Our office is having yet another rather dramatic move around, my 5th since moving to this building 2 years ago. I think it’s because management like to amuse themselves watching people walking into the wrong bay in the weeks following the move, I know I enjoy that.
Personally I like moving desk, it’s a great chance to declutter, make new friends and get an entirely new perspective. For example I’ll now be sitting next to a new guy and as for perspective I’ll now be looking at the back of my boyfriend’s head, as opposed to him looking at the back of my head…
I think we’d both prefer to be on opposite sides of the room, but what can you do? The good news is that although we work in the same department we don’t really work together.
Imagine how awkward (not to mention inappropriate) it would be if one of us were the boss of the other:
Me: Could you just run those financials for me before my 3pm meeting?
Him: Make me…
Or alternatively:
Him: Could you just fetch those printouts from the printer for me.
Me: What are your hands – painted on?
It just wouldn’t work would it.
