I've really got the moving bug. This is bad. I know we can't move. It wouldn't be financially smart to move. Nonetheless I find myself looking at photos of peoples' homes on Flickr and thinking 'I could so be living there right now'. What's funny is I have no idea where 'there' is. For all I know there could be gangsters in the streets and crack hos on every corner. If I could move I'd live in "_________". Now all I need to do is fill in the blank. Oy.

I just saw the new desk I will have to move to once we hire the third person. It's down the hall. Waaaay down the hall. You open the door and there I am, like some sort of annoyed greeter. This is just too fucked up. She went over to show me and had this 'I know this really sucks' look on her face. She tried to make it sound better by sayind she'd ask for a higher cubicle wall so people didn't have immediate eye contact when they walked through the door. Lovely. Now I'm going to be freaked out by strangers peering over the top like some freaky Kill-Roy homage.

I dont wanna move! My boss just told me that the new supervisor is taking over my spot and I have to move to outside of her office. I am so not pleased. It's not the sitting outside her office part that bugs me, it's the sitting outside her office WITH NO ONE AROUND that I hate. At least when I want to talk I had my friend on the one side of me and the three ladies from the other department on the other side. Now I have to go over to even say hi... and of course I can't talk shit about my boss because she's right behind me. :p

Today is the last day working in Westwood. It's been my second home for nearly 18 years. Onward to the new jobsite. After the layoffs, reorganization of our department and my job duty changes I finally feel like there's an end in sight to this stressful period of my life.

I'm really nervous about what it's going to be like in the new area. I think the last day is going to be the hardest. I'm worried that I won't be able to get there in time, that the new place will have people hell bent on bitching about everything and that I won't be able to even go online during breaks.

I want to thank my friends who supported me through these times and understood my need for space. I can't tell you how much that meant to me. Sometimes the best friends are those who can sit quietly with you, and not have to speak. I knew you guys (and gals) were there and it meant the world. *hugs*

Next week is the big move at work, so we've been packing up our offices. This guy came in with a huge barrel and people tossed garbage in it. The downside to all this is that I am allergic to dust. No really... So I've been stuffed up, my nose has been bleeding and I'm sneezing all over the place. Sexy, eh? This morning I let out a sneeze that got Jake and the cats. There's nothing like sharing bodily fluids with the ones you love. :D

I have a coworker that is always talking about how broke she is. When we found out that our jobsite was moving she freaked. "I can't afford to pay ANOTHER penny! That's too much gas with no compensation." After chiding her for being dramatic 48 yrs old and in such dire straits she backed down and said that maybe she was exaggerating a little. Ya think? *rolls eyes*

I stopped feeling bad for her when she started showing off the pictures of the two purebred dogs and purebred cat that she had. There are dogs and cats being put to death every day that need homes. She was even looking into a weekend job to try and help pay off her credit card debts. Buying three animals that costs HUNDREDS of dollars each should have been the LAST thing she thought of doing.

She's also the last hired in our department, and most likely the first to go come May. She's even said that she expects it. She told me she was looking for another job... right before she left early to board her three animals at a kennel for 7 days (around $238) so she could go on vacation with her girlfriend. No, really....
