This is the Move That Never Ends........

It just goes on and on my friends. Someone started moving things many years ago, and they'll keep on moving things forever just because this is the move that never ends. It just goes on and on my friends.

It is a sad sad time for IT people when a move occurs. People who have changed printers 30 times in the last 2 years suddenly realize that they have 15 printer cables behind their desk and dump them on mine. It is impossible to move as an IT person because of the shear volume of garbage that suddenly materializes. This morning I was greeted by a series of manuals, backup tapes, and boxes for hardware and software for a server that was retired 4 years ago. The stuff was given to me by a person who used to change out the backup tapes. Packrat!

My office is clean and my cubicle awaits! Yay! I can't wait to be in a completely non-private environment where people don't even need to come to any particular opening to greet me, they can simply peak their head over any wall they want. It will be entertaining to have 56" cube walls.

If you've seen the commercial with the guy on vacation watching the gophers pop up and down while picturing people in his office popping up and down in their cubes, that's what my office will be like. In fact, I have an Inflatable Hammer of Doom that I got from an IT convention, complete with squeaker and a bell inside. I intend to play Whack-a-Mole with office personnel in their new Cubes of Demorilization. I wonder fi they'll make the proper squeaky noises.
