I will miss my office -- I've really had a lot of leeway to put up pictures and have piles of weird equipment around which has been fun (hmm, maybe that's why I'm back in the corner of the storage room...) but seriously, it's been a pretty central hub of my life for the last six years. Looking around at the walls, the redvinegar posters, pictures of alh, memories. It's been nice to have a "space" that was my own. When I first started working here I didn't really think about why that was cool. But the older I've gotten and the more I've understood what other people's work environments are like, the more I've come to appreciate it. On the other hand, I've probably gone a little too crazy and filled it up with too much junk -- it's perpetually a disaster which does, as much as I hate to admit it, cut down on productivity and increase distractions.

Another thing about my office that I hate (and won't miss) is the terrible carpet in here. It is flat and gray and torn and dusty. It is so incredibly worn out it's really almost not there. I think the main reason we haven't repaced it is that it would just be such a huge pain in the butt... but seriously, it's awful. I realize that's not such a big thing to not miss, but I'm not feeling very creative today.
