My Office Is Moving

So - tomorrow is the big moving day for AE...they have been in this suite on the Country Club Plaza (in MO) for 10 years now. I have been here for 6.5 years of that 10. We are moving to 107th and Mission (in KS) tomorrow. I'm really glad we are moving; and even happier that all of my "affairs" will be in KS. No more 1% of my income City of KC!!!

I get to be closer to work AND get a 1% raise...gotta love that.

The best part is...I get an OFFICE! Yes, an office with an actual door. I'm sooooo excited. My last job I had a nice, big office but made no money at all....so when I quit there and started working here, I made more money but immediately went to an out in the open desk. A few years later we had some fancy "cubes" built and I am in one of those. I have a real desk, a nice leather chair and 3 walls....but no door and no privacy. I am being given the smallest office in the suite....but that really doesn't bother me ... I'm grateful I even get one since I work PT. I have gotten all of my "decor" ready at home....a few paintings and some framed pictures. I've gotta get my new digs looking sharp!

So- as I sit in a sea of packed/1/2 packed and in progress boxes ....tape...labels...and "who get's what" conversations....I can take a moment to reflect on my time here at AE, and realize how lucky I am to be a part of such a great company. I've enjoyed working on the Plaza tremendously ...and it's helped me to get to know a part of town that I never knew before. I'll never ...never drive by One Ward Pkwy. again without thinking of all the good memories I have in this building.
