Over the last month or so, the floor at work has been vibrating frequently through-out the day. The floor has always vibrated when someone walked heavily by or jumped around but it's never been this bad. It'll vibrate enough to make my monitor shake and all I can feel is the vibrations going right through me. It's bad enough that you can actually SEE my hair and clothes shaking somewhat.
As the month has gone by, the vibrations have gradually gotten worse. I've been getting headaches over the last while that are caused by these vibrations. Today, it was so bad that I got sort of nauseous and my friend commented that my face looked pretty blue in color. When the floor shakes like this, I can't concentrate easily. The longer the period of vibrations, the more of a headache I get and the less I can focus. My output has gone down so much over the last couple weeks.
I'm pretty vocal about how much I hate the floor vibrations too. So much so that I worry that I might be coming across as being too whiny about it because I rarely hear anyone else complaining to our bosses about it. I know everyone else who has to put up with these vibrations are just as pissed off and frustrated about it as I am. And at least two of my bosses are pretty sympathetic toward me.
What really bothers me is that it seems like no one really cares to actually do anything about it. One of the highest people in the company has known about the problem nearly since it began and she said she'd get someone to look into it but no one has. Today, the highest person in the Interactive division found out about and experienced the vibrations and said he'd bring someone over soon. Hopefully he actually will. My boss also brought some of the head IT guys over, who just looked at us as if we were crazy because the vibrations had stopped when they were there. -_-
So yeah, I'm at the point where I'm incredibly frustrated. I hate having a headache at the end of the day. I hate not being able to get my usual amount of work done in the afternoons. I hate everything about it and there's absolutely nothing I can do except continue to complain.
Sigh.
floor vibrations,
sick,
