Not a happy camper!

What can I say... having a week off after New Year's made me feel spoiled.
Clearly someone in charge thought I needed to be brought back to earth pronto. Fear not, this happened within the first 20 minutes of my being back on the job today!

Aside from the fact that this whole 'transformation' business at work means changing everything (including moving managers around, splitting up teams and generally confusing the f*** out of everybody because nothing was thought through properly), I received an email from a colleague, who must've been CLEARLY bored out of his friggin mind.

He proceeded to present his new 'plans' of changing the seating in the office, to "change things up for 2011". This saw EVERYONE being moved about into different cubicles in the massive open plan area.
I, for one, like where I'm sitting. I'm facing a big wall of windows with a constant view of the sky and other outside goings on. I'm in closest vicinity to my four colleagues in my product team and I'm far enough away from the kitchen area to not be disturbed by the constant noise of the big screen TV having BBC News running non-stop. I have also spent a considerable amount of time cleaning my entire desk properly and keeping it clean, unlike all other male colleagues inhabiting all other desks. The thought of sitting at someone else's 'never been cleaned since the dark ages' desk, gives me the heebee-jeebies!!!!! You have NO idea what kind of disgustingtons I have for colleagues. Honest.

Thankfully, it seems nobody wants this change and whilst I have been the most vocal about it, others have also spoken out and I will keep my fingers crossed that nothing changes.

And just in case it does, I have already decided for myself that I won't bother going into the office anymore. If you're going to take away my manager, my team, my desk and my blue (or grey) sky - you can stick it where the sun don't shine. This is one game I'm not willing to play.
