Well, I got comfortable in my office again, so the company is moving me to a new building. This will be my 10th office move (11th office) at AOL. I’ve been pretty lucky and usually got nice places to work and great people to work with. Packing today was mildly depressing because I will miss all the fine folks in Reston whom I have loved working with regularly. The move offers several benefits, and a few drawbacks.
