This may be the last update on this thread for a couple years. I had no office for over two weeks. I left my boxes in the garage and did as much work as I could (very little, that is) from home. Having no office meant no server, which meant my files stored on a couple DVDs didn't have a place to live, so working with them was just not possible.

Last Tuesday my rats moved over to the animal facility in my new building. I have a back-log of rat data to enter, from my office-less period!

Yesterday I moved into my office. Copied all my files onto the server, using my computer which is all hooked up--server, email, printer. One box still sits on my desk, waiting for the key to the locked drawers. No one knows who has it so they ordered a new key.

I hauled all my boxes by bike. I got several waves, smiles, thumbs-up.

My bike looks nice against the wall outside my cubicle. Though most of the building is small and cramped, there is enough room right here that I can lean my bike against the wall without being in the way.

It seems ok. But when it comes down to it, it's just another postdoc. I have trouble getting excited about it.
