Today I moved offices at work. It was bound to happen sooner or later - two weeks ago I tempted fate by bringing all my reference books in, to fill out my bookshelf a bit more. That seems to have sounded the death knell for the old office, as I've now carried everything across the CBD to find that my new desk doesn't actually have space for my books or files.

It also seems to be a temp desk, and I've been warned that other people may be using it from time to time. This morning I was asked "how many days do you need the desk for?" That was a bit of a strange question, as my answer is still "Monday to Friday, for the next two years."

Until I move again, I'm now based in the Graduate School of Business at 300 Queen Street. The whole school is moving again later in the year, when the renovations at the Emily McPherson building are complete. Who knows if I'll manage to find some space in the new building... my guess is that I'll be desk-less again by August.

I'd love even a tiny bit of certainty: knowing that when I go in to work next week, I won't find someone else sitting at the desk; and that I can reliably leave my reference stuff spread out somewhere.

thats really crap! is it because of reno's? they should definitely offer permanent, quiet space for research, i'd get the postgrad rep/students association onto it. i am sure its not just you with that dilemma, so they should accomodate their phd students better.

good luck!

I _really_ hope Margaret comes through for you on this one. I would hate to be disappointed in her. She is usually pretty good about this sort of thing.
