Today at work I moved into an office. Only because there are so many of the darn things empty, and there are so few of us, and the grand-bosses think we should be 'consolidated', as it were.
So yeah. My first office, and for those reasons. But still...an office...with a door ('come on in, and shut the door, please.' I have always wanted to say that!) and a window (with a view of the neighboring building and lovely chainlink fence...but sunshine!) and a bit of privacy.
I would like to think that things here can hold on, that something can be pulled out of the bag of tricks, but the bag is looking might flat. It's a hard place to be. You know, moving into an office, for whatever reason, is a bit exciting, and yet, there is this pall, because I know that once these offices were filled. And how long am I, or any of us going to be here?
So while I am not going to bring in artwork, curtains, or a lamp, I think a plant might be appropriate.
This will be a three-day weekend for Wonderful Guy and myself. He has the holiday. I am taking my floating holiday. Always something I take earlier rather than later. We don't have big plans, but our weather is suppose to be pleasant. We have missed the bitter cold the midwest has suffered with. So I suspect we will be doing something outside. I am feeling up to some exercise!
Tomorrow I will be drawing for my Bloggery Contest. There is still time to join in the fun if you haven't yet!
My office offers a view of McDonald's roof and the lovely smell of McFish sandwiches..... enjoy your new space!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the new office! =D
ReplyDeleteIn addition to the plant, I recommend a small basket with mini skeins of your handspun, or yarn balls. Just something to fondle when feeling stressed and to remind you that life is bigger than the job. Look at me being positive and optimistic. ;-)
ReplyDeletelizzzknits has a good idea!
ReplyDeleteMy office has a window (barred) that looks out into another office!!! (Well, it is a vault!)
Can't wait for the drawing! love, WS
Thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteI hope things turn around and you can keep your new office and fill it with lots of great things.
Fingers crossed for all of us.
