Y'all keep your fingers crossed for me
As some of you may know, about a year ago I was forced to move from a cozy office in an out of the way corner of the building to a more front and center office that at least facilitates interaction with my students. When I moved, I had to leave all of the furniture except my file cabinet in the office, and I only got to take that because the person who moved in said it was too big for him to deal with.
This means that for the past year I have been making do with a crappy, old, MDF computer desk that has pull out shelves and no drawers that I managed to scavenge and 2 tiny borrowed bookshelves. You sense a theme, here. Yep. No drawers. So I have been living out of boxes. My tiny desk is a mess, all cluttered with students' papers, office supplies, my computer, phone, and calendar.
A lot of people come to my office or pass my office. And it is a frigging MESS. It's despicable. And I am SOOOO tired of it.
Unfortunately, there's just no money for office redo's. However, my grant is ending and there's a small sum left in the supply budget. So if the Dean approves, I am getting a REAL desk and a hutch. WITH DRAWERS. And CABINETS. So I can put things away for the first time in over a year!!!!!
Pray for me and my office, folks, I need it fixed for my SANITY.

Hope there's scads of money left over and you can afford a plant as well. And maybe some paint...

Is it too late to cross my fingers for you... I hope you get your office stuff - that's just silly to be working out of boxes. *sigh*
