One of the girls has brought her son into work. He's somewhere between six and nine (I really can't tell the difference at this point), and has not sat still for two consecutive minutes all morning. He's driving me nuts. He's fiddled with the typewriter, ridden a chair around the entire office several times, and has spent the rest of the time bouncing off the walls in other, not altogether creative ways.

Offices are not good environments for little children. Not all day. There is nothing for him to do here, and I can't blame him for being bored.

However, I have to get my work done, and this isn't helping.

Can't you lock him in a cupboard??

Hmm... there *is* a walk-in closet with a door code, but I think it opens automatically from the inside to avoid people getting trapped.

Boo.

It's a good suggestion, though.

Ropes and ball gags work well too.

I think that might get me fired. :/

Not to mention arrested... O_o

[angelovernh.livejournal.com]

why is he there?

Presumably because his mother couldn't find anyone to look after him today, and thus thought she could use the office as a built-in babysitter. :P
