"It's Britney Bi#ch!"

~~ song, "Gimme More" by Britney Spears

Well...as some of you know...I no longer hold the title of Admin. However, I would argue my years of experience qualifies me for lifetime membership into the Admin Club...therefore, I will continue to post here.
Add to that the fact that though I'm newly minted into my new role, I still get the admin questions from the rest of the department -- always prefaced with an apology: "I'm sorry to bother you I know you're in your new role but....do we have any double sided tape?". 

Then there's the temp in my admin role, also known as, Paperweight 2.0.  Yes that's right people.  At Day 3 of training when she interrupted me to go off on some tangent about her son it finally hit me.  She is a duplicate of the Paperweight. 

• She launches into an account of her whole family (immediate and extended) at the drop of a hat.  
• She's neck deep into "the change".  
• She's got the A/C on and the window open in single digit weather!  

 The packaging may be different but the personality is the same.  I thought the world would end when they finally ended up in the office together.  It's simple Physics people! 
You know...the Pauli exclusion principle:
 The concept is an extension of the principle. The idea is that if two bodies (solid objects) tried to occupy the same physical space, the forces which control the sub-atomic spacing of the elements would immediately and catastrophically force the occupied space into the VOLUME required for both objects, essentially an explosion. Gravity is a limiting factor, in the abnormal space of say, the earth's core, or a black hole, where expansion is overcome by gravitational compression.

It goes along with "if there is room to move, things move. and the path of least resistance is the path of movement." All a part of fluid dynamics.

The phrase is often used to indicate that when two objects are forced together SOMETHING has to yield.

Two Paperweights..same office...same time...= BOOM!!  

As there are two of them now... perhaps i should call them bookends!
I have been avoiding my old office like the plague -- but the few moments I do go in there its quiet and seems...tense. Weird.  Could they be repelling each other?  

Breaking Admin News!!!!
Apparently my new role has been defined (finally) as a focus on education and...yup you guessed...administration.  Is there no escape??!!  I'm employed and i'm getting paid more.  I should just shut my pie hole and stop complaining right?  Not bloody likely!
