It’s moving day again at the office. This was not a good day for me to oversleep, but fortunately I still got there on time and the moving hadn’t started yet. I’m once again glad that I didn’t have a lot to move. I foolishly put my computer keyboard, mouse, and some cables in my only box so that it would be easier to move. I moved my computer monitor and tower over to the new building and when I came back to get that box, the movers were in my shared office taking stuff out. My box was already on the moving truck. Everything that I labeled with my name and my new office number got moved to the new office of the lady that I was sharing my previous office with. At least I got my stuff, even if it was after noon.

This move seems different than the last one. Everyone is kind of tired, but they seem mostly excited. More of us are in the same place right now. It’s almost like we’re a family that’s been brought together. I think the difference in this move is because: a) a lot of lessons were learned last time and b) the people moving have a different attitude about the move and are just glad to finally get the move over with. Even people who don’t have furniture yet and have to sit on the floor while using their computers are joking about it instead of complaining. I really liked the way that everyone has been helping each other. I’ve been trying to be helpful where I could.

The things I like the most about this new space is that I have much more room and that I once again have a decent amount of privacy. To quote a PJ song, “P-R-I-V-A-C-Y is priceless to me”. I’m in a cubicle, but at least it’s not a small shared office. The first thing I did was rearrange the furniture. I went to Wal-Mart during lunch to buy some cleaning materials and other things and now I’m pretty happy with everything. Here I even have my own whiteboard to work on. I don’t know why I’m so excited about that. The supply room only had black and red markers, but I had to have more variety. I bought a pack with 4 different colors when I went to Wal-Mart.

Some people have really nice setups in their new offices. I’m going to have to visit those people just so I can gawk at their arrangements.

This is the kind of day where you get very little work done. I’m going to try to be productive during the last part of my day.
