A Little Change Will Do You Good

I found out a couple of weeks ago that I was going to have to move from my cubicle at work to another one, a whole pod away. In reality, it was only a move of about ten feet or so, but that seems really far away when you're talking about uprooting three-and-a-half years of lived-in-ness. Five of us were picked to move, and since I'm the only one who was moving to a vacated desk, I had to start the ball rolling.

In real-estate terms, I've decided I've moved to a "corner office with a window view," and I think it is a more desirable space than the one I'm coming from. I have an actual floor-to-ceiling wall, which I'm super-excited about. I come from a center-cube, so I've only ever had the regular metal walls to deal with. I want to decorate it somehow--we have a bit of freedom in our cube-decor, since we work in a creative environment. I'm thinking a decal from BLIK, but they might be a little bit out of my price range right now. But seriously, how cute would this be:
Or this:
 Or this:
So cool.


It's funny: when you work at a theatre, people assume something particular about your job. They may think that you're on stage all day, or always teaching (as per what I do), or building something, or otherwise completely active. But the reality is that we still have to deal with office politics, and the realities of cube-land. It was downright cathartic to recycle bins and bins of paper files I haven't looked at in years, and will never need...

But you'd better believe I took my red Swingline stapler.

You could probably get those things made up for a much cheaper price at a place like this:
