My office is basically my home. I spend more waking hours there during the week than I do at my own house - just like every other responsible adult, I guess. Big news: After a few years of planning, the owners of my company built a new building and we moved in last Friday.
And it is awesome!
I mean, I'm still living the cubicle life, but at least now I'm right by a window so I get the benefit of natural light and I can check the weather without creepily looking through someone else's office. And, as an added bonus, our cubicles are super nice. Also, in the old building, I was right smack in the middle of all the chaos. I had loud people around me all day long and it was such a pain in the butt because I am easily distracted.
Wait, what's that shiny thing over there?
Okay, I'm back. In our new building, I'm off in the corner basically all by myself. It is as close to heaven as you can get while surviving the daily grind. Pretty much everything in the whole building is brand new and new stuff is always fun. There's a new energy that is pretty exciting.
And did I mention we have a waterfall in the front? I guess it's more of a water 'feature' but it's pretty cool. The landscaping will be beautiful when it's done. I'll post photos as soon as that happens.
The only bad thing is that I.T. is all the way on the opposite side of the building. Bad planning if you ask me (however, it is completely possible that they requested - begged? - to be as far away from us as possible!). We need them all the time. Especially our favorite guy Mark. It's been a really rough 4 days having him so far away.
So, to make his travel across the building more fun - and a lot faster, Erica, Brianne and I bought him a Razor scooter.
We think we're pretty funny.
Mark is such a good sport. He was a little hesitant to ride it around - you know, the whole acting professional thing at work is kind of a big deal for him. Plus, he said he needed a little practice so as not to damage any part of the new building. But, today he took it for a few spins.
He is so great. Seriously the nicest guy you'll ever meet.
Which helps keep the stress levels down.
I'll take more photos of my new work space and post them soon. But, here is my view to the outside world.
Okay, so it's not the most glamorous view (I'm super excited about the dumpster and the port-a-potty - I hope they stay a long time), but after 6.5 years of the 100% artificial light literally sucking the life out of me, I'll take it!
A definite upgrade.
