Today is our first day at the new Yahoo building. There was much controversy about who was going to move across the street. Personally, I don’t care. The buildings look nearly identical inside. <\/p>\n
Some first impressions:<\/p>\n
– Something’s weird with the floor. My monitor is constantly bouncing.
\n– I have a window cube now, which is nice, but my cube needs to be reconfigured so my back isn’t to the window and I don’t get all the glare on my monitor.
\n– My commute is about 30 seconds shorter. Woo hoo!
\n– I got a full-sized parking spot very close to the building. That never happened at the old building.
\n– My cell phone appears to get better reception here.
\n– The conference room computers look new, which mean they may actually work. Wow.
\n– The conference rooms on the first floor are named after Gilligan’s Island castaways: “Ginger, Maryann, SS Minnow, etc’.
\n– The second floor rooms are “in” names like “competent”, “appropriate” and even “conitent”. I’ve got to think of a work arrangement that will avoid sentences like “I’m in ‘compentent’.”
\n– The third floor rooms are named after remote places like Siberia, Pluto, and Timbuktu. No, we’re not bitter!
\n– There are these weird mogul-like things in the courtyard lawn. This is what happens when architects run out of ideas.<\/p>\n
This is definitely not going to be a productive day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
