Run!...Run Away!...As Fast As You Can!

Officius Horribilus was loose in the workplace today and the only way to survive was to run as fast and as far away as possible. What a mess! Just a sample: Our staff is depressed; very depressed. We don't have a plan. We don't have management. We keep stepping on our extremities when we try to move forward. People are giving up and accepting that they are probably going to be laid off. So what does the Acting Interim Executive Director do today? Without telling anyone, she loaned our biggest and newest conference room to the HR department for their lunchtime party and meeting! Can you imagine how depressing it is to come out of a departmental staff meeting where for 2 hours only bad news has been discussed, and then to see merry-makers, with excellent food, good conversation, and obvious conviviality overflowing "our" conference room? It is very depressing, in case you did not guess. What a jerk the Acting Interim Executive Director is.

Enough of that. I am on the road for 4 days starting tomorrow.
