So frustrated at work. They're wanting to move our copy shop and showroom downstairs to the main floor, for better exposure and traffic. Which means having to redo the entire floorplan to make sure everything fits. One of the owners and I come up with a brilliant layout for one side of the building, and it's great. Everything fits, plenty of office space, noisy machines are out of the way. The other owner promptly shuts it down and keeps trying to squeeze us into a space 2/3 the size of what we're in now. I've drawn up a floorplan for his idea FOUR TIMES now and he keeps finding things wrong with it. He says shoot for about 18' wide, we measure the existing floor layout and it's 18'4", I manage to get 18'8" and that's the best I can do with what we have.
And that's not good enough, he wants to shave another 14" off now. This is not like packing a semi truck with x amount of cubic space, you have to allow room for doors to open, trays to extend, etc. But nothing's ever quite good enough. I've about had it. He doesn't understand why certain things have to be next to each other, or why it's a bad idea to put the noisy paper folder clear on the other side of the store so you have to actually LEAVE the copy shop to go use it.
I am seriously so close to throwing in the towel. I've had it. I used to take a lot of pride in what I do, but now it's hard for me to even care anymore. We're stuck with junky vehicles that are always breaking down or just don't work, I'm waiting now over 2 years for a freight elevator that we can actually fit our freight on, on and on it goes, if it's for our department it's automatically sent to the back burner.
I used to love working here, and love this town, now it feels like everyone wishes I would just quietly go away.
I just may.
