Change

Another week went by in the blink of an eye.  Too much to do and too little time.  I have been dragging my laptop around, trying to type up the stuff I need to update my website.  But then that seems to be how people work these days.  I was in a coffee place and everybody was on their computer.

Now that I've had my MacBook for close to four years, I've finally made friends with it.  Though I still don't like the way it deals with files.  But it is light and has a great keyboard.  I can work and then just shut it and slip it back in my bag.

It's probably good that I'm getting used to working with lots of stuff going on around me.

We're moving our office to this new place. Everything is very communal, though the conference rooms are private.  The workspaces are long tables and you just set up your laptop wherever that day.  The rest of the place looks like a lounge with comfortable furniture and an area with coffee, tea and beer. There are phone booths as they call them which can also be used as a nap booth.  There is music playing instead of CNN endlessly on a TV screen. It is very millennial centric, which probably seems obvious by now.  I was concerned that I'd feel out of place and uncomfortable -- well more likely, I'd be viewed as a relic from another time.  But I saw that there were some other people close to my age.  It feels like a creative atmosphere.  It seems like this is the way office space is headed.  You have to  move with the times.

I think about that a lot.  You can't be stuck with ideas of how things should be.  I read something this week.  I can't remember exactly how it was said, but basically the point was that change is going to happen, and security is knowing that you will adapt.
