workaday Wednesday
Sep. 17th, 2025 06:37 amIt's time for the (kind of) annual 'workplace says everyone (really everyone this time) (unless you have a good excuse) has to show up and socialize for a day' experience. Since the New Building is new, the meeting is there, which is at least convenient.
There's only sort of space for everyone inside, so they've compensated by also setting up some big event-type tents outside (mostly for eating, probably so people don't try to eat in the brand new Big Meeting Hall space).
But instead of using any of the actual lawn area for the tents (it's weird to have office lawn space, I know, but this building does, for some reason?), they've set up the tents IN THE PARKING LOT. WHERE THE CARS GO.
Sooooooooo now there's not enough parking? Like, there wouldn't have been enough parking anyway, with everyone showing up, but now there's REALLY not enough parking. WHY???????
[Plus side: today's schedule includes a lot of free food.]
