New Office
I'm in week three of the new office and still getting things settled. The change has been a good one overall for work; but not so easy for personal.
My team and I are now in a work space at least three times as large as the one we moved out of. We have some new furniture, including some nice chairs that are actually meant to be sat in for a full day's duration. We also have about 45 sq. ft. of window space (three 5'×3') windows. The view isn't fantastic but who cares? They're windows! We're also within minutes walking distance from Subway, Akmal, Soontaree's, H&K, 7-11, and more. (See Hilo Eats if not familiar with these.) Oh, and parking isn't a problem now, woot!
The drawback to being off-campus is of course the lack of convenience. I can't just hop over to the cafeteria, coffee cart, or bookstore. Also, since Sherrie Ann and I carpool, our commute time has doubled (to about 30 minutes a day :D ). I also can't meet with faculty/staff very easily, but that wasn't a daily event so it's not too bad.
All-in-all, the move is a positive one. We'll see how it pans out over the next (projected) five years.
As for the rest of life, it's about time to start xmas shopping. Happy birthday to Jr. and Austin. And Happy Holidays, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Winter Solstice, and/or end of 2006.
