Newest Addition

Two posts ago I mentioned that I now have my own office. A big, empty space that is all mine! (They also cleaned the floors. Compare that picture to the previous ones. Seriously. The floor looks brand new. It was nasty before.) Well, something has been added:

That's right! I now have a futon in here. It's not mine, but rather belongs to Gordon, the admin who moved all my officemates out. It came about from a conversation that roughly went like this:

G: "You sure have a lot of space in here now."
E!: "Yeah, it's great! What I really need is a couch. [half jokingly:] There aren't any spare couches lying around anywhere are there?"
G: "Actually I'm pretty sure I have a spare futon at home. I can bring it up if you want."
E!: "Really? That would be amazing!"
G: "Sure, I'll bring it up tomorrow."

And he did. And then he even put it together for me. Gordon is my hero!

Quite literally, if I wanted to never to leave my office/campus, I wouldn't have to. However, the house sitting gig comes with a cat, so I have to feed it. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't ever leave. I am in no way exaggerating.

The futon has been up for 24 hours, and I've already taken 2 naps on it. One during my all nighter last night (when I got my 20 minutes of sleep for the night between 4:00 and 4:20am), and the second was after I returned from feeding the cat and showering at home (between 7:00 and 8:00am), and around 9:30am I realized that I couldn't function on 20 minutes of sleep. So I slept for an hour.

Also, I'll throw this random picture I took of myself and a sign I have hanging above my computer. It was late, and I thought it was funny. (Ten points if you know the reference.)
