On Friday, I will be moving out of my current office and into my former office, which I was forced to vacate about 9 months ago because that was "the only way things were going to be able to work down here."
I think it's hilarious. Either that, or I'm delirious.
Regardless, I get to move into an office that doesn't leak when it rains! It seems that some things are turning around in strange ways that I never expected, even when other things I had hoped for are not going to happen now. Life is funny that way. Balance in the midst of chaos.
I guess you really never do know what is going to happen next. It leaves you with hope. Hope that something new and brighter might really be peeking its head around the corner, even if it's not the specific "new and brighter" something that you had been been keeping your eyes peeled for.

So, you guys are playing "Musical Offices" again? Don't you get tired of packing and moving every few months? I know I would. I'd be interested to know exactly how many times you have moved offices, and how many different offices you've occupied.
Well, let's see. (1) Office at the end of the hall, shared with my boss and a student worker. (2) Large room that later became our conference room before it got taken by another department, shared with three other staff members and up to 6 student workers. (3) Little office in the middle of the hall, my first office that I didn't have to share, which was good because it was small and crammed with all my stuff to the point that we were always a little concerned the fire marshall might see it. (4) Office opposite of #3, large, with window. My favorite, but the one I was kicked out of earlier this year. (5) Office down on the "noisy" end of the hall, leaked when it rained. The upside was the door that I wasn't allowed to keep closed, so I'm not sure why it mattered. (6) My "new" office as of yesterday, also known as #4, also known as my favorite.
So, that's six moves to different offices. There was another move inside #2 when my boss and his secretary moved out and I rearranged the rest of us in there. So, I've moved 7 times, but only to 6 locations. And since this last move was back to my old office, I've technically only been in 5 different offices.
Whew! I'm tired just writing that! :)
