New Changes, New View

First off, Happy New Year!

Upon arriving back to work on this New Year, I am treated to a move. Our main lobby area is receiving a much need renovations to include new flooring, wallpaper and carpeting. My desk has been moved to our secondary lobby at the other end of the building. Admittedly there are some adjustments in my routine, but basically my boss has made sure I have what I need to continue to do my job smoothly. Changes like having to call down to where the printer is before printing anything, having to travel down to the other end of the building to pick up said printing, not knowing who is in their office and insufficient lighting are just temporary and makes the day more interesting. Plus, even though I have temporarily lost my magnificent ocean view, I get to see people and things I rarely see. I think of this like a camping trip without the ants or the latrine.

But what puts the huge smile on my face? How nice of you to ask! My boss made sure I have access to the Internet and doing so, she decided to take our bartender’s wiring. She reasoned that all he uses it for is online dating services. Most of the day he walks by me scowling and making sarcastic comments about how I “stole” his Internet. Each time I smile real big and suggest he mention it to our boss. Then when he storms off like a little kid, I just throw a mental ticker-tape parade. Confetti everywhere! But he left and came back just now carrying his personal laptop, no doubt to use the building’s free Wi-Fi. I guess Big-Daddy can’t be away from DA LADIES!
