History in the making
Minor history, but still history. My office is all packed and the movers will start hauling everything off tonight. Tomorrow only my pc and the bare furniture will be here. At 1 PM we are supposed to turn off the computers and leave. Monday morning we will report at another location, just a couple of blocks away (and one block away from my place!). Theoretically we will stay in the new office for a few years while the main building gets a much needed overhaul but I am convinced we will stay away for good. As excited as I always am about change, and this time is no exception, I know I will miss being in the midst of the action. It was amazing to be having lunch surrounded by indigenous people dressed in traditional garb, in from all over the world for a meeting in NY. Or walking around among people with all kinds of disabilities here to discuss a convention. Or the opening of the General Assembly with Presidents and dignitaries from all over. Or even just a regular day. It felt like NY inside NY, the most diverse of workplaces. I've asked my colleagues to take pictures, load of pictures, so I can make a photo book for us, but I don't want to get overly nostalgic. I have been here for 10 years now. Time to move out and on.
By the way, this is my first post on posterous. It's supposed to post to my blogger blog and to twitter and facebook. Go!
