Hello from US1 230.07
So I got to work and there was no sign of any moving happening. Whew. I hadn't actually labelled all my stuff so I was a little paranoid. I found labels, labelled stuff, and then tried to do work while wondering when the movers would show up. Got lunch across the street at Uwajimaya and brought it back... the movers showed up right when I finished eating.
Took 'em like 20 minutes to move my stuff and reassemble it, and now here I am. Guido and I have cubes near the northeast corner of the building, which means that if anyone wants to meet me down here for lunch or a Mariners game or whatever, I can see the fountain thingie from my cube, which is really convenient. Yay. All the other guys in the group have offices. I didn't actually ask for an office, and maybe I could, but eh, it's nice to be able to see outside, which I couldn't with an office.
I hadn't been in the cafeteria here in ages. One benefit of this building is that it will reunite me with my first love: pinball. The PacMed building used to have a game room in it, but they took it out to make more office space, and the pinball machines and game tables just disappeared (Which sucked, because they had Getaway and Dr. Who). So the US1 cafeteria currently has two pinball machines, Cactus Canyon and Big Guns. I'd never played CC before today but I really like it, I got multiballs pretty easily and I think the game mechanics are pretty fun. Big Guns, I think I'd played it in high school a bit. It's an older machine but it has really sweet gameplay including two "sections" of the machine with four flippers and all. Unfortunately, the skill shot seems to be broken, because I got it on my second ball and then the machine had to sit there for two minutes until it finally unjammed it.
