Somehow almost three months have past since I last took the time to post anything.
Today my office is moving out of the building I've been in since I started working for Evergreen (over 11 years) into a 'temporary' office (we'll be there almost 2 years) in a trailer. We were to have all of our stuff packed and ready by 8am. It is now after 3pm and they are just loading my stuff into a moving truck (to drive it down the 'walkway' and around another building to my new day-time home.)
I am sitting with my laptop on a desk that I am not taking with me, with my phone next to me and nothing else in the room besides personal paintings that I'll have to walk over. There is no one left on this side of the building, so it is nice and quiet - I wouldn't mind staying here (until the construction noise starts...) ;)
My new office is a little room in a trailer that I'll share with my student/temp employee. It'll be pretty cramped, but we've got windows that open! I am the only one in my department currently with a window and now all of our department will have windows. Some of my co-workers will be in cubicles now, though. I'm thankful I'll have a door that will shut.
Tomorrow I'll unpack some, Wednesday I'll work some and then on Thursday I'll be on a plane to Maui! I know, rough life, but someone's got to live it! I will be there for 10 days and really CAN'T WAIT!
The only bummer is that, for the first time in four years, I'll miss my annual trip to Rochester to attend a conference and misbehave with my friend Laverne. What's Laverne to do without Shirl? We'll have to meet and misbehave somewhere else soon...

Hi Susan! I finally can take a breath and write to you - sorry it has been so long. Sounds like the office move is adding stress to the work environment - I guess this is to be expected. I enjoy reading your blog b/c it feels like you are talking directly to me and I still feel like I am part of the Evergreen community (I hope that I am). As you know, I have limited opportunities to email but know that I think about you and hope you are doing well. Your friend, John
Hi John!
That's funny, I often feel like I *am* writing directly to you. ;)
And I, for one, definitely feel like you are still a part of the Evergreen community.
