New Cube

Moving upstairs today.

Good news - I'm in a window cube on the nineteenth floor, with a positively glorious view of North and Northeast Minneapolis. The view I had 'til Friday - from the tenth floor - was spectacular enough. After ten years of working either in blah suburban office complexes or drab incubators in the city, my very soul is sighing with visual delight.

Bad News - Still no network connection or phone.

It's a net gain.

Any of that sounds better than what I've got. I've worked in a converted warehouse bordering on truck parks for 10 years. We were given some hope last year when it was suggested that we might move out to a newer, more modern facility (and closer to my home), but instead they've applied a coat of paint to this squat behemoth and are promising to reduce the size of each cubicle! If I walk from my cubicle to the end of the row, I see first our parking lot, then a dull street, then a dirt driving area in front of the loading docks for the equally dismal warehouse across the street. That's it, and I'm closer to the windows than a lot of people. It keeps food on the table, though.

Windows? You have windows? I *dream* about having windows...

And no, I'm not exaggerating.
