Desk-Hopping
April 5th 2007 06:28
The second desk was the office junior's, which I took over when she took over someone else's desk - a person who was on sick leave.
This desk was much more roomy, the computer could be read at a decent distance without peering at it, and the chair was...okay. But it was close to the photocopier, and there was a constant bustle around it, which was good.
The third desk belongs to someone who's on leave. It's the old style wooden desk, as opposed to the new plastic models I'd been sitting at. It still had the guy's trays full of unattended papers on it, there was no computer at all, and one had to installed for me - an old feller that works, but looks as though it might have been floating around the building for some time, subbing like me.
I haven't been able to use the drawers; I had to find a tray to put stuff in, and there's nowhere to hang anything, including my jacket. It's opposite one of those glass doors that have a big gap down the sides so they can swing open. There was a similar one in the shop I used to run - when we were in the main street. Great gusts would blast through the gap and leave you freezing. Fortunately it's been pleasant weather over the last couple of weeks, and we've even had the door open at times because it's got so hot. I'm glad I'm not going to be sitting there in the winter, though.
Next week I move again, with a choice probably of either going back to the junior's desk (she's moved on for some reason unknown to us all) or another desk that was vacated today because the was boss has now gone. The place is shrinking.
