Today I found myself moving again-but it was only down the hallway. I got a nice, new office at work. For the past year, I shared a windowless office with a coworker and an overly-active air conditioner. My new office has lots of windows that look out on our tree-filled courtyard. It faces west, so I get a lot of afternoon sun. I'm hoping I can retire the sweater collection and space heater I kept at work.
I didn't really add any personal touches to my old office because it was a shared space, so I'm looking forward to putting my stamp on my new office. I already have my "Lightening at Kitt Peak" picture hung. I also bought a plant today at lunch and will get some more if I can keep the first one alive. I also ordered some prints from one of my favorite artists, Heather Brown, and eventually I'd like to get some more pictures of friends and family up.
Even though the new office isn't a promotion, it feels like one. It was especially gratifying this afternoon to have a senior co-worker from another field office stop and feel like I had a very professional space to invite him into for our meeting. Hopefully, I'll get to stick around in this office for a while.
Hey kris!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the house and the new office!
I'm glad you found heather brown's website :)
I was looking at it the other day and was impressed with how many prints she had available - I definitely want to order some too. Before I leave I want to go up to the north shore to look at the real things one more time :)
