Even GoogleAds thinks you have a problem…

God, I love Texts From Last Night. I love them more when they’re in my Google Reader and include ads.

In case you can’t read it: It’s all a bunch of faces and I remember what the floor looked like. I LMAO, though, when I saw the Google ad beneath it. Sometimes, the Google ad placements are better than the actual texts…

Before I get into the entry proper - I love the few friends I have who took the time to point out that I posted a picture of Pony violating Moo in the same entry where I mention keeping this blog clean. Yes, yes, I did do that on purpose. Thanks for being concerned, ya’ll. You make me laugh…

Now to the juicy stuff:

One of the suggestions out of the several that were made regarding the work environment was to move out of the area I had lived in and take over Teh Intern’s Desk. There were 4 people in a tiny room, cell phones, regular phones, conversations, etc. The noise! It was ridiculous. It made it hard to concentrate on all the stuff I do. Stuff that really needs my full concentration. So I moved out over the weekend.

The silence is amazing. It’s not 100% quiet, but I’m distanced from the noise that had been driving me bonkers over the past few months. Sitting with the “cool kids” - the company I spend 99% of my time working for - was killing me. (There are other issues, of course, there are ALWAYS other issues, but the noise/proximity was a major headache. Literally.)  I miss the Boy Wonder, badly. I don’t miss the rest of it. It’s a fair trade, I guess. It’s just a desk at a job. It’s not my life, even though it tries hard to be…

We’re on Day One of this experiment, but already I feel better. LIke a huge weight is off my shoulders…
