Change...

"There is nothing permanent except change."

Almost a year ago, I got this note in a fortune cookie.  For some reason, I taped it inside the hutch above my desk at work.  At the time, I was very into my workout routine and Atkins and used it as a motivational tool.

I don't think that I understood at the time, just how many meanings this little Fortune Cookie fortune, would hold over the next year.

When, my honey and I first started dating it meant that.. I should embrace the change in our relationship from  just best friends, to best friends and lovers.  That was hard for me to do.  I had to learn how to relate to him in a different way.  Well I certainly reaped great benefits out of that one.

Then when our department got hit by an internal audit the quote meant that.. this too would pass, my work would speak for itself, and ... even if procedures got changed.. it was just that change...

And, now, things are changing yet again.  I will be changing departments and offices, and though I certainly think its for the best.  It is still a change.  I have been in this location and this office since 2003.  I have ordered the furniture I want.. created the filing system I want.  And, just have everything nicely set up.   And now, I have to start over from scratch because those things were bought through the department that I was in, not the one I am going to.  And, I know that I can buy back those things but.. I don't want too.. (pout). 

Further more, I have spent all morning cleaning off my hard drive, of over 2000 pictures that I had loaded into my Kodak Software and...documents that are saved to my computer that I need for this or that.  Removing cookies, and temporary internet files, and just waiting until I can .. actually move 100%
