Journey to the East

...of the building...

*blinks*

I have a new computer. And an office.

The computer's been on order for three months now, but I've been working at this desk since 2000. One person at work has left, and the others are worried about losing his room to another project... so I'm finally moving out of the shared workspace I've been in for five years. It's odd. The new office is also the Room Of Doom though - whenever someone moves out of the project, they come out of that room. Looks like an omen to me.

In other news, I sprained my ankle fairly dramatically just before getting on the train this morning. The "CRACK" sound was loud enough to punch right through the music in my headphones, up at full volume. I bought a new compression bandage after hobbling off the train, and have my foot up on a spare chair for a while. I don't rate my chances at getting down the stairs and off to the shops for lunch... this looks like being a hungry afternoon, as I've eaten everything in hopping range.

I went to Neil Gaiman's talk at the State Library last night, and really enjoyed it. He's a natural storyteller, and gives good (long, thoughtful) answers to audience questions. He also read a few sections of Anansi Boys, which I'll be buying a copy of after I pick up a copy of the Stardust graphic novel.

Now I need to work out how I can move office and set up a PC without putting any weight on one foot. Perhaps a wheelie chair is in order...

You keep comin' back again
You keep comin' back for more...

Found it :) Two doors up, out in the hall. I think it used to be a single large room which got divided up.

The window really does make a difference, too.
