A New Climate
Forecast for 2006: Above normal temperatures with a 90% chance of reactive storm cells and an occasional ray of sunlight.
Now that we've been in the new office for more than just a few days, I can safely say that my winter wardrobe is going to have to change. Normally I would wear one of my 7 ribbed turtleneck sweaters each day, mixing it up with a twinset or button-down maybe once a week, but I've found that it's far too hot to wear them here. Maybe my thermometer is broken because it has read 80 degrees every day this week. My neighbor was nice enough to loan me her small fan, but I still end up wearing twinsets and peeling off the cardigan an hour after I arrive. At least the air quality is better.
As much as we joked about the vision in the IT division, I really miss its emphasis on proactivity. I'm feeling very rushed and reactive here, and I get the feeling that's the norm.
But I do have beautiful arched windows to look at when the curtains are open, and there are more opportunities for me to do some design work here. And who can't use a little portfolio expansion every now and then?
