Different Point of View + Part Time Conundrums

As some of you know, I have been influenced by the thoughts and actions of a brother that I so closely work with. For the full story, click here.

I want to set the record straight and say that no one influences my thoughts and actions. I am my own self. So as you know, I was forced to volunteer to move my work space in the office. This is because of the attitude and apparent influences of Brian. I left work for the holiday weekend feeling demoted by my superior. After spending a good part of the afternoon here in my new space, I feel refreshed and rejuvenated. I think that this has to do with the fresh air that I am breathing right now. Until now, I have been regularly inhaling strange odors emanating from Brian's body. Those odors, I'm sure, were killing my brain cells and diluting my capacity to fulfill my responsibilities for which I was hired at my current place of employment.

*Note: The surrounding work area is smaller than it is made out to be. I am still only a couple of cubicles away from Brian so it's really not that big of a deal and almost not worth blogging about, but here we; spending the time to write this blog post and for you to read it.

On a more serious note. I had been thinking about going to a part-time status here at my place of employment. I definitely brought it up in the wrong way with by supervisor because he said that it was absolutely not possible that I do that. I thought that it may be possible because there were couple of other guys in my department that had recently. My supervisors reasoning is that going part-time is on a "case-by-case" basis. I asked him what that meant and he said that it was at "his discretion". I interpreted that as favoritism. This really seemed to bug me. I was able to calm down over an awesome weekend and I have formulated a plan to not be here that much longer.
