cube

I mentioned on Friday that I needed to begin organizing and purging files around the office before the move/ switch- but that's not all I have to do in preparation for next session. I have to pack up (and clean the crumbs from) my entire cube as well as my Reps offices because we have to move down 2 floors. My Reps offices and file cabinets are all packed up- in fact they have already been painted, and the new Rep has moved into one of them. Which means that now I have to focus on getting my stuff packed so I am ready to go at a moments notice. 

This got me a little sentimental about my cube. It was my first "real job" desk, and even though at first it was a nuisance to be isolated from other staffers, it proved to be in the perfect spot (perfect because it was right between both of my Reps' offices which meant we could all shout from our desks, and perfect because I could listen to music without having to use headphones because I had no coworkers nearby); it was the place I learned how to respond to constituent emails and request drafts of legislation; where I ate lunch almost every day for the past two years and where I hid Winston when I didn't want to leave him at home.

And so, to document these memories, and to share with you all who haven't seen where I work, I give you pictures of my cube. Most days it was not this messy (remember I am purging through everything I/ my two Reps accumulated in the last 2-6 years), so bear that in mind (some busy days may have gotten a little out of hand, similar to these pics though).

 

I'm sure gonna miss it up here on the 5th floor, but I am excited to see where my new space will be and to have a freshly cleaned and organized (and decorated) cube. And if all goes well, in 2 years, I'll be back up here.
