Office Politics

Office politics - every place has them. We have a man in our office who is retiring... IN APRIL. But he's decided to start packing now. The down side of this is that he constantly tries to pass down many years of accumulated junk to the rest of us. "I'm not sure if this will ever come in handy, but you might be able to use it." You know the drill. Unfortunately, I work in a tech company, so anything that is more than 10 minutes old is worthless. The other thing he's decided to do is give up his corner office early and magnanimously move to a cubicle. Trouble is, he's moving to MY cubicle and I'm not in the chain of those who are progressing to a better office space (I'm only a consultant). So I found a free conference table and squeezed myself in amongst the other four temporary consultants. We're only here for another two weeks. You think he could have waited to make his move?????
