A glimpse into my current work world….

Office past… my work home for the past 10 years. It used to look like this.  And it used to store this stuff.

Office present… where my stuff is for the next few days.  This space will be our dedicated media/edit room. (Nothing like seeing one’s entire office world distilled down to a collection of boxes.)

Office future… a progression

And that brings us up to what’s happening today.  Good times!

So I’m moving to a different office in our building this week.  The office I’m moving from has been mine for 10 years, and has belonged to the music department since the building was built… about 23 years ago.

The lesson for all of us today: maybe a person should clean out her office more than once a decade.  In any case, I found some treasures that may only be appreciated by a few.

First, a picture of the first ‘music resource tape’ I made for our worship team… probably in mid 1999. Again, there may only be a few people who enjoy reading this very fuzzy list.

These items were in the deep recesses of a cabinet for a very very long time.  I am compelled to immediately begin drawing music staffs with chalk on every available surface.

And finally… a few little things I’m getting rid of.
Holy mound of cassette tapes, batman.

I’ve had fun today remembering when I had to go to a store to find new music, when the best way to schedule musicians was to print and mail out a schedule, and when I wondered if ‘Shout to the Lord’ was too much for our congregation to handle.

I must say I do like where we are now.  Quite a lot.

this picture was taken in my office in October 2008.

This was earlier this summer.

And this was today.

It’s possible the window is not coming back.  There have been other conversations about this in the past, but I was full of hope right up until there was paint.

Good-bye dear window.  I will miss you.

P.S. If you’re wondering, there is a building expansion happening adjacent to my office.  That’s why.  Here’s the view from the other side of the wall.
