Did not get to blog yesterday as my office was moved from one room to another and my computer was down. Bummer!

Took forever to affect the move as there were 3 people moving from one spot to the other. Our current comptroller moved into the office that is just off my (now old) one, the new VP of Finance moved into my old office and I moved up to the office that the Comptroller was using.  Carlos asked me for the best way to make everything happen and I told him, but it didn’t go like I had planned it out.  Wayne stuck his nose into it and so I ended up kicking my heels with nothing to do while they put Jean’s desk and stuff together. She was the only one who could stay where she was at until it was all done since she was not moving, but getting new furniture and everything in her new space. Verle was leaving early anyway, so his work was minimally effected.

Then I came in at 6:30 this morning to try to catch up on what I wasn’t able to get done yesterday to find that, while my desk was put together, my computer was still scattered to the 4 winds, so instead of catching up on work, I put my computer together and get it fired up. My UPS has decided it doesn’t like the new place and keeps tripping, so I hope we don’t have a power failure :\ My speakers don’t want to work,either, so it’s pretty quiet in here with no ding-dong to announce the arriving mail or any of the other little sounds the computer makes when I do something it thinks it needs to remark on.

I meant to bring a radio this morning.

There’s also a bunch of junk piled along one wall. While it isn’t in my way, it’s an eyesore and I would like for it to go away. Carlos said it was HR stuff, but it seems to be a mixture of junk from offices people have moved out of and empty boxes. There’s one filing cabinet full of fleet stuff from 1999-2004 which could go upstairs into storage. There are two broken and wobbly stenographer’s chairs that could go in the trash as far as I can see.

My screen is on the right side where I’ve been used to it  being on the left, so I’m having to get used to looking in a different direction. It seems to be making it a little bit awkward to type for some reason I can’t quite grasp. I don’t know why the way your head is turned would make any difference in how you type, but I’m making a bunch of typing errors and that’s not usual for me.

Well, enough griping on my part. Wish I could be home enjoying this beautiful fall weather! I did get out at lunch today some and did NOT want to go back in the building. But I have and now I need to do something productive.

Love to all,

Margaret
