I'm being kicked out of my office, apparently in an effort to "keep departments together." Oddly, they're not moving my boss, so our department is still a bit fractured. Joe-the-office-roomie and I are not pleased. We get along well. Now I have to face cube walls again. It doesn't inspire much confidence in one's abilities or the perception of one's contribution thus far to the company. Oh well, it appears that change is a-comin' in the company, so for all I know, this move is merely one step closer to being shoved out the door entirely again. I really can pick 'em, can't I? I seem to be a good judge of character but a bad judge of company.
My next class starts on Monday - advanced fiction workshop, part 1. Hopefully will be fun. Has anyone read Independence Day by Richard Ford? Will I like it? It's one of the required readings for this course.
I have a lunch date tomorrow, too. Karen-the-acupuncturist has set me up with an acupuncture student, who also has a background in biology, chemistry and physics, and tutors kids in the aforementioned subjects, plus math. He sounds interesting so far.
I leave you with a fun look at an inventors' convention in Geneva. Amazing the ideas people come up with.

Another move? You don't really think there's that kind of change in the air do you? Last time I talked to my ex-supervisor, she said you guys were getting more space. Who's taking your spot in that office? Is the office-mate moving, too?
There are rumors of re-orgs and buy-outs. I've been through both, and it's never pretty. Product development is hiring six more business analysts, and probably another tech writer, so one of those will probably go in my spot. Software development moved into the new space.
They are looking for a tech writer at my place! :)
If I had a tech writing background, I'd consider it.
