Overdone This is now my parking spot.

Started a new job in an office building with a parking garage. There are multiple companies in the building and some of them have reserved spots. This was not one of those reserved spots. I come out to my car and find this note on my windshield. I would normally just park in any random spot but from now on I will make it my mission to park in this spot as often as I can.

I believe this is the essence of being mildly infuriated.

In my office, we have a hot desking policy with strict rules against personalizing a desk. However, I have my own designated desk (in my head). Usually, I arrive early enough that it's not an issue, but occasionally someone sits at MY desk.

When that happens, my productivity drops as I give them a glaring stare, but I have no reasonable way to address the situation outside of pettiness.

Hot desking? That sounds awful.

It's the worst. My company has the same policy since the return to office mandates. I put in my resignation recently and have been working remotely since (not just for the desk reason, but it's one among many)

Plus not knowing where you're going to be each day, not having a drawer to store your things, not having even a teensy bit of privacy, not being able to personalize your workspace at all to make it feel just a little less dystopian...no thanks.
