Someone came by last night and removed a bunch of stuff from my office. This includes my wastebasket, half a box of Girl Scout Cookies which would have been my breakfast, and a pad of paper and pen that I'd deliberately left out to continue working this morning. A whole bunch of notes on the front of that pad are going to be very hard to duplicate; I've lost several hours' work. Plus breakfast. Plus my favorite pen. I don't even know what else I'm missing.

I have zero motivation to do anything productive today. I'm just furious.

Turns out they also took the labels with which I was supposed to tag all my boxes and computer equipment. Luckily, I found some more. My best guess at this point is that the janitorial staff just swept it all into the wastebasket (before removing the wastebasket). I'm glad I didn't leave a cell phone out; they'd probably have thrown it away!

I estimate three days in the new office before I'm pretty comfy; two weeks before it feels right. I've been a contractor most of my working life, so up until now I've never really HAD more than months in one place...

You wouldn't know anything about that sorta life, would you? ;-)
