New Digs - New Attitude

I’ve moved cubes again.  The new place is, well, new.  I’m not really sure how I feel about it yet.  I am sitting next to people that I have been sitting next to – only in a new configuration.  There are new people around too.  I should be working, but I don’t really feel the need to work.  The sense of urgency has left me for today.  Instead I keep getting struck by the natural light streaming in from a window a few cubes over.  If I crane my neck a certain way I can see out of the window to the bay and mountains beyond.  It makes me glad that I am not sitting in a window cube.  I would never get any work done.  Someone would tap me on the shoulder and ask me what I was doing and find me staring out the window dreaming of being outside.  As it currently stands, I will have to remain very motivated in order to keep myself from wanting to turn around and just stare out.
The motivation should be back tomorrow.  With things as they are, I DO not want to be caught doing nothing.  I’m on a mission to make myself as indispensable as I possibly can.  I am going to learn as much as I possibly can, complete as many assignments as I can and be as nice and friendly as possible.  I want to smile so much that my face hurts.  I never want to be caught saying an evil word about anyone, anywhere inside this office.  I figure with the change in offices should come my continual change in attitude.  At least at work.
I want to prove that the right decision was made when I was hired into this group a year ago.  I don’t want anyone to think twice about me – about anything.  My goal is total confidence.
We’ll see if I can do it!
