Growl at work

So, yey. I have to find something to do that looks like I'm working while there is no work for me to do. Yey. B is right though, it's important that the big boss doesn't see me not working. It's going to be a slow day; I can see that. I enjoy month end because at least then I have stuff to do. I'd like to be busy-busy-busy all the time because I enjoy working. No, I'll rephrase that. I enjoy being busy and having things to think about all the time. Unfortunately it seems that all of the people who I need information from are either asleep or away, or they just don't really care. I guess the other teams are probably still month ending. They could at least have the decency to drop me a memo back saying that they will get back to me when they are free. It's not like the questions that I'm asking are that complicated. P is looking up some more complicated info for me, so that will take some time at least, although usually less time than I am expecting! Perhaps I should ask for more to do, again. It's not going to happen though is it? I mean, realistically- K seems to think that the team is too small and that we need someone else. So it's obvious to me that all of the actual work is being split between him and the other K and I get stuck with the dregs. Maybe it's that I find the work I have to do less taxing than other people might find the work they have to do. Maybe it's that I'm unwilling to make a change which I know will affect other things unless I have an explanation of the way both the changed things and the other things should be. Darnit! I suppose I should be finding things to do. There really isn't anything though. I'm waiting for people to get back to me and there's not much else I could do. I guess I could plot the movement of some variables through a variety of programs, or I could make lists of all the variables...

You can help do my stuff... I've been told you're too busy and there's no chance of me getting you to lend a hand with "tidy up" bits that I think you're best placed in the team to do. It's going to be Grumpy G instead, probably. Not sure how well that's going to work...

Ah, sucky.
I am, contrary to popular belief, bored stiff most days. It seems that K(boss) relies on the other K as to how hard we work, and I don't generally have much to do, but of course I also have lots To Do, but can't do any of it coz people are slow in responding to memo.
