Thank you, David Bowie, for that powerful lyric.
Well, we're here in the new place, and if I can quote Napoleon Dynamite, it's pretty "flippin sweet." The office is huge and I'm not going to lie, I love bragging to friends about the modern cafeteria and Wii set-up in our office.
Yesterday was not like I imagined it would be but somehow seemed right, if that makes sense. I arrived to work not really knowing what to expect. I walked through the glass doors and was amazed at everything I saw. It was like being a kid in a toy store; I had to touch everything, explore, get lost, and play with the newest toys. Everybody working together yesterday was something that was really great to be a part of. I thought it would be chaotic, dramatic and stressful but it was none of those things. In my opinion, everything went very smoothly and everybody is pleased (or seems to be) with the new space. Us co-ops even get our own "mini-lounge," how cool is that?
Each week, we have a meeting and each week, one of the co-ops reads a quote pertaining to one of our values. I was looking through quotes today and found a few that are suitable to what our entire office has been going through.
"It's not so much that we're afraid of change or so in love with the old ways, but it's that place in between that we fear...It's like being between trapezes. It's Linus when his blanket is in the dryer. There's nothing to hold on to." - Marilyn Ferguson
I like this quote a lot because it talks about the stage in between leaving the old and getting used to the new. Right now we are all adjusting and I am grateful that we have each other to hold on to.
