Moved & Surviving (Just)

Its now Thursday & this week has been so busy but its actually been better than what i expected.

Monday was absolutely the most horrendous day. I just knew it was going to be a bad day. I firstly tripped up the train station stairs & dropped my plates for use at work. When I arrived at work I placed my coffee on my desk & then when I came back it had spilt all over the desk. I then had to clean up the mess at my lovely new workstation & then unpacked & had to rearrange my desk as everything was on the opposite side to my previous workplace. So by the time I changed everything there were cords going everywhere. There were lots of complaints from the office, but hey it was the first working day of the month and in accounts you need to balance for month-end. That was our priority. Although completely out of wack with everything we managed to balance by midday. Awesome team work, thats what its all about. I had to have my headphones in all morning as it was so noisy in the office & I just couldn't focus. Points I really hated on day 1 were
* could hear every word everyone spoke in the staff room as it has this huge echo sound.
* mobile pedestal cabinet is not as practical as previous ones. Only have 1 top draw & 1 filing draw
* very noisy with all the sales staff & open plan.
* cupboard space is very small, probably about half of what we had before & at floor level so will get sore back.
* no eating at desks. Had to eat lunch out as staff room smelt terrible.

Tuesday was such a strange day. Managed to rearrange my desk and organise some structure in my draws. I was so relieved. Was a constructive day. We managed to unpack the majority of our boxes so that they could be returned to the packers and everyone was asking about the stationery cupboards. During the day I managed to get something completely confused, that been a specific type of screw that is used to hold a desk I bought from work together. Now I was sure that is was a "Camel Screw" but in actual fact it is a "Cam lock". If you want to google the camel screw definition you are most welcome to but I have no idea how I got it mixed up. Today I also met "Sam" one of my work colleagues fish he bought for the office. Even though we have these 4m x 3m desks I've managed to fill most of the desk. Its really amazing but in working it out I probably had the same space I had at my our old office.

Wednesday was an ordinary day, but it was a quiet day (noise wise) in the office. We finished unpacking all our boxes. State of origin in the evening. QLD managed to lose to NSW 18-4 but after withstanding some pretty horrific injuries to pretty key players that will affect Storm, Broncos & Sharks teams.

Thursday been today I decided to bring in some posters to put in our personal lockers, as we're not allowed to place anything on our lovely new partitions. So I brought in a calender & couple of photos/pictures that I really like of some rugby league players. It was kinda fun putting them up this morning, just like been a bit of a kid again.

Tomorrow is Friday. Friday is usually a day at work when most people will be in the office. It will be noisy so I will probably just have to put my headphones in my ears & listen to my zen v+ most of the day.
