I won’t tell you where I work but you might already know. I may have posted it in the past. Believe me, I don’t get paid as much as I could elsewhere… but I do get a pension, so that is nice.

I work in the Technical area which is separate from the rest of the office… but in name only. I work with accountants and managers and testers and such. I’m a programmer so I’m technical.

Anyway the big honcho of our whole organization (and that’s big, believe you me) has said that we all need to save electricity by cutting back on using it. Okay well sure that is a good idea.

So then we get this email today from one of the head honchos of our technical area. And it says we have to remove all personal electronic devices from our offices.

This includes small refrigerators, coffee makers, microwaves, fans, etc. We already are not allowed space heaters because they disrupt the entire environmental control of the building. But now only us technical people have to remove our personal appliances. So I asked my accountant friend if he could take 2 small fridges, 2 microwaves, 2 coffee machines and a number of fans and put them in his office. He laughed.

Well, hopefully this will be straightened out in the next couple of weeks. I have no intention of removing my tiny little 2 pot coffee machine. I make Decaf, while the rest of the office makes caffeinated. Hrmph.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Maybe we won’t be allowed lights either. Or, heck, even computers. That would save a ton of energy! LOL
