Moving

We recently got the great news that my company is moving to a bigger, newer, better office building.

Currently, we are in an office above an abandoned bank. Imagine a faceless, nameless IBM outpost in the late 1970's. It's an office with green and tan first-generation cubes. The carpeting is grey with flecks and tiny streaks of white, like a pair of polyester slacks. The phones look like they are Time-magazine surplus circa 1982. The walls and carpet and ceiling are stained. Also, the office used to house 60 people. Now, it holds just 9. It is large, silent, and stifeling. It's like a giant sensory deprivation chamber.

Anyway, we are moving to the Park Place towers, a rather modern office complex that we will share with about 100 other companies.

The social upside: lots of eligable single office girls.
The social downside: no more I-woke-up-too-late-to-shower-and-shave-and-do-laundry looks.
