I had a luncheon to celebrate my tenure as the PFO secretary at Aiken Elementary along with all the other incoming and outgoing PFO officers in the Keystone Oaks school district. Leaving during lunch meant giving up my first floor parking space and having to park in the Penthouse when I returned.
But penthouse parking meant a new and different view of Mt. Lebanon and the area where I work. This is my office building that I affectionately refer to as "Castle Grayskull", which is not as bad as it's prior nickname, The Cyclops Building. Cyclops Steel Corporation took up many of the 7 floors in prior years.
It's now more aptly named "650 Washington Rd." which is it's physical address but it serves as my office home now. We moved our department here back in 2008 which was the first time in over 23+ years that I did not work in an office where something industrial wasn't happening 10 feet from my desk. No rubber dust, no nasty Nh3 smell from reclaiming hose, it's been a pleasure.
We will find ourselves "moving on up" in the next 60 days to the 5th floor, to gain us more room. I hope the do that in July while I am gone and an office with a view would be very nice too!
The brain is a wonderful organ. It starts working the minute you get up in the morning, and does not stop until you get into the office.
