Office Space

bill-lumbergh-office-space So long Office 1C13.

I have been working in the same physical building since February, 2000 and in the same office since October, 2005. Both of these are personal records for me, though the latter came to an end on Monday, when I moved offices about 15 yards across the same floor.from 1C13 to 1A32 in glorious Building 510

It turns out that several of us on Project Pittsburgh are violating the (until now unenforced) rule that states that only Managers and Band 9s and above are permitted to reside in Windowed Offices. I am a Band 8 (for life). Some additional teams are moving into our building in January and now, as my manager Michael remarked: “Your cover is blown.” As a result, me and half-dozen other peeps got unceremoniously evicted to interior Windowless Offices. Oh well, I think I’ll survive. After six years and a couple of months in the same office, I guess it is time for a change – and a move to another non-descript office with modular furniture in the same non-descript professional office building.
