Haunted

I'm not quite sure what is going on here...

Several times today (and yesterday), I have looked up from my desk to find a woman in a green dress standing just to my right and behind me, making notes on a PDA. She appears to stop and look down the line of empty desks and then scribble more notes.

Next time I look up she's gone, but then she'll be back again, silently noting whatever she is keeping an eye on.

She never speaks to anyone and she appears and disappears at random intervals, making no sound whatsoever...

Spooky.

Someone, in another part of your department, is short of deskspace, and is counting empties.

Then they will be most upset when the owners of those desks come back from their holidays!

...unless she (or her masters) strike fast, in which case the holidaymakers will be most upset.

I'm currently sitting in an office (a tip, with an ancient mixture of furniture) from which about half the staff will be moved soon. We're busy eyeing up furniture to swap when they move out before others move in.

Beware hot-desking!

The best hot-desking involves a jerry-can of kerosene and a bumper box of matches...

Maybe she's working for the higher-ups and is checking for subversives.
If she's writing, was there one to read and another to monitor the two intellectuals?

I suspect (and don't speak the word out loud) that she might be an Auditor.

Not... "I see auditing people"?

Get some holy water and, next time she appears, leap up and perform an exorcism.
