The Painters Hole

Well as you have read before I was in between a rock and a hard place when it came to dealing with the facilities manager. I had gotten moved posts which was fine with me, because I wasn't in his direct line of sight anymore.

Well I was talking with one of the painters one day who also had problems with the facilities manager and told me about his paint storage room. He showed it to me and it was out of the way. No one else had a key to it. It was perfect.

I probably spent months in that place. And wouldn't you believe it. I all of a sudden started getting compliments from the facilities manager telling me how I am doing such a better job now.

Which I always thought was hilarious, but couldn't say a word. And if I got a call on the radio it was fine because I could just run out of there and be wherever I needed to be, but since no one ever wanted me for anything then I never got a call on the radio which was perfect as well.

What would I do for 8 hours a day in a little room you ask? Well I found ways to keep me busy. I was able to start taking naps after lunch again. I thought those days were gone after kindergarten. I would read books, but I don't have many books so I went through those pretty quick.

Then I went old school. And funny enough this little thing is what probably allowed to me to keep my job. I brought in my Old Game boy. I bought some new games for it, and all I did for months was play video games at work. And I was getting COMPLIMENTED FOR IT.

So if you have the means then this is one great way to deal with a boss. Just undermine him every chance you get without him knowing about it. LOL

Here’s another great article about funky, non-traditional office buildings, including Apple’s new space in CA. Could we transfer our office cubicles to any of these cool spots
