Laboring on labor day

Aahhhh, it has been a whole week since I last posted. Things are so busy with work. In addition to the regular tasks at work, I am taking a class, teaching a class, and designing a class (yes, I work at a university). This past weekend was the first home football game so = nothing got accomplished (work-wise). Fun!

As a result, I am at the office trying to do some work today, Labor Day. In honor of that, here are a few pics of the office "where the magic happens"...

To begin, here are some shots of the train wreck I worked in for a while afterI first moved in (for the first few months of the job I occupied a temporary office about half of the size of my current digs).

They keep me busy

This is embarassing

As you can see from this last picture, I had things to work with...it just took me a little bit to settle in and set up.

After spending a few weekends making things pretty, here is what I have to enjoy while I work now.

I tidied my desk a bit for this photo shoot

I removed the folding doors of the desk's hutch, which provided me with some display shelf space

A few personal touches to fancy-up the great view of the brick building next door

Some more personal touches.

As you can see, I have made some nice progress in making this office my office. I have a few things I would still like to get to (like the bare wall that you see in the first picture of this post. That wall is still naked). For now, I need to get back to my current to-do list so that I can enjoy some real Labor Day festivities later this evening!

Happy Labor Day to all!
