See how ugly it is? I've got a great tank of a retro desk—there's usually a laptop on that desk—but those bland cubicle walls drive me crazy.
And I'm steps away from the kitchen, and at the intersection of
two walkways, so it's NOISY near my desk. Ugh.
And have I mentioned the grime? We've got a pile of dogs running around our office, so there floors are full of dust (and hair) bunnies. I've only been in that workspace for about five months, but it's filthy under my desk.
Well... tomorrow I get a new office! Our office currently takes up the entire second floor of an old building, and we're expanding into half of the first floor. My department's moving into the new space, and my co-editor and I will share a room. WITH A DOOR. No more sitting in—or uncomfortably close to—a hallway!
And we painted the new office yellow. And it has windows. I'm unbelievably excited. I'll post photos after we get settled in.
