There's this thing with the AC, for instance. We have one of those basic AC units like the one you might have in your living room. Except that we use ours to cool up the office. It isn't enough though. You still feel hot and muggy. Besides that, bosslady gets chilly every two hours and shuts off the AC for half an hour. I know she's not cold. It's impossible. So I am assuming that she just wants to save on the electric bill.
Within that half hour the office starts to feel like a furnace. She also wants the door closed at all times, so you can forget about air circulation.
I don't know if people are afraid of being fired or what or maybe I'm pre-menopausal, but no one will say anything about the AC. I'm the only one that complains about how hot it gets. Yesterday I was sweating so much that my hands were getting stuck on our magazine pages. My feet were sweating so badly that I could barely walk in my flip flops. Finally having had enough I asked if I could turn on the AC. Do you know what the temperature was like in the office??? 84 degrees! For Pete's sake, I'll pay your ConEd bill; just leave the AC alone. I even offered to give Bosslady my sweater, seriously.
Besides that there's the supplies issue. Did you know that they didn't want to buy labels so we had to type up labels on Word and print out the sheet and cut and paste them to every page, of every textbook, for 5 Grades? And then we didn't have enough scissors, so we had to share three scissors between the 7 of us...oh jeez.
Days like these I miss the Astoria office. I miss my desk in front of the window, I miss the cold summers inside the office, and I miss our unlimited supplies, as well as my order-whatever-you-need pass from Staples. (I use to order all those expensive pens...*sigh). And even though it has nothing to do with this post, I miss my Cuban coffee =).
