the lava lounge is no more

when i started my current job, my office was painted a vomitous yellowy-greeny-beige, and my furniture was odd castoffs. i'm leaving behind a glorious professionally-painted purple and lavender office with matching cherry (okay, cherry veneer, but whatEVer) furniture... and two chartreuse green klackbo™ chairs from ikea.

so. the cherry desk is going to surplus in sacramento. the cherry bookshelf is going to live with dr. crackcorn. the klackbos are off to their new digs with one of my coworkers. ::sob::

and i? am cubicle-bound. in a barbed-wire guard-gated high-security blah blah fishcakes compound. in hell. not really, just in the outskirts of richmond. or maybe i was right the first time.

ah well, impermanence is the way of things. if you forget, the universe reminds you.

the inflatable palm tree is on order. the action figures are massing at the border. and the pirate flag will be flying first thing tuesday.
