I got kicked out of my office
-
...and moved to the conference room where I work. I kind of like it here, but I miss my desk drawers. And my desk phone. And my desk.

Don't pnanic! Don't panic! I am sure there is a rational explanation to this. First check if you still have network access and see if your company login still works? Check to make sure you are still on the organizational chart, are you?

First step to the chicken feet job. I once had to code in a hallway in Penang. Admittedly it was a wide hall with a line of desks down one side but it was designed as a hall. Bare concrete and passing traffic.

In 2000, the largest candle manufacturer in the states (for whom I worked) hired 9 expensive contractors to help them change over their entire inventory system. I believe they billed about $75,000 @ week plus per diem for the group. Because they wanted to work four nine-hour days and only a half day on Fridays (they all lived out of state) the angry head of IT (he liked holding meetings on Friday afternoon) gave them desks in a large open space (walls of chicken mesh) over the manufacturing area, complete with wax residue and strong perfume in the air. Except for the contractors, all IT employees in that building were in sealed offices. (I ran an air filter in mine, just to get rid of what slipped in whenever the door was opened.)

And didn't he get some quality work. I have real trouble with companies who hire expensive contractors, don't have equipment ready for them to work with, and treat them like crap. These people are idiots.:mad: OT one of the best contracts I had was in the UK, max of 35.5 hrs per week and they let me average it over the month. I had 1-2 long weekends each month:laugh:

That describe him to a T. He also went on vacation (because "it had been planned that way") for two weeks just before rollout. He returned to work less than 48 hours before we were supposed to go live. Amazingly enough, he was short and bald except for a tuft of black hair that pointed outwards above each ear. (I swear it.)
