Today marks the end of an era. Despite this there were no bands playing, no speeches from visiting dignitaries, no public announcements. I didnâ??t really expect any of these things but it was a sad affair when the whole office packed all their stuff into boxes. Today we had our last morning coffee at the old workplace.
The boxes were collected today and tomorrow we will be unpacking all our belongings in the new office. We have not moved far â?? only across the harbour entrance to Gothenburg. The new department is all wifi (for staff and students) and new furniture â?? despite this there is a pang of nostalgia for the old place which I have experienced, worked in and complained about for the last eight years.
