Office talk

In the office we're getting ever closer to moving our team down to the second floor, so the speculation about the new arrangements is hottening up. Most of the team is opposing the move (which is happening for, well, probably for political reasons) as it'll move us away from the development team - this is not an issue for me personally as I don't really need to deal with them but it's going to complicate things for some people.

But that's not an issue right now. We've been going down almost daily to see the progress the builders are making: first the carpets, then paint, then cubicles and yesterday they put in most of the desks. Today we were told to stay away as they were doing some electrical work with the lighting - so of course the debate about the last desks, the seating plan and the air conditioning was booming. And we resisted the temptation to sneak downstairs to have a look at the new lights, but I'm going down there first thing tomorrow morning and I know for sure I won't be the only one.

I'm happy. I'm getting a window seat, and I think it's most likely one of the best seats - it's peaceful and not cramped so I think I'll be just fine. But meanwhile we'll have another three days of speculation...
