Office shenanigans
I got here, and I was assigned office A. Just before classes began, I
went to meet the grad students already in office A, and was promptly
reassigned to office B. Office B had been empty
(owned by another department, actually) but would have two first-years
in it, with a third to join in the spring.
So, we moved in, moved stuff around, asked for our phone to be attached,
put things on the walls, etc.
That was last week. This week we learn that we’ll be moved
out to make room for departmental administration, probably in the
third week of September. (It might seem unusual to put staff in a
tiny office previously allocated to three graduate students, but you
can fit four grad students in the staff offices. Spin, spin.
Keep the plates in the air!)
So, I’ll be moving out soon. At least, that’s what I told the IT guy
today when he stopped by to connect our phone.
