Word has been handed down: my office moves on October 5th. Wait, that's a Thursday. Why the hell are we moving on a Thursday? That's what Mondays are for.

It's the end of an era, almost as much as moving from Clinton Hill will be (later that same month). Except for a couple of weeks, my entire New York Professional Career has existed within a few blocks of the World Trade Center. Except of course for all the years I worked from home.

My commute of 3.4 miles will stretch to 5 miles (according to Google Maps), but the subway is a lot closer to the office. Plus I'll only be on the 4th floor instead of the 22nd. But currently my desk is in some random spot among people in the Operations department, I assume a the new place I'll be in with people from my own department. This means I'll have to get to work on time for the first time in my Professional Career. This for me reduces all the other potential benefits, I don't want my coworkers to know when I get in!
