Finally!!!!

[Lindsey]

Well, it finally happened. We hired a new drafter and kicked Chris out of the drafting room A lot of you will remember the problems I was having with him before, and I'm so glad I finally spoke up and so did everyone else. The new drafter is great. He hadn't used the program before but after the first day he could do way more than Chris ever could. He's also very laid-back and happy, and he loves dogs and rides a sportbike! So I actually enjoy working with him and having stuff to talk about!
Anyways, Chris didn't go without a fight. He was being moved to a desk right outside the boss's office, even though there was an extra computer in the drafting room with us. We have another girl who had been sitting at that extra computer. Before he left work the day before he was moving places, he told the other girl that she was actually moving out of the room and he was going to take her spot. So she believed him and the next morning started moving all of her stuff. The boss saw this and asked why she was doing that, and he wasn't impressed at all when he found out. He had a talk with Chris, and Chris ran back into the drafting room and started yelling and swearing and saying "who the f--- does he think he is, moving me?!!!" But he moved.
The next day, Chris went right to the boss in front of everyone and said "I just want you to know that I'm going to listen to music loud, talk on the phone loud, and cause a ruckus until you move me back to my spot" and the boss just sighed as Chris stomped out of the room. He also kept coming into the drafting room to bug the new drafter (Ryan) and kick him off his computer and basically try to slow down his work as much as possible. When that wasn't bothering him, he came back in and rolled out the drawers from under Ryan's desk and took them to his new desk. Then he came back again and took the shelf from the top of the desk (which BELONGS on the desk) and also took that to his new desk. Ryan saw exactly what was happening and didn't say a word about it.
Now Chris keeps trying to stick his nose back into drafting, by calling clients (when he is basically forbidden to talk to clients anymore because a lot of people are angry), and by trying to get the engineers to give him drafting work. I guess today he answered a phone call and a coworker overheard him say "No I'm just temporarily out of the drafting room but I will be back in there soon. I'll pass you to someone who can open the drawing." He's trying to get Ryan fired so he can come back to drafting. I'm doing my part though and totally praising Ryan to my boss, I'm not going to let him go. The engineers are all impressed with him too.
Right before leaving the office today Chris called the vp of the whole company and told him that our office is full of "f---ing idiots" and he wants to slap us all upside the head!! I can't believe he's being this childish and he still has a job.
But I'm just going to sit back and enjoy it for now. It's actually pretty humorous. I'm so stress-free and happy now!
