At work, our department consists of two sections - let's call one of them the "VIP section" (it's really another three-letter-abbreviation, but "VIP" is apt). They are (relatively) new, and oh so horribly important that they get new personnel all the time (despite the fact that they, legally, don't have the right to do half the work they try to distinguish themselves with), plus they pushed through the installation of a keycard-locked door separating their Very Important section from us peons (which, incidentally, means that we women have no longer access to the women's toilet on this level which is on their side of the hallway).

Anyway, this morning my colleague and I were working at our desks like always when suddenly, a troop of three VIP colleagues crowded into our office and loudly started to divvy up the room ("This is where I'll put my desk, and your filing cabinet goes there..." and whatnot). We were flabbergasted.

Turns out the VIP section is getting new personnel (again), and of course their "secure area" doesn't have enough room anymore (despite the fact that we moved into this building - what? Just three months ago.), and so they have to expand into our side of the hallway now. The decision was made sometime last week, but a few people up the ladder still have to agree, so it's not been made official. In fact, the section heads have been asked to keep it to themselves for the time being. Well, I guess the VIP head screwed that up.

We're to move about eight offices down the hallway into a smaller room that's right now serving as a storage area. The office is smaller, but still okay, room-wise. I'm just pissed at having to pack up all our files, other stuff, computers etc. and move yet again.

Always so nice to learn something like this from three vultures showing up to pick clean a corpse that's not even dead yet.
