office move

I transferred offices, or rooms as they call it in Israel, today. I graduated to a bigger office with more desk space on the new 5th floor of our building. The problem is that my back is still towards the door. I hate sitting with my back to the door. For one, you never know if someone is going to walk in and shoot you in the back. That has always been a concern for me. The second issue is that people walk by your office they can see what is on your computer, so you have to constantly make sure that only the appropriate stuff is on your computer screen. So I'm relegated to blogging and reading the news during lunch. I like to go over some daf yomi during lunch, but recently we've been having construction and I can't hear the guy on the Internet go over the daf with all the racket. My new office is right next to my boss's office, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. There may be some status in this new move, such as moving up to the executive floor, but I don't know if it can be quantified as that yet.

Most of the important things have already been taken care of on the new floor, such as a well stocked fridge in the kitchen. The kids have a small office with a computer and cable tv has not been hooked up up yet on this floor. I've only brought a kid to work once, because she had a dr appt in the area right after, it's good that we have a very child friendly environment.

Why can't you just move your desk?

My desk takes up 2 complete walls of the office and is not movable.
Also this is philosophically how they like it.

Why am i not suprised? ;-)

DAG said...

Heidi, it could be from a girl scorned by the Rock of galilee family!

Heidi said...

Im confused by your comment Dag. Are you implying that I was scorned?

You must not be up-to-date on the ROG family history.

My comment was simply implying that sometimes ROG can be a little rambunctious.

DAG said...

Not you, necc, Heidi, but on of the Myriads ROG implies there were

Heidi said...

gotcha DAG. I am sure in ROG's lifetime he has encountered several people who could be possible suspects.

DAG said...

All of them women, Heidi?

rockofgalilee said...

not personally. I dated one girl in my life, her name is Mrs. Rock of Galilee.

heidi, dag was referring to a previous post where we talked about the demographics of visitors, not to you specifically. We still don't think of you as a brother's ex-girlfriend. We just think of that as a mistake.

DAG said...

You only dated one girl? Didn't play the field?

rockofgalilee said...

didn't play anything.
Found the right girl, married her before she realized what she was getting into and 8 years later we're still happy.

DAG said...

8 years later and she still doesn't know what she got into?

rockofgalilee said...

she claims to be very satisfied with what she got herself into.

DAG said...

Yes, but how mnay did she date? Did she what was out there for her?
