Moving Day...
Today was the day designated for our office to transition from our old workspace to the new office space. Eight of us were designated to move and spent the majority of the morning moving all of our stuff out of the old workstations and into the new workstations. The workstations are on the other side of the main office from the old workstations, so we didn't have to go that far. Moving the file cabinets and arranging them to maximize space was a bit of a trick as they had to be put in the cubicle (nothing allowed to protrude into the aisle), but it's large enough that I was able to pull it off-the new cubicles are larger than the old ones by a wide margin.
Most of the cubicles have windows facing front and the aisle. Mine only has windows to the aisle, as I deal with sensitive information and those windows are mostly blocked by a file cabinet. I am in the very back of the unit. That makes it nicer as no one comes past my cubicle unless they are looking for me.
We're all Specialist Ones in this area except the Support Specialist who assembles the new case files. He doesn't get a full cubicle but has the open work station by the copier room. The specialist who handles the restraining orders has the cubicle at the front of the unit and has a window that opens out to the main hall so that the people wanting to get restraining orders do not take up space in the waiting room. The next stage of construction will begin the removal of the old cubicles and reconfiguration of the filing counter and waiting room area. That will require the few people remaining in the old workspace to move to the cubicles that some of us Specialist Ones vacated temporarily, until the second phase of construction is completed. Then they will have to move into the new workspaces when they are completed.
