The past few days I have been moving from one office to another. That’s one of the fine things about working. There comes a time that change is made for better or worse and with that is necessitated moving. Such was my lot this past week.
First thing to move was my computer. In some places one moves to a new place and a computer comes with the space. In my case, I have had the same computer for a long span of years (yes years). I like my old computer. It does what I need it to do. It is set up the way I want it set up with the software I want on it set up the way that I want it. It runs great. I keep it well maintained. (And yes, it runs Diskeeper).
Well moving the computer went smoothly. So smoothly, I decided to add a second monitor. That went quickly but I found that I did not like the how the second monitor displayed (too dark). I got some fast help from our hardware guy and the next thing I knew, I had a new video card in my system. This was fine with me as I did not like the previous video card.
Now the dual monitors are displaying much more to my liking. However, I have now burned a day in the process. I still had all my other stuff to bring over. An now I learned something. We print way too many things especially when we want to pass it on to another. I swear I had a mile of paper sitting here and there. I have no idea how it all fit in such a small space. After getting rid of 7/8ths of a mile of paper, I proceeded to move my 1/8th of a mile paper along with my sponge brain, my wind-up robot dogs, a bowl of candy, and various other items of equal significance to my new office.
Now I had to direct the building guy on where to hang my plaques, certificates, cork board and white board. He got the cork board up and had to run off to handle an emergency.
Meanwhile, I now have my assortment of toys, equipment, supplies and of course my 1/8th mile of paper to put away. I quickly saw that the important papers I brought, perhaps were not so important. So now I am going through this pile of paper and I manage to get it down to 1/32nd of a mile of paper. Wowie! (the shredding company is going to earn their money the next time they are here.)
So I sort everything. File everything. Arrange everything. I am now in business. Again!
However, I notice that for some reason, I have fewer toys that before. Bummer! Yeah, I have work to do, but my to-do list contains in it one important item. Get more toys.
Want your old computer to run as well as mine?
