25 June
Things have really been strange round the office these days.
In the past month something like six people have been fired, including a couple of people that I really like. Honestly, every time you turn around these days someone is being escorted from the building and their picture is posted at the front desk.
When my favourite Indian MRS guy was bagged on Tuesday, I turned to The Raccoon and said "Who's next, you or me?" and she said "If you go, I go!" and I, somewhat touched, said "Really? I'll hold you to that!"
And she said "Yeah, I'm not doing those POs!"
Yesterday in the middle of the day the Evil Overlord stuck her head in our office and said:
"Kymm, can I talk to you for a minute?"
So I followed her out of our room and down the hall and past her cubicle and I'm feeling nervous and we go past Linus' office and my heart is pounding and she goes into the office of the head of Human Resources and all I taste is metal.
But Anne wasn't in there, and the Evil Overlord turned to me and saw the look on my face and said "O no, you're not being promoted or fired or anything, I just wanted to talk to you and this office was free!"
I told her "Don't do that when so many people have been fired lately! I practically had a heart attack!"
All she wanted to tell me is that I'm getting too much email and crashing the server, so I said that I'd unsub from my mailing lists and that was that. But the terror was intense.
The Evil Overlord did a funny thing the other day.
She was on the phone on a personal call and I went into her cubicle to get some checks and she lowered her voice and started to whisper.
Which would have made sense, except that she was speaking in Chinese! She could have screamed her call and still had absolute privacy.
What the fuck are Board Shorts?
Today's horoscope:
You're feeling a bit sensitive today. A little extra privacy could work wonders. Protect your time alone.

Clearly, I am such a terrible employee that the lab bit me!
