A new start

muckefuckI am staggering through the day today--I'm doubting I'll make until five--and I'm choosing to blame a combination of sleeping poorly, getting soaked at lunchtime yesterday, and the two-day effort to declutter our workspace. It was much needed and long overdue, but also strenuous and exhausting. I tried to pay as little attention as I could to whatever nonsense my colleagues were getting up to around the corner (such as unpacking several boxes of materials which are under embargo and can't be cataloged) and focus on my own area. It looks much changed--the head of another work group asked, "What happened to all your stuff?" as he was passing through--but I feel exposed without my comforting towers of books on either side.
One of the discoveries which came from offloading a couple long-beached boxes was that there is nothing holding the access panel on the wall in place except for the desk itself; although I can see screw heads, they're clearly not attached to anything. That explains why sound travels so well up from the sub-basement; today I even felt a draught of cold air I suspect is from the same place. I also found some amusing printouts given to me by a coworker who is no longer here, but fortunately no dead vermin. Whew!
