Today is moving day at work and a lot of people are stressed/cranky/sick from the all the dust. One guy who was displaced had been in his office for 23 years. Poor guy. Some people are realizing today that they are going to have to get new furniture that will fit in their new offices or have work done on their offices.

I was one of the people who moved today and I will be moving again soon. I was also one of the people whose computers didn’t work at first after the move. The bad thing is that my new office is a shared office and my computer is facing the doorway. Not much space and not much privacy. The other occupant of this office is on maternity leave, so I get to be alone for a little while.

I knew that the office I had been in since I started was a temporary office, so I was kind of looking forward to moving to a place that I could settle into for a while because I had a feeling that I would be in this location for at least a little while. However, the lady who will be taking my place in this new office has already been in here today measuring things and trying to figure out how she’s going to arrange the place. She’s already put in a request to have the carpet redone, which is probably going to mean a disruption for me. The next move could actually be within the next couple of months and it won’t be soon enough.

Two good things:

• I actually have a key to this office so I don’t have to leave it unlocked and I don’t have to worry about the cleaners locking it in the mornings.
• For the first time in 5 years I have my own phone at work. For now I’ll ignore the fact that it doesn’t work yet.
