Yesterday I had to move to another cubicle here at work.  I packed up the three or four books I use here at work, my files, phone, computer, monitor, various desktop organizers, Kimwipes, CDs, cans of Coke, Jolly Ranchers, and other various items and carried them across the office to my new desk.  I wasn't too put out by this, even though I had to go through various doors, all of which swung in the wrong direction (from my perspective), to get to my new desk.  The thing that irked me was the fact that while I had to carry all of my stuff, everyone else had carts to use to move their stuff on.  And none of the engineers were allowed to move their own computers, for liability reasons should they drop it, but I was specifically told that I had to move my own computer.  When I asked if I would be liable if I dropped it, I was told that "It's best if you don't worry about that." To me, that statement is open to a number of interpretations, some which aren't so good for me.  Fortuantely, I didn't drop my computer.  All told, I was not too happy by the time I get set up at my new desk, so to spite the people who forced me to move, I didn't do any work for the remaining 2.5 hours before the day ended.  (Of course, I couldn't think of any new designs for the webpage I was working on, and that may have contributed to my decision to browse the 'net for inspiration.)

In other, happier news TigerDirect finally emailed me the tracking number for my monitor.  I'm expecting it to arrive today.  If you'd like to join with me in checking on the package status every five minutes, click here.

I've been thinking about writing some reviews of some of the online stores I frequent.  Time premitting I may throw a review of the dirty and vile TigerDirect later tonight.  (Tiger is not actually dirty and vile, just irritating and frustrating.)
