Quick thinking by Mr Denali and commonsense approach.

Better outcome than a client of my wife's employer (a criminal lawyer), whose malfunction had him in Court charged with wilful exposure, paedophilia etc.

Another restructure at work but this time we've gone 7 months.

Most will have to move desks again. Oh and productivity is not going to increase.

I thought you hot-desked?

Im one of the few lucky ones, I have a very large cubical area with a 34" monitor so Ive built myself a bunker.

We're going to remodel soon,create some stand up hot desks and open up some space.

Ha. I said some stand up hot desks, more for roaming staff that are cubical-less or for quick group discussions, not for someone to stand at all day.

We do have stand up meetings during our very stressful end of year month, they are very effective and short.

 

[Quickstatus]

Our secretaries are getting dual computer screens.

Stand up meetings should be the norm as it tends to keep it short and sweet

 

[Denali]

Lots of people use dual screens here. Hubby has a 48" monitor.

I use a dual screen, makes my job easier.

They have knocked down meeting rooms to build desks closer together like the production lines of the 50's.

I thought you hot-desked?

No. Hot desks are for project teams. I do support.

I've sort of grown used to current desk. Relatively quiet not a lot of visible passing traffic.

Why oh why do we need to keep moving people around? It really isn't productive.

Daughter's area has done away with all cubicles except for SES (who have an office). They also are trialling a bit of hot desking which will be interesting. She is not convinced it will work. As It is she is now working from home one day a week as part of their new flexibility drive.

Interesting for South Australia
Nick Xenophon to quit federal politics for 'do or die' effort back home

We don't have cubicles. Rows of desks with a little privacy although not much.

The new designs have a continous line of desks (no separation) with people sitting close together. That's fantastic if you like noise all around you. I don't and I can't wear headphones all day.

I think they are saying, John, it's time to retire. I'm barely hanging on right now.

I laughed when I read that link with Christopher Pyne saying Xenophon was just a big ego.As they say in the classics-takes one to know one.

 

[whatmeworry]

After that AFF's story in school about Pyne, whenever I see Chris Pyne's face, in my mind a little voice says "Shutup Pyne".

Nice little storm passing through Brisbane the past few hours. Got wet but not as badly wet had I left apartment 15 minutes later. Was trying to make earlier train and just failed but missed the majority of the storm.

Happy to give these a try... Personally I hate fruit cake and we never had it growing up.

If you are a Christmas pudding hater, this might be the dessert for you

One bad thing about getting to airport early. Eat too much.

Just as well I gave up alcohol....
