That went well
So, I’m tired and aching and I’m feeling a little bit like I’m coming down with a cold. But this is the first time in a long time that I’ve been able to find time to sit down and write an update.
The coffee thing has been kind of a mixed success, stress levels in the office are down about as far as they can go, but so is productivity as well. People think they’re giving better care, but no-one can quite cope with their workloads. Management are considering starting a hiring round, which would be the first time we’ve increased the size of the office in a while and there’s talk of where all the new people will go. Human resources reckon we’ve got enough room, facilities have decided we’ll need a stack of new offices and everyone’s been ordered to tidy up and cut down on the amount of space they’re using.
I’m finding all of this quite weird. Because I distinctly remember that the last time we did this I came to work one day and the inside of the office had simply doubled in size compared to the outside. But we’re being weaned off divine intervention apparently, so it’s proper “earth like” management techniques for us. They’re even talking of relocating the office to earth itself, because that would cut down quite dramatically on travelling expenses (at the cost of heavily increased commuting costs, but as money for that comes out of a separate pot no-one seems to mind).
Still the I’ve finally started coping with the workload so I may have more chances to keep this up to date now. We shall have to see what the future holds. I can’t believe it’s been over a year since I updated this diary.
I’ve started a twitter feed which I’m finding much easier to keep up to date – so you can keep tabs on my daily activities on a much more intimate level. You lucky lucky things…
