I'm Movin' on...Well down Really...to the....West Side

Shoot, I wish I could say I was like George and Weezie, because I did change offices this week to far bigger and better, but I neither moved up (I was on the 31st floor in my old office, and am now on the 5th) nor to the East side (I was in Rosslyn--about as far East in Arlington as you can go...unless you count Crystal City or Pentagon City, but for the purpose of this blog, we'll note that I was as far east as I could be at that part of the county. I looked down onto the friggin' Potomac!! But I digress. I now moved about 2.5 miles west and am in the Virginia Square/Ballston area, back to the office building where I originally started with my company oh so many months ago).
Our whole group, who used to be split between two floors (and me at our corporate office) took over the 5th floor of this building, which meant new offices for all. So Monday was the big moving day. When I was shown my new office, I was shocked. It is so nice!! Brand new furnishings, including my super-sweet new 7-way ergonomically correct chair, window with a park view, and probably my favorite thing, lights that turn on when you walk in all make this awesome, especially for a peon like me. Oh, and did I mention it's bigger than my bedroom at home? I may just move in here.
Here are two pictures I took on Monday.

Sweet, No? I realize it's a little bare. I believe a trip to Target is in order.
So, though I will miss being able to see the monuments and Capitol Building every day, among other things, I think that the move will end up being fantastic., I don't think I'll miss the Metro ride (I'll be driving to the new office), or the feeling of being a living part of Cocoon, so I don't know how it' could get better...well, I do, but we won't talk today.
