Business as Usual

On Tuesday afternoon last week, we were informed at work that we had to pack up the entire place by Friday for the movers to come first thing Saturday morning to move. We knew we were going to be moving sometime. But no one would ever tell us when. So this is how we find out. With three days notice. Nice. So the week was just nuts. Plus our whatever the hell he's called, department head or something, gave us this assignment that needed to be done TODAY (i think that was on Thursday) and he needed it by noon. So one of my co-workers was trying to relay the fact that we had a mere two days left to pack up our ENTIRE place and we'd get to it IF we could. Well no, he wouldn't have that. This is a priority. The city council needed it NOW for some dumb ass reason. And he told us that we should put everything else aside and do that because we should be operating "business as usual." Bull Crap!! goddamm! so then our direct supervisor called our head's supervisor and talked to him about this and tried to explain the situation to him. Turns out that our head was sitting on this project for about a week and just gave it to us on the day he needed to turn it back in. AND that we didn't need all that info that our head said he needed from us. It actually turned out to be a fairly easy assignment, but holy crap!! our head is one big idiot. Total pointy haired boss. So our stuff got moved this weekend. Mostly. Cuz the building we are supposed to be going into isn't ready yet. So we're going to be transplanted into one of the other division's offices until it is ready. My coworker and I will have to share an office AND ONE PHONE. NO internet. So our desks and computers aren't actually moving until tomorrow since we have to do that ourselves. At least our bill for the moving company won't be as much since they aren't going to be moving all that they thought they were going to. But eeegads, this is totally going to suck. I mean, me and A are good friends and all, but sharing an office is a Totally different story! HAHAHA!!!
