Today we moved to new work location. Not far from our previous location, at the most a mile away but a bigger building. So most of the time went in reorganizing and arranging. As I mentioned earlier, we work on vehicle diagnostic systems, so we need to be next to the vehicles all the time. This place has a huge garage - bigger than a basketball court. I am sitting right next to the garage but fortunately garage is heated so no worries for the winter, otherwise I would be freezing due to cold drafts whenever someone opened the door. This huge garage kind of reminded me of my first job out of college, where I worked on aircraft diagnostics and had to be in an aircraft hanger many times. Now we follow agile methodology of software development here and so have a open floor plan i.e. no cubes. I was barely settling and someone asked me how do I like the new place. It's a very common question and I gave common answer, but in my mind it started a chain of thoughts. One has to change workplace, residence etc. many times in life willingly or unwillingly. Mind has a tendency to get used to surroundings and wanting to be in comfort zone for most people and I am one of them. But life has made me change my workplace, residence many time and most of the times unwillingly. Each time I get used to something and try to cling to that, I am thrown off. It's like I am being taught a lesson that I shouldn't get attached to anything. Each time I was forced to move or change I used to get disturbed a lot. But things are getting better - I mean I still have to move or change but my response is getting better. You may say I am getting used to change and you may be true up to a certain degree but it has also brought within me the quest for an unfettered mind.
