Moving in

All moved in, mostly.
The move may have been last Tuesday, but there are still a pile of boxes in my new office to be unloaded around this monstrosity
.
That would be the result of spending all my time after the move setting up computers for everyone, re-setting all the printers to their new network addresses, and then re-setting up computers for various people who think they're important after their new desks arrived.
And new desks... do you see how freakin' huge that thing is!? And I'm sure it won't take long for me to get it covered, too, between my three machines, whatever I happen to be working on for someone else, and all the various projects happening at any given time.

The view is pretty sweet, though, & we all thank the gods that the photo studio offices are a little farther away! Now if she would only learn to pick up the phone & call to complain about the problem of the moment instead of walking all over trying to find whoever she thinks she needs. But I don't think she'll ever be cured of:

putting a photo on the server
emailing the person who needs it to tell them it's there,
& then walking over to tell them that it's there & that's she's just emailed you about it!

And we wonder...

why Muslims around the world still don't like us?
No matter how good the intentions of our policies may look on the surface, the military is still be a haven for racists & nationalists whose acts of stupidity continue to bring us down in the eyes of the world.

There are three types of people in our office concerning our move.

The majority of the staff are looking forward to the move, and aren't too worried about logistics. They are, however, starting to be concerned about packing.
A couple of people, most notably, my supervisor, are paranoid, & absolutely convinced that something major will go wrong & screw everything up once we're in the new space.
And then there is me; I really don't give a rat's ass one way or another, as long my paycheck makes it to the bank!

Oh, baby!

My arteries are clogging up just thinking about the hamdog
What's even better are the Google Ads on the page:

& Authentic Cajun Turducken.

Fired?

Bitch-slapped maybe for drinking something so nasty, but not fired.
I bet the lawyers are queuing up outside his house!

In just eight days we move to our new offices away from the main university campus, and into a remodeled insane asylum.
I'm still not sure how to take that, & haven't found out yet whether or not they've left the padding on on my office walls.
About half of our staff is excited about the move, and the rest of us are sure that something will go wrong, & we'll spend at least a week sitting on the floor as we work, waiting for our furniture to arrive.
I'm a little more concerned with getting the feng-shui right in my office, as there is a ghost in the wing from a nurse who died on the premises. That's lucky, I guess; the other end of the building houses the ghost of a patient who committed suicide by sneaking a gun into the ward when he was checked in.

Until then, there are boxes to be packed, furniture to be tagged – if it is going – & a strategy to be stratergerized for getting all fifty odd computers to the new offices and set up for everyone.

You'd think it might be a little difficult to get around that way!
