Aaahhh-ha-ha-ha-ha (insert maniacal laugh here)

That's me being blissful in my new office !!! Yes, it's official. I'm moved in to my new office, the former conference room. Amazing ... absolutely amazing. It's enabled me to like my job again. It's enabled me to tolerate my co-workers again. It's renewed my enthusiasm for actually caring about my job again. My productivity has doubled. My mood has skyrocketed. My stress level has plummeted. It's amazing.

Pictures. Caveat: the room isn't done. Since this all happened so fast, we didn't have time to do much other than use what was there (which is fine with me!). I'm using the former conference room table as a desk (this will eventually get replaced, and moved to the other empty office across the hall). I'm using a random table off to the side (also being replaced) and in these pictures my chair is one of the conference room chairs (since replaced with a 'real' desk chair, with wheels and all that). My boss has hired his cousin, a master carpenter, to custom build me a work station to my design and specifications in this space. How. Cool. Is that? It'll take some time, but in the next month or so this place is going to be so amazing, I might just like it better than home. (I know, check me for fever).

Okay - the promised pictures.

Reminder: old office

Back to new office.

What's not to love?? I'd say I've hit a good spot - finally. I work part time, and have my own office (the proverbial corner office, no less, with windows overlooking beautiful garden views).

Sigh.

And if all that wasn't good enough ... in less than 72 hours I will be on the beach in North Carolina. (that weird tropical disturbance thing will be gone by then ... trust me, my name isn't Rayne for nothing).

Life is good.
