One of the executive directors comes past and asks him how everything is going. "Fine," he says, "it's all going smoothly". I shake my head sadly from side to side. "What's the problem?" says executive director. "Everything!" I say. "Oh that's just Tim", says manager, "he's negative about most things". The latter statement is, of course, total slander. I usually like to take a positive stance on life, but it's very difficult to be optimistic about a total disaster!
I survive until lunchtime and then go home. The noise is intolerable. From now on the new office will be referred to as "The Chicken Shed".
