tugrikI've identified one of my guilty-pleasures, workwise.
One of the perks of being an enterprise-level network designer is having first rights to any new space we acquire. I'm the guy who lays out all the power, data and voice connections; the prime non-furniture infrastructure. When the design is on its first legs and just becoming functional I'm the first one to move in and use it. This has happened for just about every company I've worked for in the last 6 years. Each time I got to spend anywhere from a few days to a few weeks being the only person in a new office floor or building.
It's just happened again. I'm sitting here typing to you on a wireless laptop, laid out across the floor, in a nice sunbeam coming in the southern-facing windows. Brand new everything, but no furniture yet. I can play my music, dance, or just sit quietly and read. The stillness lets me do a day of work within an hour or two, and the rest of the time is mine. Now and then a curious employee might poke his head in to see what their new space will be like, and I'm all too glad to growl and scare them out. Important network setup to be done. Out withya!
This is my building, you see. Tug's space. Keep out. *huff* *snort*
I love that. :)
