My New Office

Garrett and I packed our lunches this morning. I enjoy sharing these simple tasks with a friend, they both make them easier to do more often, and they are another way to connect so early in the morning. After we finished however, I took mine and went to my office, and he with his to his work. When I decided to consume my pre-made meal, I wondered where I would sit and relax. I longed to share my lunch hour with another person, but alas I felt as though none were available at that time.

I first started upstairs in our 3rd floor office in the new breakroom, but I felt exiled and without company in the back room. I should have brought a book with me and got to know an author a little better, oh well, maybe next time. Then I took my food down to my office on the 2nd floor, and sat at my desk, I turned on a little bit of KCRW and played some scenario poker on my laptop while I ate. It was nicer, well I occupied myself, but still not what I was hoping for.

Maybe I will enjoy it more once my office is finished being put together, and all of my decorations and paraphernalia is put on the walls and shelves. I did take some time to look at my clock and vase, and I dwelt on an absent picture frame that all three pieces were part of a handsome dark brown animal skin desk set. I thought to myself, I wonder what adventure that frame is participating in right now, much less the adventure it has witnessed these last 6 weeks.

All in all, my lunch hour is nothing special, but the invitation is always open for company. I'd much rather have the problem of managing and prioritizing my company and schedule than just sitting and waiting. But I'm content to wait, especially when it's important.
