Office Space

Although I shared some photos on facebook, I never got a chance to talk about my new office space. I had been in the same location for 15 years, ever since we moved into the annex in February of 1995. In fact, just a few months, later, I discovered I was pregnant with Connor. In March of this year, my employer decided to hire some new employees and what that, those employees were going to need a place to call their own.

I had been wanting to make a location change for a while for a couple different reasons, but every time I broached the subject with the appropriate people, it didn't seem like it was going to happen. We had a space in other area of the office that I felt would be perfect for me, so again, determined female that I am, approached the boss and gave her my reasons why this move would benefit the office, asking her to hear my out before making a decision. My approach worked because she said yes this time. Because I was going to move, there was going to be some shuffling of people out in the case management area, so we all needed to coordinate with each other and our IT department so we could get computers, scanners and telephones moved.

















Since moving, it's put a whole new perspective on my job. It's quieter, I can concentrate better and I like having a window. Hopefully I can stay here for the remainder of my career....7 years, 6 months and a smattering of days. :)
