In entirely predictable fashion, I heard today that my cube neighbor has been offered another cube but doesn't want to move. Not happy about this, but not surprised either. The cube being offered isn't a downgrade either, so no excuse. She left me a few cookies on my desk to apologize for the noise she has been making, but that hardly makes up for her presence. I've already been forced to adjust my schedule in the hope of avoiding her - for example, I came into the office today instead of yesterday. The next time she is in the office when I am, I'm going to see if I can guilt trip her to move. If that doesn't work, then I'll have to consider my options. Certainly, I can and will schedule which days I come into work to best avoid her (in the hope that she keeps to a regular schedule, which I'm not sure she does). Otherwise, I might have to consider moving cubes myself. And that will definitely be a downgrade, which is why I'm reluctant to do so. But perhaps that is the sacrifice I need to make in order to get the peace and quiet I seek.
