Here's the deal, I realize this is slightly ridiculous of me but I'm not such a fan of change. I hate it actually! What brought this on? Well, I found out my office is moving in the next few weeks and I'm ticked about it. I've basically been thinking of nothing else for the last 2 hours.
The weird part is that if you'd told me 3 months ago, "well, you may be moving to this new office but we're not sure". Then 6 weeks later said, "well, we've found space so you and your cohorts are most likely moving." Then today said "hey guess what? you're moving next week!". I would have been more than ok with it. But as it stands, they just throw these things at you and assume you'll be ok. In the long run, it's about 3 miles down the road from where I am right now and in the same area I spend most of my time. It's not further from my house or even harder to get to. There are nice restaurants around for lunch, and I can still frequent the stores I go to now at lunch. But it's a change, and I'm miffed!
You might think this is odd, coming from a person that wants to change her life so regularly but the truth is change freaks me out. I'm most definitely a routine type of person, which is a part of my problem. I get comfortable with the same parking spot, the same walking trail, the same cup of tea at the same time each morning. And I don't want to give those routines up. I realize in my head that if I move to England, those routines would go flying out the window. But I feel that would be my choice. I know what I'm getting into in that situation. In this situation, it's just some random person throwing me and my colleagues where-ever there's an empty desk.
Not to mention the process of moving is just annoying and the fact that I actually like my little desk setup right now, is going to make it more obnoxious. Down with change! Why can't things just stay the way they are? Until of course, I'm ready to change them myself...
