It doesn&#8217;t happen all that often but last week I was talking with a couple of the guys in the pub and I realised I had lost something and I said &#8220;I must have left it on&#8221; small pause &#8220;my desk&#8221;. I doubt they noticed but I suddenly realised what I was saying and for a second it even felt silly to say it. When I first moved over to London and started in the office, I was in for my first day and I was brought to what would be my desk and I had the same feeling when I got a phone and an extension number. It was just a case of why would I get a phone and a phone number, what possible reason would you have for giving that to me. <\/p>\n<p>See it&#8217;s kinda sad and pretty silly, but until I moved over here I had never worked anywhere that I had a desk of my own and a phone. Bear in mind I had just come from a call centre so while I had a desk, I shared it with people and I couldn&#8217;t always have it. It was quite nice to have this desk which was mine and on this desk I had my phone and my computer and they weren&#8217;t for anyone else to use. They are mine. It was a strange feeling which I thought I had grown out of but I guess there is still a little bit of that in me.<\/p>\n<p>Actually there is a couple of things I guess these days that give me the same feeling but it&#8217;s not all that sad (well it is) but it&#8217;s kinda cool at the same too. Access rights, it&#8217;s always good to get as much as possible, you never know when you need it. I&#8217;ve seen that more and more recently, the same goes for tools. I horde them and I backup my hordes. In my opinion it is a damn good habit and one I plan on sticking with for a long time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ya know you might think this sad, but it still surprises me sometimes to think that I have a desk.
