It’s an absolutely gorgeous day outside today; the sun is shining, the birds are chirping and the flowers are blooming. So what am I doing? Getting a green tan from fluorescent lights. Such is the life of an engineer I suppose, especially when you work in laboratory buildings with no windows. The price you pay for being a math nerd…
Although I should mention that today is a good day because I’m finally moving into a permanent cubicle in my building. I just got to move into the building with my coworkers a few months ago (it’s very hard to find space in our building) after sitting in a temporary trailer for almost a year. And now my new cubicle is finally vacated and ready for me to move in. It’s actually a pretty sweet cubicle, I think even Dilbert would be slightly green with envy. It has a big wrap around desk, high walls and a sliding door! That’s right, a door! It’s so swank, I love it. And my favorite feature? The giant whiteboard! I love whiteboards so much, I’ve contemplated putting huge ones in every room of my house. You could brainstorm anywhere!
Ahem. Anyway, I’m super happy about having a permanent workspace now, because boy has it been a long wait! But you didn’t come here to hear about my obsessive love of whiteboards did you? You want all the details about the yarny goodness sitting in my home office!
How’s this teaser for you?
The Yarn Nerd shop update will be this Monday, April 23, at 8 AM MDT. There’s lots of goodness to be had, including the lovely new color pictured above. That’s all the details I’ll give here on the blog, so you’ll have to come to the Yarn Nerd site on Monday to check it all out. And if you’re a newsletter subscriber, I’ll be sending out a more detailed announcement with a few more juicy details. I can’t wait, this is going to be a good update!
I hope you have a great weekend, and that it’s filled with some fun and fiber! I’m going to do some yardwork tonight (got to get the sprinklers up and going!), lounge around tomorrow (serious knitting time baby!) and do some homework on Sunday (no fun, but Viterbi Algorithm simulations don’t write themselves). I think it should be a relaxing weekend on average, so I’m looking forward to it.
Catch you later peeps!
Congrats on the new digs! Enjoy!
You have a door on your cube?!?! I might have to hate you, just on principle…
Yay for a dedicated work space! And the yarn is soooo tempting…lovely color combos!
You mean there are people without an obsessive love of whiteboards? Are you going to celebrate the new space by purchasing an awesome multicolor dry erase marker pack? Congratulations!
That yarn is gorgeous- I can’t wait to see all of the new stuff!
What? You don’t have giant whiteboards in your house? :) They’re so nice. Especially if you have kids over that like to draw on walls. :)
Posted about your update on the L&V messageboard so be warned. The L&V Etsy update today went fast.
I know they make blackboard paint, do they make whiteboard paint? On 11-1 last year I put up pics of my old space and the new, in a newly rehabbed victorian mental institution (ok, I know that’s not at all pc, but it is a creepy old campus). No cubbies! We didn’t have them before, but we were cramped in a small old house. Now everybody (but a couple of us, and me by choice) has their own office. With a window (I get a wall and a half of window!) and a door. I think the place used to be the dentistry building. Some folks saw the old equipment before it was cleared out…dentist chairs with restraining straps. (creepy gulag like pics on 12-8 post)
a SLIDING door on a cubicle; how jealous do you think i am? er, oh yeah, i work at HOME. in my sweats.
sorry, i just had to . . . actually, i would love a sliding door around my knitting chair.
Aw, come on! Without a whiteboard at home, how on earth are you going to plan out your next knitting project?
You crack me up!!! You didn’t tell everyone about the time you bought the gi-normus white board at Lowes. If I recall it was so big it wouldn’t fit into your car, and you had to go back in to Lowe’s and return it. Don’t worry I’m sure there will be plenty of white boards in heaven…
