Office Follies

The subject that wouldn't die (but really my life is pretty mellow otherwise and this is so much more interesting). The dish is now refered to around the office as Goldilocks. It fits because of both the dye bottle she uses and the chair that wasn't just right.

Now our beloved motherly admin is freaked out because Goldi's sugar daddy the exec-vp is giving her the evil eye. Of all the turmoil that this department has lived through this chickie is going to be the thing that brings the department down. The cheerful cartoon made by tech guy to memorialize the occasion is being hidden. Our department has always made cartoons about this kind of stuff. They are usually prominently displayed. One done about the princess and her parking foibles was passed around the bank. This one they are talking about shredding. I guess spoofing the big guy's mistress is verboten.

She was supposed to be in at mid-day today, but I guess she lost track of time because it's 3 and she isn't here. The poor web guy is beside himself. In a department this small (10 employees), particularly with this many new things going on you can feel the loss. If someone isn't doing their job it trickles down. I was supposed to pass some web work to her, but frankly she hasn't been in for me to give it to her.

The bossman will do nothing. She was brought in a favor to the EVP who he considers his buddy. The princess will do nothing because she truely has no power. No one will stand up to these people and this ridiculous situation. Which reminds me of a saying: Never mistake having a stick up your butt for having a backbone.
