The chairs update

Sometime between my posts a bunch of boss creatures appeared in the office, demanding to see the chairs in the back room. Some confusion ensued when they discovered that all the chairs are in red leather, instead of just the boss-intended ones. After this, some other people arrived and took all the chairs into the hallway in front of our office. One of my bosses appeared, and decided to take as many chairs as we needed for our office, and paperwork be damned (a sure sign that this particular boss is close to retirement). The others are still in the hallway in front of our office, and, I suppose, they still don't officially exist.

More Office Space

As you might have gathered, the organization of which I am a small and insignificant part, is not really known for its great management. For example, I work in an office of about 12 people, 3 computers, 4 desks and exactly 3 chairs. Whoever arrives earliest grabs the free chair, while the rest of the bunch then dejectedly wander around the office, pretending to work. This is, understandably, quite difficult, since most of their work requires computers. Some of the more adventurous go out for coffee, but that means confronting the infamous door problem, and because of the positioning of the coffee machines, braving the accidental encounters with the boss subclass*. This is to be avoided at all costs, since all the bosses have chairs, and thus suppose that everyone else has them too, and therefore that everyone else should be working and not drinking coffee. Needless to say, most of the bosses come from Crotoboltavia.

If you think that this situation is absurd, heh, you also need to know that my office has a small storage room at the back. This storage room is completely filled with expensive looking red leather chairs. Of course, we are not allowed to use them, since they arrived without anyone signing any papers, and therefore, they do not exist.

*Boss subclass is also recognized by their more expensive but less well tailored suits and mirror glasses with expensive writing on them.
