And now...

...I have my own office.  After spending close to five years locked in an office with DataGuy, I found a way out.

Oh, yes, Bill can be Machiavellian when he chooses to be.

Our sales girl, hereinafter referred to as SalesGirl, is a sweet kid and pretty good at what she does but she spends a good deal of time on MySpace...or texting on her cell phone...or talking to friends on the phone.  Since she came here she had her own office - really the only space that was available at the time - which gave her the freedom to do so. 

Personally, I think we've grown more - and explored the possiblity of growth more - than before she was here, but CFO's not taking a paycheck yet and doesn't see why she should if she's going to blow so much time.  He was talking about firing her.  That would have been bad.

So, I suggested to DataGuy (who is also SalesGuy), "Hey, why not move her in here?  I'll take the server room, and you can monitor what she does day to day."  Then I shut up, and let the seed take root.

So here I am, in my own dark quiet space.  My back is no longer to the door.  I've got a scented tart on the mug warmer, and I'm all by my lonesome.

It's strictly on a trial basis, I understand that.  I can't let my productivity slack off.  But the wheels turn slowly here, and maybe it'll be another five years.
