Same Job, New Digs

Today marks day two in my new office. I haven't changed jobs, just locations. It's interesting. I still have three boxes to unpack, but they'll have to wait while I get caught up with projects. As with any work location, there are some good and bad things about the place.

Good

• My cubicle is right by the window, so I have sunlight! I was actually right by the window at the old location, but the high cubicle walls meant I didn't get much light.


• I like the new cubicles. The walls are lower, so things are more open. We'll see how I like this in the long run. There's not much privacy, but it does seem like there's more room.


• The drive to the new office takes only 20 minutes. It took between 30 and 40 to get to the old office. It wasn't much further away, but I had a lot of stop-and-go traffic.

Bad

• While I like being by the windows, the sun is almost right in my eyes for two hours in the afternoon. Hopefully we'll get blinds or shades of some kind. Otherwise, I'll have to get some sunglasses. :)


• It's a good five-minute walk to the lunchroom, and they don't want us to eat at our desks any more. Honestly, I like having a private lunch, and that's not really going to happen.


• The new office is at least 10 minutes away from restaurants and stores. It won't be so easy to just run out and buy lunch.


• No more covered parking.

Looks like I'll also start going to a different library. This won't be too difficult, since the county has several to choose from. I'm stopping by a new one after work, and we'll see if it's too far out of the way.
