Sorting out the move

May 25th 2007 05:45
I’m not moving to desk three – or desk anything else that I’ve been to before. Nor am I moving to a new desk stuck in the corner, as I said yesterday. Instead, I’ve moved to an office a couple of doors up, with a couple of guys who are only there some of the time. It’s quite spacious, not particularly warm (but it was getting very stuffy for me in the other big office where they complain about
swinging a cat
how cold they are a lot) and I’ve got enough room to swing a cat. It’s not on the sunny side of the building, but I believe that gets really hot. One of the guys is someone whose company I enjoy – friendly, easy-going, father of one and soon to be father-of-two, no hang-ups, outgoing and generous. And across the corridor (where the cat would fly off to if I let it go) is another guy I get on well with. So all in all, even though it was a dusty move (the computer and desk hadn’t been cleaned in some time) it’s a good move, and will make my last eight days (eight!) in the place more enjoyable, I believe.

Incidentally, you can find a nice article about swinging a cat at Green Ash. The picture comes from there too.
