Kind a silly I know


Okay so at work there are two office chairs assigned to the front desk. One for the receptionist and one for the night security. Well the security guards like the receptionist chair better. Although in my opinion, I think their chair is much more cushy and conducive to sleeping on the job which they do.

Nevertheless, they use my chair. Well overall I don't totally mind it, BUT while they are "working" they lean back on the chair, put their feet on the counter and rest the chair and their dirty head on the corner of the wall. How do we know this? Well the paint was chipping off the wall and the back side of both chairs were wearing off the fabric. So maintenance in December put a thick cardboard corner protector on the wall. Guess what, it started getting worn AND there was a huge grease stain on the cardboard from their greasy head. Now how stupid are these guys? 

So I was given the okay to leave them a note requesting they stop using my chair and to refrain from leaning against the wall. The next morning I come to work to find a reply to my note. Saying something to this affect. Well the chair for security is broken and after sitting so long my back gets sore and I have to lean back.

Really? So I gave up and Fred and I went out and bought me my own chair (as the company was no way going to put out for a new one). I got permission to roll it into an office that is locked at night so the Security people can't find it AND I gave my old chair to someone else. So There!

I made me this personalized slip cover to put on the chair at night so it won't disappear. 
What do you think?

At work in permanent marker I wrote on Hello Kitty's ear
"Gayle's chair. Paid for with my own money".



Take that!
