I’ve reorganized my cubicle (slightly, but enough to throw me off balance temporarily), I wiped down all the surfaces in my cube, and I even cleaned up a ton of bookmarks in Firefox. I got around to setting up a bunch of “linkfest” posts (divided up into smaller, easier-to-consumer chunks since the last time I had a big post it wasn’t helpful in the end) that will be posted over the next couple of days.
Apparently, it’s spring cleaning time in the office. Now if only I made myself get around to dealing with the stack of papers that’s “filed” (and by filed, I mean generally in the area where the files are, but not in anything more than a large pile) in our office area at home. I need to get that done some time in the next few weeks, since it will need to be taken care of before putting the house on the market.
I can’t believe now near we are to June, our proposed time for putting the house up for sale. We’ve made some definite progress, and have been working what seems like “all the time,” but there are still plenty of things to do still and not that much time. Hopefully we won’t just blow by the June deadline, since lots of people think that August is a good time to buy a house and I’d like to capitalize on that.
In case you were interested in what 
got for his birthday on Tuesday, here’s what I gave him:
Favorite Words - Pickle
Man food
Strawberries
Conveniently, I got a new book for myself at the same time, one I'd checked out of the library and liked enough to want to own.
I should blow the dust off of my desk one of these days. I’m still trying to figure out how it gets so dirty since I am never actually AT it. I think my co-workers must eat snacks there while I’m attending meetings. LOL
Oh and I forgot to say I saw the minty chocolate death by starbucks drink sign the other day AFTER I purchased a drink. I was wondering if it was good. Thanks for the confirmation.
KathyHowe –
Isn’t it amazing how dirty desks and offices get? Used or unused, it’s all pretty gross. I used to have the unfortunate task of cleaning my boss’s work area when he wasn’t around (had to do it covertly, of course, but it was nasty gross and it really needed it). Blech.
Enjoy the Starbucks drink if you get a chance! I’m bummed because they canceled my favorite drink, the Honey Latte. Apparently I’m the only one who likes it. But my Starbucks seems to think they have enough back-supply to last through the summer, so that’s good.
