Moving Again!

Not moving personally, mind you, professionally.  Let me explain.  In September of 2005, I returned to the U.S. within my Company, more specifically, New York.  I was to work in Mid-Town in one of the company's buildings within the Manhattan "Campus."  I did just that and assumed I would be calling that building home for years to come.  WRONG.

4 months after I began work, I then moved down to the tip of Manhattan in a building called 1 New York Plaza.  You might not know it by name, but I am sure you have seen it.  It is the building that is always on TV at the tip of Manhattan near the Staten Island Ferry Terminal.

Anyhow, that was home, at least what I thought until around September of this year when we moved again to another building of ours further north around the World Trade Center, actually right across the street.  Since I have been plugging away and have grown quite comfortable working here as I take the PATH Train from Newark to the World Trade Center every day which is quite nice to only have to walk across the street to work.

All of that is going to change in a matter of days as I will be moving again back to Mid-Town, but no, not the same building I started in, one of our other buildings in Mid-Town, all clustered in and around Times Square.

Now, although the thought of working in Times Square might seem romantic and awesome, it is really quite a pain in the a$$.  The number of people (business and tourists) in that place at any given time makes it almost impossible to get anywhere when you need to.  Including meetings in other buildings or trying to get to and from home.

As you can tell, I am not too thrilled about working up there, however,  I will be starting a new job.  An exciting job, a new role for the company which should do my career well.  So for that, I will brave the crowds and madness that is Mid-Town one more time, until the boxes show up at my desk and I have to move again.
