It needed to abandon the old one and scuttle around, soft & vulnerable, until it found a suitable new shell. The Scummyvale building is indeed much, much larger than the old building. We will fit inside this building until more than 500 people work here. (When Magic is that size, it'll be more than 5x the size it was when I joined.) Right now, we rattle around. Nobody shares cubes now. My new cube is twice the size of my old cube. Actually, I just realized that it's literally three times the size. My old cube was 2 Herman Miller units by 2 Herman Miller units. My new cube is 2 by 6 millers. I have desk space I don't know what to do with. It stretches out for creamy off-white yards, well out of my arm's reach. There are people I used to trip over who I haven't seen in days. I have to walk miles and miles to reach the section of the building my manager is in. I know somebody who keeps a bicycle in his cube-- he rides it from one end of the building to the other. There are dozens of named conference rooms and even more unnamed "project rooms". People use the building blueprints in my cube to figure out just where the "Peter Cottontail" room is and then to map out a route to get from here to there. The Pavoni machine is a 3 minute walk away from my cube. --- C J Silverio ceej@[netcom.com | well.sf.ca.us | genmagic.com] <a href="http://wiretap.spies.com/ceej/ceej.html">cj's home page</a>
