Move day at work
Places I've worked since we've been in Minnesota (12 years)
- NOC (Norwest Operations Center). Lower Level 3. June '96 until approx. October
- NOC, moved to 1st floor. (Trust programmer)
- 100 Washington (forgot the floor but I think 15 or 16). Trust department moved
- NOC, LL3. Changed jobs
- NOC, LL3 .. moved location
- 111 Washington (forgot the floor, but I think it was 11th. I had a window!
- 111 Washington (2nd floor). Our company quit leasing my previous floor. This was a great location as it was on the skyway and just a short walk to coffee, haircut, etc
- Reorg: New boss. He wanted me to move but my back was bothering me and I was able to stay.
- New job: I moved to the NOC floor 1. (2 years)
- New job (2 years ago): I moved to 100 Washington again - 14th floor (this is where i am now)
- Tomorrow is my last day at 100 Washington. I need to do final pack out
- Wednesday, back to the NOC (now called the Northern Operations Center). Floor 1 again
That's (if I have this right) 12 different places in 12 years!
How many different computers have I had? Basically I get a new PC every 2 years. My first PC at work was a Windows 3.1.1 ... later Windows 95 (daily reboot!). The first decent Windows workstation was Windows NT (back in '99). I had Windows NT for many years until Windows XP 4 years ago.
My best location: 111 Washington on (I think) the 11th floor. I was there on 9/11 when the entire floor evacuated at noon. I stayed there alone until 2 because I could not get an earlier bus. It was weird. My worst locations: 1.) Several times in high traffic areas that were noisy. Once by a guy who cussed up a storm; 2.) 111 Washington 2nd floor: We had mice.
Tomorrow will not be a productive day as I will be packing. After hours tomorrow they will move me (should be about 8 boxes, 2 desktop PC's, 1 laptop, 1 printer). Wednesday I will be in my new location - the 3rd time on the 1st floor of the NOC.
