A Love Story

My favorite blogger (here) wrote a book about her love story with a cowboy. I think most women who have read it (she first posted most of the book on her blog) end up hoping they will someday marry a cowboy and live on a ranch in Oklahoma.

Anyway, I had a coupon for the book store and free shipping so I ordered the book. Ironically my roommate comes into my room last night and tells me she has a book I have got to read...the very same one I purchased like 6 hours earlier.

So I'll probably have the book read by the time mine arrives...but it's definitely worth more than one read.

To Move or Not to Move

That is the question...

I have been in the same cube for 3 years (that's actually sort of a long streak for me). The woman two cubes down just got a promotion and is moving to an enclosed office-with a door. The upscale working she'll be able to do there...well too upscale to mention. So, her cube is available and being the senior (in years in the job not in years of life) Specialist I am I have been offered the opportunity to move 2 cubes down (or up I never know which word to use there).

Pro: it's a cube with a view
Con: the view might be distracting

Pro: it has lots more windows
Con: people can really see how messy my cube gets based on the abundance of windows

Pro: it's closer to Eleanor's chocolate
Con: it's closer to Eleanor's chocolate

Pro: it's farther from the main hallway action
Con: I might miss the action

Pro: it's the same distance to the printer
Con: Eleanor's chocolate is no the way to the printer now

Pro: I'd be able to yell at Jared over the cube
Con: It would no longer be appropriate to yell at Wendy

Pro: A new fresh environment might motivate me to keep things clean and tidy
Con: People coming to see me won't be able to find me (maybe that should be a pro and con)

I can't decide...to move or not to move. But today I'm sort of leaning toward move.
