Obnoxiousness is best offset by beauty.

I’ve just come through what has been a particularly obnoxious period of time at work…my main work area was relocated, and the great majority of the work involved in relocating my work area fell on me, so I guess a better way of saying that would be, “I relocated my work area.” In the middle of that relocation effort I had a brief mini-vacation that felt more like a pause to gather breath than an actual break, and even while moving all of my Stuff I still had to execute normal job duties along the way. (By way of analogy, I am to The Store as Scotty is to the starship Enterprise.)

The move is probably around 80 percent complete now…I’ve finally reached the point where I can reliably execute my job while continuing to organize my Stuff, so maybe things will lower back down to a simmer. Anyway, I continue to find art and beauty to be the best emotional salve for the obnoxious times in one’s life…though it would be nice if I were more able to approach art and beauty on their own terms rather than turning to them for relief. Anyway, here are some recent photos of things!
