I had lunch with one of the gao folks. Good conversation. Then I dropped by the office and chatted with folks for a bit. I miss the place. Everyone so friendly, and smiling. Some annoyance with work. But it was an affectionate annoyance. They showed me my probable new cube, two down from my old cube, thus reducing the amount of unexpected passers-by. In fact, it’ll go from 3/4 of the bloody office seeing the back of my head, to my cube neighbor and people visiting one or the other of us. That’ll be cool. It was good to walk back in. I’m pretty sure this one will go well.
