I am a regular, but I needed to post this anonymously.  I started a part-time job recently, within my university department, as a graduate research assistant.  I'm using hu to refer to the prinicpal investigator.

i.  I'm not sure that hu has had a research assistant before.  They are used to working with collaborators, but I'm not psychic and collaboration is a whole different ball game.

ii.  A full-timer got kicked out of a shared first floor office to make room for me (hu is an important person, and diversity).  Unsurprisingly, this has upset the group dynamic.

iii.  I am struggling to find everything (relates back to my own diversity issues) - ADA doesn't apply as I'm not in the US. 

Other than telling myself tomorrow is another day, does anyone have any suggestions?

What are you talking about?

I'm guessing OP's disability/diversity issue caused the office displacement ?

OP, I suggest a re-write for clarity.

Yes, clarity, please.
