The Evolution of My Office

I have always had my own office and have never worked in a cubicle, until this Monday. Last fall, I was told that our individual offices are to be demolished, and everybody will work in newly built cubicles. I was stressed out trying to figure out where I should put all the junk I have been accumulating over the years in the office. I don’t think I am a hoarder as bad as featured in last week’s SF Weekly. However, I do tend to keep stuff, or too lazy to clean up. I was really happy when I finally finished packing up my office. The construction followed. Our offices are torn down and the place is like a war zone in the Middle East. Now it’s all over, and all I get is a small cubicle. I moved in on Monday. Well, life goes on. I have boxes of ammunitions I packed away to transform this cold metal square into a place of my own. If my office needs to evolve, it has to come out to be a cute baby if I am the parent. It didn’t take very long for me to empty all of my boxes, and my cubicle is definitely MINE now. I actually kinda like the new cubicle, it makes me feel like I just move in a new house — everything is new and I get to rearrange the furniture and redecorate the empty walls. Now, I can just yell at my co-workers without having to walk into their offices. http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf The big question is how long I can keep my little cozy cubicle neat and tidy. Actually it might not be difficult because the space is much smaller for me to mess up and much easier for me to clean up. I will keep my fingers crossed. I also wonder where my office might evolve from here. Probably no where, because I already have a nice view, and I don’t think they will tear down the cubicles and build officers again anytime soon.
