wOOt!
We have moved into our new office! Yea! Actually, we moved in yesterday, but I’m just getting to write about it today. It is so, so nice to finally have an actual office. No more Storage Room B!! I’ve been saying that it’s “no big deal”, but it really is. I ordered business cards yesterday, finally, because I also got an actual extension! I feel like a real-live genuine employee now. I guess I’ll start bringing things into the office for my desk now. And, I’ll finally be able to have actual office supplies. Oh, the joy! The rapture of it all!
We’ve hidden our “lab” area behind a bookcase when you walk in the door, which my boss’ boss liked. Our desks are at right angles to each other, but that lets us not have our backs to the door. I don’t mind having my back to my coworker, but I don’t like having my back to the door. I’m just funny like that. It’s really a nice setup. I may have to get a full-spectrum light for my desk, though, to simulate sunlight. And a plant. Yep, I need to bring in a plant. Hey, if enough of you deadbeats who read this blog clicked on ads, I could buy cool stuff for my desk, too! Or, check out the official Diary of a Network Geek Store. Or, better yet, you could hit my ThinkGeek Wishlist… Nah, all you guys are as poor as I am! Oh, for the 90’s again….

Ooo, I lost that “ugly” five pounds I gained while travelling, too. Maybe it was all the extra exercise moving or something, but I’m back down to my “fighting weight” of 175. Sweet.

  3. ^_^ I also say that you’re as poor as I am! I keep hoping I’ll find a rich widow who thinks geeks are hot who wants to buy me things. So far, no luck, but hope springs eternal!

  4. Haha…. I *am* poor (teacher), but I DO think that geeks are hot. You aren’t the only one looking for a sugar daddy, or mama in your case. Actually I’m not actively looking. Mostly in my dreams. But I can dream can’t I?
