...before getting all ranty about the sucky postal service in my last post:
Today was the first day in the new office in downtown Redmond (for everyone, not just me). As far as offices go, it's kind of meh. Not significantly better or worse than the other place. It's a bit more cramped than the old place, but I figure that will get better as we get crap from the move out of the way.
A definite plus, though, is the location. Places to go for lunch are much closer than they were to the comparative middle of nowhere that the other place was. Definitely within walking distance, if necessary. Also, it's only a 20-30 minute walk from where I live. It might be a slight annoyance to carry home groceries the 1 mile or so from Safeway (which is almost next door to the office) than it was from the third or so of a mile from QFC (which is now, unfortunately, on the opposite side of my condo from where I work), but whatever. Though if I did need to use a bus for some reason, such as for groceries, there are stops pretty much right outside the door of the office, as opposed to needing a 10 minutes walk to get to the nearest one at the other place.
And we have a much faster Internet connection at the new place than we did before, which is nice.
