Congrats to John G on his milestone post!

[Jane]

Glad to hear that the latest earthquake wasn't near Studio City.

Disneyland closed as a precaution.

I have a habit of living with various aspects of a decision before I really make the decision.  So, I did some checking out of what space is available, I brainstormed the possible ways we could have space for Sandy, I worked with building maintenance guys on the sound problems, I decided to move my office as a last ditch attempt to make the space work for all of us and then I really thought about all the negatives of going forward with the sharing on a long term basis.  There were just too many negatives and I was giving up too much for me to be happy. So the decision was made.

 This process works well for me, but it tends to confuse others and drive everyone around me crazy.  They think I keep changing my mind, but really I haven't made my decision yet.  I always know when I've made the final decision and it doesn't change after that, but others...well...they don't always get it.

So, he may be surprised.

[Jane]

It's also my guess that he'll be very surprised.  That's why I wanted to give him time to think about it before we talk.

Had he asked about his additions and you initially said yes?  He might be surprised but I personally think he should understand.

Well, sort of.  We;ve had conversations about various possibilities if we office share into the future and where his secretary/wife may go if she came on board, but I was never happy with any of the suggestions and I realized that I was compromising on what I want and what I've created.  I'm just not going to do that.  So, if he's surprised, he's surprised.  It's not personal and I'm not changing my mind

Hopefully he will understand.  Your suggestion of staying in the building was a good one as long as he isn't angry with you

[Jane]

I think telling him your thought process and the effort you put into making it work will help him feel better about your decision.

[Cillaliz]

On the other hand, I am way excited about moving my office into the other space. I've spent time the past week working at the conference table with the doors shut and spent time just sitting at different times of the day.  I can't find any negatives in moving in there.   I measured today and was so pleased with the way things should fit in the space.   It's going to be so great to have all that space. 

My office is nice and sunny, but it's gotten quite cramped and full of plants!  I used to have half of them in the space Bob is in but had to move them when he came on board.  One of them is quite big and will go outside as soon as it warms up.  The rest can stay in the conference room.  They all seem to love the southern light

[Cillaliz]

Enough about that for now.   this is making me want to go to the office, lol

That's what I thought!

[Cillaliz]

But thanks for letting me vent here.   It all just makes me feel even more like I'm doing the right thing

[vixmom]

 Am glad you were able to make your decision so you could stop stressing

[Cillaliz]

Thanks Vixmom.  I was stressing big time.  I'm thinking I may need some movie therapy tonight

[Jane]

Correction.  The news said they shut down the rides.  I'm searching to find out how long they were shut down before beginning again.

Just sitting there?  During the work day?  Boy, don't let the boss see you.

[Cillaliz]

Did anyone see The Book Thief?  I loved the book, but haven't seen the movie.  It's on my Directtv Cinema

[Jane]

OK, reading past the headlines my take is that certain rides get shut down and inspected for damage.  Once they are cleared they can reopen.

Yes, but Universal Sutdios decided to reopen their old EARTHQUAKE-The Thrill Ride!

Bruce reviewed it recently-check his archives.  He didn't read the book though.  I don't know anyone yet who read the book that saw the movie.

Oh I was holding a folder.  I learned a long time ago if you're holding a folder anyone watching will think you are working.  Especially when you are walking around.

I suggest something light and frothy -
 

[Cillaliz]

I remember Bruce reviewing it, I was really thinking of someone who could compare it to the book.....Maybe that will have to be me

is it closed?  We went on it in Florida last summer

[Cillaliz]

There's always Frozen.  I haven't seen that yet.   Or I could go to the actual movie theater, lol

[Cillaliz]

I seem to be watching Lawrence Welk...mostly because I haven't bothered to change the channel...now THIS is light and frothy

[TCB]

Oh boy!  Oh boy!  My Blu Ray / DVD copy of RAISE THE TITANIC has arrived.  It is not a great movie, or even a really good one, but I still enjoy it.  I love the Main Title Theme of the film; and the scene where the Titanic breaks the surface of the ocean and the scene where the Titanic sails into New York harbor both bring me to tears.

That reminds me of a girl I used to work with -  when she came into work late  she would leave her  coat in the car and went to the cafeteria  first and got a cup of coffee so when she walked in,  it looked as if she was  just coming back, not that she was just coming in (we shared an office so I knew better  but she would cover for me as well!)

oh Frozen would be a good choice!

I'm not sure I've seen that one....I try to watch all things Titanic

I'll try to remember that.
