New Old Office
We've moved back from our temporary office into the old office which is all new and shiny and refurbished and I am so pleased with the way it is. I still have a massive desk, but this time it's level and the drawers all keep themselves closed even when unlocked. We also have coathooks so I can wear my nice long winter coat to work and not worry about getting it trashed under the wheels of my desk chair when I move about (previously the only place to put a coat was on the back of a chair). Other exciting and useful developments involve shelving (previously there was very limited shelving that was either all way to high up on the walls or in a corner above someones desk and head so not easy to acess). There are less people in the office which makes it feel a bit more relaxed and quieter and will be perfect if Billy Talentless moves out (technically this is a post doc office and he is not a post doc anymore). Another big deal is the lighting, I can't work out whether it's just the new lighter carpet and repainted walls or that I'm just sitting under a fluorescent strip but it's a whole load brighter in here. There's still film on the windows filtering out sunlight and making it look like the apocalypse is imminent every sunset but it's way better than before and should help with battling SAD over the next few months.
Best of all is that the new desks are layed out differently so that it's more friendly, previously everyone had their backs to each other and the door facing walls but now there are more window seats and less back to backs and my desk is a prime spot by a window, away from Billy and facing the door so I don't get suprised when my boss comes to see me and I'm procrastinating way on the internet.
