The head of the department has a lovely African violet plant sitting on her bookcase. It’s been blooming its little head off.

Musical Cubicles
My Window
I was hoping that, when one of my coworkers retired, I would be able to upgrade to her cubicle. It’s in the back of the room, by the window, so it’s nice and quiet. Unfortunately, someone with more seniority than I requested it, so it went to her. That meant that her cube was up for grabs, though.
At first, I was tempted to stay put, because the move would put me closer to the serials department, and they are a rowdy bunch. However, I decided that the pros outweighed the cons, so this afternoon, we played musical cubicles. (This is not a fun game, by the way, as it involves the moving of approximately a brazillion books.)
After getting somewhat settled, I decided that the view from my new cubicle is actually better than that from the coveted cubicle, so I’m glad things worked out this way. Now, if the sun ever comes out again, I’ll be able to see it!
I learned something today, Kyle…
If you like to burn tea lights (and I do), then be careful not to put the dish containing them on top of your television. Like I did. Because, if you do, you might find that they melt the teevee. Apparently, heat + plastic = meltiness. Who knew?!
Allergies, I Hates Them
My eyes have been burning ever since I got to work this ayem. Ugh. There’s something toxic in the air here, but I don’t know what it is. With the way the ventilation in this building works, it could be someone painting in the basement or on the 10th floor. Burning eyes and runny nose? It must be happydamnMonday!
Oh, great, now I’m coughing. Maybe I’ll be lucky and this’ll be a harbinger of the plague? Kill me now!
