cramped quarters

Dell has recently announced that they are increasing the number of people employed in our Nashville office from 2000 to 3000. In order to pack in an additional 1000 worker bees, they are putting the building through "densification". (Insert joke about us being "dense" here).

As a result, we had to move. We just finished settling into our new digs. Let me tell you - deoderant and ear plug sales in the area will probably be going up. HighEd has always been a tight group, but now we're packed in to match.

Here are the pictures as proof... (click on the pic for full size)

This is the picture from last week's Halloween party. Aside from Mumbo looking cool, you can see that the row was so wide, the other half didn't even show up in the picture. You can barely see my chair on the right side of the picture.






On the other hand, we have our new row. The row literally went from about 7 feet between desks, to about 4 feet. We have to go up and down the row one at a time. Elevator rules apply...people leaving go out before people coming in can enter.

On the plus side, the number of people served by Anna's little space heater has just gone up 10 fold.
