I Really Dont Understand Why It Is That The Counselors Wait Until I Am On My Lunch Before They Suddenly

I really don’t understand why it is that the counselors wait until I am on my lunch before they suddenly start spamming me with emails needing this, that, and the other thing, and coming into my office demanding I do something or look for a file for them (because walking a whole extra foot to the damned filing cabinets behind me is so hard), or whatever else it is that they suddenly need me for OMG RIGHT THIS MINUTE. And they are always surprised I’m on lunch. 

Uh, guys? I’ve had the same lunch schedule since I started here. They also get the same answer, every time they come for me: “I’m on lunch. Can this wait?” and 99% of the time, it can. Or it can be handled by someone who isn’t on lunch.

It doesn’t matter if I eat in my office or in the break room. If I am somewhere in our office suite, someone (or more likely, multiple someones) will hunt me down and want me to work while on lunch (but gods forbid someone ask them to work on their lunch hour *grumble*). I’m starting to think that, despite the heat, I need to find somewhere outside the office suite to eat my lunch. I may always tell them ‘no’ and follow through, but I’m still really tired of having my break interrupted every few minutes.

...Actually, now that I think about it, the counselors go straight for whichever one of us is actually on lunch, even if it means completely bypassing the admin person who is CLEARLY available to get to the one on lunch.

It Only Took Me About 5 Hours, And I Think I Did Pretty Damned Good. My Yona Wig Is Styled! And Since

It only took me about 5 hours, and I think I did pretty damned good. My Yona wig is styled! And since I have to be up in about 6 hours, its time to clean up and call it a night. I didn’t get to the dress or vest, but the wig is done, so at least I’m on track. Dress sleeves and vest are on the schedule for tomorrow. I also have never been more grateful for the existance of thinning shears than I was tonight. This wig lost a good 4 inches and the shears saved me a lot of time smoothing out the blunt cut.

My Boss Is On Vacation, And My Supervisor/office Mate And I Were Bored, So Mischief Ensued. His Couch

My boss is on vacation, and my supervisor/office mate and I were bored, so mischief ensued. His couch has been removed from his office and replaced with a '404 Couch Not Found' sign. And the couch is now in the training coordinator's office (she's on vacation, too). We'll see how long it takes him to notice.
