locker_monsterSo, the giant office move is done. Today was only our second day in the new downtown building, but everyone is starting to get their new routines down. My commute isn't so bad. I like to get in early, so when I'm catching the bus and train in the morning it's still relatively empty and I don't have to worry about fighting for a seat. I spend the half hour ride reading a book anyway, so I barely notice what's going on around me. Going home is a little harder, since everyone wants to go home, but I'm getting a schedule down to ensure that I make all of my connections.
My new cubicle is actually pretty nice. I'm tucked away in the corner so I'm away from all of the foot traffic. There's even a window at my back so I get to see the sun for once. I'm predicting my spot is going to get kind of cold in the winter, though. I can already feel the cool air seeping in. Maybe I can sneak in a block heater if it gets really bad. Aside from that, I actually have a decent amount of privacy despite the slightly shorter cubicle walls. I can be less paranoid about writing at work now.
The building is old, though. You can tell from the style of wallpaper and the interior of the elevator. Wallpaper is tacky, like it's from the 1980s or something, and the elevator has older style buttons with bronze walls. Even the elevator ding sounds old school. We've been assured that the building's air quality is up to snuff, but I'm having my doubts. My allergies are really acting up. I just hope it's because the snow is melting and not because there's some horrible mound of dust circulating through the vents.
The weather is decent now, so we'll see how I feel about this new location when it's the dead of winter and -30C with wind chill.
