Changin'

New things when I arrived at work yesterday:
1.  Some of the hallways have a new mint green color on the walls.  I like mint green, but it feels a little too much like a hospital or something.  Supposedly that color is supposed to be soothing.  A long, narrow hallway with 10 or 12 foot walls painted mint green all the way up with the door jambs still a medium blueish-gray color makes be kinda dizzy/sick when I walk down it.
2.  3 cube mates:  2 down, 1 to go.  As I mentioned a few months ago, one of my peers became my project leader.  When he got that job, he moved from our cube quad to the next quad over.  That left 3 of us.  Last week while I was gone one of my other cube mates was walked out the door when he took a job with a competitor.  I knew he was a bit disgruntled and was looking at different jobs internal to the company, but he was also a big talker sometimes, so I wasn't sure if he would ever do anything.  Apparently he did.  It sounded like he was going on to bigger and better things, so that's good for him.  Without him, the cube is really quiet and is starting to feel deserted.  Now we're down two engineers in our group with no reduction in the work load, so that's not so good.

Something still the same:
1.  The occasional strong tar smell that came in while they worked on the roof yesterday.

That's all I have for today.  Later.
