Today was the big moving day at work. We had everything packed up on Friday at the old place, and today everything was supposed to be set up and ready to go at the new place. It was also the first day I was riding the bus to work.
The bus stops at 9:25 or 9:55, and I was aiming for the 9:55 bus, but worried about finding exactly where the bus stop was, so I left really early. Not quite early enough to catch the 9:25 bus, but early enough that I waited for 20 minutes to get on the 9:55 bus, which was a few minutes late getting there, anyhow. I must have just missed the earlier bus.
So the bus ride was fine. I was a bit disoriented when I got off the bus, but soon found the building that I knew was ours, went in and asked (I know some of you will be surprised by this, but there was no other option) how to get to the other building, and got very good directions and was able to find my new office with no trouble!
After that, I unpacked, which was quick and easy, and spent a fun 30 minutes wrangling network cords which had all been set up incorrectly, and doing other headache-inducing tasks that involved crawling under the desk and plugging and unplugging things.
I'm all set up now, though, and I'm getting ready to go downstairs and get some Starbucks. I probably shouldn't, but I feel like I really deserve it after successfully riding the bus AND setting up my new office.
