Cube Farm Shenanigans

So, my company is trying to migrate three Nashville locations into one. This means that we had to move buildings on December 19th, 2008. I don't mind change, but this particular change is a bit ironic for me because I used to work in the building we moved to when I was a QA Analyst for HCA. My 28 mile one-way commute has increased to a 42 mile one-way commute...again. I don't mind the drive, it's just a shame that Percy Priest Lake is right smack in the middle of where I live and where I work so no matter which route I choose to take I have to go around. So I choose the no-traffic route. I go 840 and cut my way through some back roads to get over to 40. To me, the extra few minutes is worthwhile rather than going the route that is going to cause major road rage because of traffic. So we sat in cubes at the old building too, but the difference is that in the old building, it was just me and my departmental co-workers that sat together. This migration has us all feeling out-of-sorts. We still all sit together but there are unfamiliar faces everywhere we look. The most disappointing part is we can't have our toy wars anymore, not that any of us has had time for toy wars lately since we've been so busy, but once in awhile it was nice to block out a ten minute window to relax our minds for a bit. So here is just a glimpse of the cube farm (along with the back of Garan's head): It's not so bad since I get to sit just across from Mark and Garan - and I work mostly with them so that comes in handy. I already have my cube decorated like I've worked at this desk for years! Here's to change and new beginnings for 2009. Cheers!
