Crap, I gotta do better with date recording. Day 2 of 2nd cycle of LTU 5. (This is the correct one, remember that!)
A few interesting things to note.
1. Remember the moving? Well, my arguments have basically been accepted, and that we made easier one.
So basically here's the original setup.
one long desk
empty spot me
two small desks
gov employee conscript
Originally what was proposed was this remove that one long desk, transfer all the stuff on that long desk to two small desks (while bringing stuff on two small desks somewhere else, ), take that big table somewhere, and bring that two small desks forward.
So that end result would have been this
two small desks
conscript me
Given that it's just way too many unnecessary work, I proposed just taking that two desks away so that we don't have to move that one big desk at all. I also proposed leaving at least one desk, because a part-timer may come later, and in that situation we will need to bring out the desk again.
Well that argument was sorta accepted, which was interesting as my previous experience told me that it would not have been accepted. Yet, I didn't really have a feeling that it wasn't going to get accepted or get accepted. I just wanted to make an appeal, and I did. (Which I did yesterday), and the gov employee pressed quite hard, it seems. And the superior accepted.
Basically, it ended up as being this
partition wall
one long desk
conscript me
two small desks
Well, it wasn't all that great. we got crammed even more (as they told us to move back even further), had partition wall set up, which further isolated us, and there were other works that was given to us. For instance, we were asked to move a desk, which was fine and was never planned to move/replace. I and the conscript were given about 610 mail works to be ready to be shipped by tomorrow.
Terrible part? Doing all that work caused me to feel that inflammation pain again. Hopefully LTU's universal detox may help heal faster again.
So in all my proposal was sorta accepted, but did it lead to less work? It did, but I ended up getting more work, and lost whole a lot more space.
Another interesting thing to note is that I have become more vocal. For instance, when the conscript and I were alone and were coming down from moving the desk, I was telling him, well today was really like the gov workers created useless and needless work. I normally don't talk to anyone at work in the open, as I'd like to avoid any potential issues.
And, at the same time, I have become brighter? I was laughing to some stuff, which again is unusual for me at work as I normally try to hide all emotions and remain neutral at work. (Although I try to treat everyone with respect and kindness.) And two, there was a snack time today, and when we got in, I was saying how doing the work was causing pain in my arm. A gov employee told me that the mail work load that comes later (I guess it can be like a month or two away) is larger. We were eating sweets, and I told him, "this stuff just got bitter" after hearing that in a slightly joking manner. Then unexpected thing happened, which was that a female gov employee responded to that comment. (I don't know. I didn't expect her to react. She would have been the last person I expect to react to stuff like that.) Her response was probably best described by scoff/snort but not in a negative way. (At least it felt like it wasn't negative.)
Anyway, more need to be observed to see if things are turning more positive (i.e. easier work, more growth, and reduction of conscription, and etc) or turning more negative (i.e. becoming more isolated (which this moving actually physically made), more work (especially unnecessary/needless heavy lifting work), being treated worse, and etc.).
