Not a whole lot, as it happens. It was colder and rainier that the rest of the week has been, but largely indistinguishable in most other respects. We&#8217;re getting close to the final hour at the office, today being our last full day there, and everything I&#8217;m taking with me to my new work station is in a crate on its way over there now. (Possibly, it&#8217;s all already there.) Tomorrow is a half day, mostly for people who have yet to finish packing, and after that we&#8217;ll never see the old place again.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not really going to miss it. I&#8217;ve worked in this building, now, for just shy of seven years, and we could do with a change. I&#8217;m not thrilled with the idea of an open plan layout, or by what it does to my commute, but I won&#8217;t miss the constant fire alarms or the tile falling off the bathroom wall. (The latter is a recent occurrence, as the office has gone full <i>House of Usher<\/i> on us, falling apart as we leave; the former, however, has been constant, almost every day, for at least the last three or four years. These are some seriously well-tested fire alarms.) It will be an adjustment, some of which I&#8217;m resigned to because &#8212; well, because I have to be &#8212; but most of which I&#8217;m genuinely looking forward to. If only because we&#8217;ve been talking about moving for months and now we&#8217;re finally, on Monday, doing it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What can you say about a Thursday, this one in particular?
