New Digs

Ah, so this is how the other half lives. Yep, the move is complete! I came in today (Saturday) to uninstall and reinstall my keyboard drawer, move the computer, and hang some stuff on the wall. Mind you, the chief thing I wanted to get on my wall was my framed poster of the hats worn by all 160 minor league baseball teams in America. Ooh, I also grabbed a cool old map of the AL counties from a classroom that was about to be demolished. Originally it was a "gimme" calendar promotion from some business back in 1967. I love maps, so I couldn't let it fall prey to the wrecking ball.

Actually the new office is not that different from the old one, but the business division will stay together now AND I have a window -- though I can't figure out a good way to get the blinds to stay up. My main motivation in moving, though, was to force myself to organize and pare down. As to that, mission accomplished. I did, though, think I was going to have to commit homicide during the move!

See, the previous tenant of this office took my paring down idea to an extreme. I really do think her computer and current semester textbooks are the only things she took! You would not believe the piles of junk that were left in here. ARGH! Still, I wanted to move, so I didn't have much choice. Yes, I could have thrown a fit and insisted that she come back and clean out her office, but I don't "insist" very well and I wanted to get moved quickly. Hence, I ended up moving her out. Fortunately we have one empty office in the suite that no one is claiming, so I was able to move a lot of her old textbooks and an extra bookshelf to that office.

So now I'm moved in to my fancy new office and I don't have any excuses for not grading that set of stats homeworks. Ugh. In the meantime, here are some shots of the new digs.
