Evening 1 of the Office Re-org completed

[pseydtonne]

I did nothing last night to clean the apartment. I sprawled onto my clean couch, started reading Slashdot and then passed out with the laptop on my belly.

Tonight the couch is a complete mess. Actually, there's room to sit if I toss the pillows off the one cushion. I'm sitting in the lounge chair instead. I need to sort everything into categories and empty three decent-sized cardboard boxes before I can move anything back into the office. I may also need to empty the office closet first and figure out the fate of those items.

In contrast, I just vacuumed the floor of the office for the first time since August. I closed the office's closet door for the first time in more months. I can even close the office door. The office floor is a wide space. I still can't move any furniture around the office because there is too much on top of the desk I want to move. Once I'm done, it'll be impressive.

It's hard to describe the previous version of the mess. In fact, it's better if you just see the photographs I've taken of the present state of the mess. These photos need to be scaled first but I'll post them on my web site some time before Friday. I've even taken a picture of the famed silverboard so that you can get an idea of the project map.

This temporary mess is worth it. It'll suck having to sort the stuff tomorrow. However, there is a plan to it so I have a way to know when I'm done. I can see progress happening. I can even see myself getting the rebuild of graciana's dad's old computer into a box again. (Hey, graciana: would it be okay if I put some slightly newer parts together and said it was the old box? I don't think he'd be able to use the result otherwise.)

I just wanted to report from the effort and say hello before I went to bed. Bed has been earned this evening.

-that looks a lot like me snoring in the near future, Dante

office re-org

Dante, Dante, Dante. You don't have a livejournal so you can tell us office cleaning drama...oh, no, wait...okay, that is why you have a livejournal. Good to see that the years since Bingoland have been treating you relatively all right, though. I am doing relatively all right myself. Although I have to live in the motherfuckin' Mojave desert in order to collect a paycheck...what the fuck. Okay, I'm suckin'. Given those scant clues it's obviously impossible to tell that it is I, Adam Closson, your junior year floormate in Hinman, and believe it or not I even forget the goddamn building name. I am currently a researcher at the Navair (and that is Naval Air Warfare to you, buddy) facility in Ridgecrest, California. Believe me, I wouldn't have taken this job...except it was the only job. Times are tough in the sciences, let me tell you. I was actually able to live in Stockholm for two years (2002-2004) though, so I guess this is only my punishment for availing myself of the godless hedonistic ways of the europeans. Feel free to email me at aclossonca@yahoo.com. Hey, how much more spam will I get from this? Ah, fuck it, it can't be that much more than I get now. So, uh, congrats on attaching yourself to a much more advanced piece of civilization than I've managed (for now)...I'm very jealous and only wish that I had your success. I'm doing my best to get myself to the east coast, as I define civilization as "Northeast USA and Northern Europe only". And okay, on a good day "plus seattle, portland, major canadian cities, and possibly san fran although that's usually too much." Ha det gott!
