Moving Offices

Just about every six months the powers that be at my company decide they have a better idea of where I should sit. Yes, one of the two CEO's at my company likes to work on the seating plan. I know, it seems so crazy.

Well, he has decided I need to go in the office affectionately know as the "Fishbowl". It is called the "Fishbowl" because it has windows on two sides; the front and back of the office. Now, it is a very nice office. It has great light and sunshine abounds, but there is one small problem. The "Fishbowl" is about 1/4 of the size of my current office.

I am HR. I have many huge filing cabinets. I can only take one into the "Fishbowl". I have no way to consolidate. My extra filing cabinets will need to be moved to a hallway. It will be so convenient.

Also, the "Fishbowl" may not be the best place for difficult conversations. Hey Johnny, come on in the "Fishbowl" and let everyone in the office watch as you get fired, disciplined, spoken to, cry about your life, etc. Maybe not the best place.

But, despite all of the inconvenience it will make my bosses life easier and I will finally get some natural light, so I guess I can't complain too much.
