I sit in the bathroom office.

I sit in the bathroom office.  My job still feels like it is in a state of transition.  Now that I am “working” in the bathroom office, it feels even more unreal.

What is a bathroom office?  Quite frankly, until about 3 weeks ago, this “office” was a bathroom.  There was a toilet, a sink, tile floor, and a counter top.  I think that there were two or three people in the suite that used it as their primary restroom.  With the office staff growing, the upper management decided to transform (with the help of a construction team) it into a working office.  It’s small, y’all!

About the same time, upper management decided to put a wall up in my former window suite – the one I shared with a sweet and friendly roommate – and create two separate spaces.  For that construction to happen, we had to be relocated.  As luck would have it, I ended up moving into the “bathroom office” temporarily – or so I thought.  This is starting to sound like the movie “Office Space.”  You know, the movie where the guy who loves his stapler keeps getting moved around from one crappy cubicle to another.  I think he finally ends up in the nasty damp basement.  Poor thing!

Construction came and went and my old window office is now sitting empty.  I am still here in the “bathroom office.”  It wouldn’t be so bad, except that everyone refers to it as the “bathroom office.”  Another part of the issue is that my job is still evolving. 

To cope, I have decided that I will find some pictures of toilets or bathrooms and frame them to decorate this office.  I found a great calendar that I could deconstruct and use for the pictures here or here.  Additionally, a friend down the hall plans to bring me a “sense and spray” air freshener.  The same friend gave me the flowers you see in the picture. 

For now, I will continue to dwell in my bathroom office...until I move again.  Thankfully, I don't think this building doesn’t have a nasty damp basement!
