Coworkers

Can’t work with them, sometimes can’t work without them.

I’m actually happy after all the inconveniences they’ve put us through here at the office, and all the moving, with where I’ve finally ended up. It’s been a long time since they took my office away from me and relocated me to a cubicle. And after some growing pains, and language warnings, I’ve finally settled into my latest home on the 3rd floor. And the group of people that I call my cube neighbors that I’ve ended up with are pretty fun.

And of all the places they’ve put me, I think I get along with this group better than the rest. Interesting cross cube conversations, constant joking around, and shared music interests have made it someone nice to be at work on most days. But the work has actually become more difficult as of late.

We have one person here that prides themselves on making everything as difficult as possible. And because of this, all projects stall once with them. So the amount of energy it takes me now to finish a project has drastically increased, while the quantity of new titles has decreased. I’m in an almost daily war to get things done, and somehow keep my clients happy, and really I’m stuck in the middle.

I am the “ME” in TEAM. But at least my cube neighbors (who don’t work in my department) try to keep the rest of the office environment pretty light. It helps.
