Day In The Life of Milton Waddams From Office Space

Office Space is one of my favorite movies that I can watch over and over again.
There are so many great scenes in that movie and anyone that has worked in an office can likely relate to at least a few of the scenarios.
One character in that movie is Milton Waddams. He is the guy that gets crapped on continually throughout the movie, including the number of times he has been asked to move his desk:

And I said, I don’t care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I’m, I’m quitting, I’m going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they’ve moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were married, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn’t bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it’s not okay because if they take my stapler then I’ll set the building on fire…

Moving My Office
This weekend I need to move my home office to another part of the house if I want to have access to the Interweb for the next three to four days.
We are having our house painted and one of the rooms being painted will be my office. The painting crew will be repairing any blemishes in the drywall and sanding down the walls and trim before starting to paint. Initially I had hoped to just move everything to the center of the office but with the potential for a high amount of dust in the air, I’ll feel better moving all of the computer equipment.
Unfortunately, when we replaced our old laptop with the two desktops I didn’t go with the wireless network cards so I’ll have to move just about everything. Then a few days later, I will have to move it all back again just like Milton.
Interrupting My Routine
As I mentioned yesterday, one of the basic rules of blogging is do not force a post just to have a post for that day.
Over the next few days, I just wanted everyone to know that if this blog is quiet it could just be because my home office is in a state of disrepair and I am having issues accessing the Interweb.
I am very much a creature of habit and having my normal routine interrupted will not be pleasant. But my wife tells me that everything will look so much nicer once it is painted and since I did not want to paint the house myself, I’ll have to deal with the interruption to my routine.
By the way, has anyone seen my stapler?
