First world problems here.

It's my homeless week at work. Someone's using my workspace today so I can't settle down there early and I've had to move rooms twice already just to have my "breakfast".

Also missed out on car parking today so I've had to park down the street, really sucks having to haul my stuff because I don't have anywhere secure to keep this stuff week to week.

Anyway tired and grumpy so far.

I can somewhat understand employers wanting employees to work together in the office, but I can't understand how they don't realise that means they need to provide usable office space for everyone.

Poor planning or not enough forethought, anyway space is being used at the moment so I have some extra downtime for an extra 15 mins.

Sharing desks isn't fun, Hot-desking is even worse. How these morons can be all OH&S workstation assessments to the eleventy and simultaneously zip tie all the mice to the right is beyond me.

It's sucky, I do have a space but it's been used and taken over since 7:50am so I can't even set up my stuff. I'm in another room now just playing on my phone, I don't want to unload work and stuff only to pack it all up again and move and unpack.

Bad enough I have to carry all my stationary with me.

I'm milking this!
