New Desk Equals Change

It has been an interesting month for me, to say the least. I changed desks, but I am not a HUGE fan of change (sorry Obama, P.S this is not a political blog). The new desk idea wasn't mine, but I obliged.

Saying goodbye to my old desk was not the easiest thing to do, I spent many hours for the past 15-16 plus months on my butt pounding away at a keyboard. And to just up and leave that lovely "man-cave" wasn't the easiest thing to do in my 25 years of life. Besides giving up this cat I adopted for 2 years, I miss you Diego, it wasn't my choice I promise! Anyways...

One lone bright spot, I was able to move all my belongings to the new one; but it just won't be the same. *Tear Shed* One man tear that is...

I use to sit by my Weekend counterpart Maria Oliver. Not so close these day. I normally catch myself yelling to catch her attention. Which for the most part goes ignored. I think she is sad I left, and coming to the realization the coolest person in the building is no longer a reach away. And I will give her time to come back around.

Now I want to talk about the location of this new desk. It is located in an interesting spot, very close to the Assignment Editors desk where all the news meetings happen during the day. And it can be very entertaining at times. Fire, Crime, Swine Flu stories, School Board Meetings and

I am normally the loud person around the newsroom, but I know when its time to have a meetin', its all serious business. And have acquired a "Library Voice" around that time of the day. A trait I did not have prior to the move. Go figure.

The new desk is also located in a heavy foot traffic area. It seems like everyone that works in this buildings passes my area to get to theirs. No big deal, just not use it. Hopefully I don't come off like I am complaining about peanuts. Oh well.

All in all. It was a tough move, but I am holding up. I am sure I will have these same thoughts in 15-16 months when it is time to move desks once again.
