Day 1

Well, if you're wondering where I spend 8 hours out of my day Monday-Friday....here it is. Looking at this picture now I should probably put something up on that back wall other than an old 24 Hour Fitness schedule from August 2009...and below it another from December 2009 (you can tell the months when I was really motivated to work out....but we'll save that for another post). As you can see from the picture I have one laptop and a second monitor. Yeah, it's that intense. Next you'll notice I have one cell phone and...what do you call phones these days if they're not cell phones? Well, I have one of those other phones too. A third phone is taking the picture, obviously of the cellular type. In approximately 20 days I have worked here for 2 years. Not in this exact spot though. This is actually my 3rd cube. In the basement. Or what they like to call "First Floor". I typically don't see daylight for 7 hours out of the day. If I stand up and turn to my right, about 20 feet down the row is a window. But that's about it. Some days I walk in with the sun up and then walk out pouring rain thinking "what the hell?".

Right now the cube directly across from me is empty. Alex used to sit there, we were "cubemates" for a year and a half before she left. It's hard to find good cubemates these days. Whoever sits there next has some big shoes to fill...and they certainly won't be able to place anything on the wall until I approve. If you're wondering what "the wall" is, let me fill you in. The wall is a common ground between those that sit between it. It was a gradual process for me and Alex. We slowly accumulated random things then would proudly display them on the wall. The little homies were Alex's that she left with me. Lucky me. The ghost and duck and other weird thing with a spring were things that were placed on our desks one Halloween and I'm pretty sure we still don't know who they were from. The stapler is non-functioning, it's just there to add some class.
