you have to move office buildings

My company has been talking for months about moving office buildings, and finally decided on a place about a mile north of the old building. So, this past Friday we had to pack up our cubes and show up to a different building on Monday.

I wasn't looking forward to this move. They told us our cube space would be cut almost in half and instead of having about 90 people split between 3 office spaces, we would all be in one room...oh, and adding 2 or so more departments into the same space.

I was told in the beginning that I would have a window seat, only to be told later that it was really just a concrete wall. Like I said, I wasn't looking forward to this move.

But...it's really not so bad. The office is much quieter than I thought it would be with so many people in it, and my window seat is actually a window seat, with tons of sunlight streaming in during the morning hours. The new phone system is really cool and the new building has a lot more amenities than the old one. All in all, I'm happy with the new workspace, as it's not as small as they made it seem.

They are taking away casual Friday, however, which really does suck!
