    A new kind of work related problem for me

    So in the office I have a desk that I use. The consultancy has been asked to provide another body so they have shopped one in. The client has not provided another desk so, and I sheet you not they have installed his PC on my desk. So now I have half as much desk.

    We are sat here cuddled up, like Siamese twins. Normally I have my laptop on the desk, and the keyboard and mouse for the clientCo PC.

    But now I have to have my laptop and other PC in the same space.

    Also the new consultant is very chatty. Very very chatty.

    Output from me has plummeted because of these changes.

    Advice please.
    Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

      No. He is a he. And very sage and wise and wittery.

          Get a cheapo laptop 2nd hand on expenses, arrive really early and superglue it to the desk next to the mouse and keyboard
          Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

          No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

            Stop showering and carry on invoicing, the smell will drive the other contractor away sooner or later

                  Sit on him. They'll never find him and just assume he stopped turning up.
