I was peeved when I went to Bally’s around lunch time. I was hoping to take my regular steam bath, swim a few laps in the pool, and then take a nap. I love my job.

So anyway, I get there and all seven lounge chairs are full. Most of the time there is nobody laying around in the pool area. But today, all the loungers were full. Where was I going to nap? Don’t the people have jobs? And only two of the people in the loungers were resting. The rest were reading newspapers. Hey, take your newspapers out to the lobby and read them. This is the warm and humid pool area where people can lounge and relax. So anyway, I spend some extra time in the sauna after the steam room and the pool. And finally the loungers clear out. So I get my rolled up towel pillow, and pick one out. I’m getting all nice and comfy when this cold drop of water splashed on my forehead. I look up at the ceiling. The roof is covered in water drops from all the humidity. So I still try and get my nap, which I did for the most part. The water drops from the ceiling only fell occasionally. But the really cold ones had an awakening effect when they hit me in the face.

Needless to say, I’ve had better days.

It seems everyone from the part of the office I work in is leaving. I should explain a bit…I work for one particular department, lets call it IT. But I sit in part of the building that houses another department. Don’t ask me way - it was a combination of office politics and stupidity. It almost had me looking for employment elsewhere. But my job is most cushy, so I’m sticking it out.

Anyway, in January the department manager and one analyst left. In February another analyst left, one that had been here for like 10 years. In March another long time analyst left. I’ve heard today that another had given his notice that he’s leaving. And the lead support staff person, who’s been here like 20 years is leaving. They have since hired a new department manager, one analyst, and an administrative assistant. And I understand they have offers out to two other candidates. There are going to be lots of new faces around here.
