Today is my official moving day at work. They are moving all of corporate IT into another building. Yes, I’m moving from having a cozy two-person office all to myself, with a door that locks, a window to the outside and everything, back into a cubicle. Dilbert world, here I come! In fact, he’s sitting right here with me as I type. My beloved old mascot. 🙂
Fortunately, I’ve been slowly moving myself over for the last two weeks. I brought over my laptop docking station and my primary monitor Thursday afternoon, setup, verified that everything worked, went home and haven’t been in since. It’s a good thing, too, since apparently they were working in the ceiling over my cube on Friday and dropped a big pipe into my neighbor’s cube (fortunately, he wasn’t here, either). You can see where the metal ceiling tile holders are wrecked as a result. A friend said they were making so much noise that people around my cube had to move elsewhere in order to get their work done. Sheesh!
Anyway, I’m here, settled in and ready to go. Poor Terry’s cubicle was in pieces up until now because his cube is under where they need to access an air handler in the ceiling to replace a part that still hasn’t come in. So, happy moving day, here’s a big gaping hole in the ceiling over your cubicle! 😆 In general, I’m not feeling very welcome in this building. The actual cubicle accommodations are pretty nice, but there’s virtually no parking, limited amenities and we are generally being treated like outcasts who are extremely low on the totem pole because we don’t want to place any additional support burden on the surrounding buildings. Pshaw!
Hey, have I mentioned that I’m glad I already moved? The movers were apparently late in showing up this morning and most people’s belongings are packed away in crates that may not show up here until 2 PM due to the number of crates needing to be moved and other stops that need to be made.
Woohoo! I can sit here and relax because I am unaffected. Go me! 😉
I actually think I’d prefer a cubicle over my current office situation – we sit in what’s known as an ‘office garden’ here – 6 or 7 people in one room, and if someone’s having a meeting at their desk, that’s just too bad for you (if you need some quiet to concentrate).
Enjoy your relaxation!!
Wise to move before they “moved” you. Did you remember your “brain”?? :o)
Ah yes, life in a cube farm. I know it well. 🙂
Smart to move yourself before the mass movers began their demolition.
Honestly, an office with just two people isn’t bad, but I’d choose my own cube over an office with more than two people.
