Have you ANY idea how depressing it is to sit at your desk for an entire day and not see ONE SINGLE attractive woman walk past!
Meh.

Smoking in the "memorial garden"
@ 2009-06-08 – 13:24:48
A slight exageration I feel.
Seeing as the "memorial garden" is a small paved area without any greenery at all, surrounded on three sides by high brick walls (one being the back of the office) and the forth a high fence with a fire exit door in it that leads to an narrow allyway at the back of the italian restaurant in the high street.
Trades descriptions act?
Lovin this building so far.................

Same shit, different location.

I find it totally un-surprising the Weird Inc has managed to carry out our little office move so badly.
I arrive in the new area and wander along from the tube station; it is quite groovy with some interesting looking restaurants. After a while I turn off the high road, and wander down a pretty side street lined with Georgian town houses…then there is the gateway to a typical Weird Inc Shite hole.
Oh well.
I approach and notice in reception that there are many notices about security and vigilance. I notice these through the firmly shut glass doors, as I can’t get in due to there being no one on the desk. Also I don’t have the right swipe card to operate the lock. They have said that we will be given those at 11 this morning, I suppose if we have passed the test of being able to get in without the right pass we are worthy of having one.
Eventually I get in by following two people in flashing my ID at them and shrugging “just started here today...” “Ah right”
The room they have put us in is not exactly nice. All the pc have been mixed up with different monitors and there are only four chairs in the room. About 10 people are expected to be here. Planning huh?
There are totally useless items of furniture around like busted roll front cabinets and cupboards with big padlocks on the doors….but no backs in them.
The desks are stained and dusty and have definitely seen better days. Those that have pedestals find them locked and there are no keys.
And not one phone, which is actually a bonus.
So I am going out now to try and find something to eat (yes the canteen does not even do any rolls in the morning so it’s a fry up or crisps for brekkie!) and considering the lack of interest in allowing people in or out of the building…..I may be gone for some time. .
