I prayed for an easy assignment after the preceeding nightmare.
What I have is something a bit awkward.
My new boss, we'll call him King Lear, is (was?) a President here. It seems he has been deposed. I am here because his assistant was re-assigned and I am to see out the end of his term. He is something of a lame duck. Apparently the office used to be nonstop activity but now people don't call him or have their weekly meetings with him because he's been fired-ish.
I'll get to more on all of that later. What really matters to me is that I'm typing this because it's 6:12 PM and I'm still here because he's been in his private bathroom for 53 minutes and doesn't seem to be leaving. I have to go. I have a yoga class at 6:30.
The question is, do I just leave? Knock on the bathroom door? It's a dilemma.
