This was my first weekend in my new job as the 944th Fighter Wing Historian. This is a huge step up for me. I went from not even having my own desk as a Ground Radio Journeyman to now having 2 desks, 3 chairs, 2 computers, 1 fridge, my own printer, a table, a bunch of cabinets and shelves, a window, and a door in my very own office.
In the picture above you can see most of the aforementioned items. You can also see me. I’m smiling because Sergeant Fine, who was taking my picture, said something funny, but also because I’m happy in my new position.There is a big wall clock strategically placed right above my monitor in case I get so engrossed in writing chronologies that I forget the time. The file folders in the foreground hold source documents for the histories that I’m going to write from Y2K to the present. They’re placed strategically on top of empty blue bins to keep the floods from damaging my documents. My office has been flooded twice in the past. Next to my shoulder is the new Blender Bottle that Tamara gave me for my birthday. It’s a happy orange color. That’s about all there is of interest in that picture.

Wow, Jack! That's great!!! Congratulations on your new job, office and all the office furniture! Now you can sit in one chair, and put one foot on each of the other chairs and then you can ponder history! However, I would probably ponder history with my head down on the table(zzzz). Good luck with your new job.
Jack really loves those blender bottles for his protein shakes and pretty much for anything else.
That is so exciting to have your own office! Congratulations!
Looks like you have your work cut out for you! What a change...a great opportunity to work with influential people.
Congratulations on the office. Sounds like you have a lot of work to do - a lot of catch-up work to do.
So, since I'm a little behind the times...are you still enjoying your new job?
