Partnership Space

The new Grant Writer begins her job this coming Monday (the 27th). Since the announcement of her start with the Partnership, I was told three times yesterday and once today (by one of the people who told me yesterday) that she would be moving into "my" office, a subject they feel is touchy, apparently.

This has amused me no end. The conversation has gone like this each time:

Them: "So, the new Grant Writer starts on Monday..."
Me: "Oh, excellent! We were in real need, huh?"
Them: "Yeah..." More quietly and less-forward, "She's going to have this office, so if you could..." Me: "Oh, of course! I'll tidy it up and have it ready for her by Friday's end."
Them: "Great." [moves along]

Did you ever watch Office Space? Well, the recent conversations have reminded me of this movie, especially a sound bite found on this page called, "You need to move to storage."

No end, I tell ya.
