Change is good

According to an old saying, the only thing permanent is change. I have experienced a lot of change - particularly in my office space - in the time I have worked for Bordas & Bordas, and I couldn't be more grateful for all the opportunities I've had to work in several of our locations. When I was first hired, I worked out of our St. Clairsville office, which is directly across the street from the Belmont County Courthouse. Our office there is in a beautiful townhouse, and my desk was right next to a green tiled fireplace. Whenever the weather was nice enough, I liked to walk over to the Courthouse and eat lunch outside. It was something small to look forward to everyday - like getting to have a picnic at work. Before I ever set foot in our St. Clairsville office, I heard stories from some of our staff members about the basement there being haunted. I never heard or saw anything that made me think I was sharing my office with ghosts, but I did get locked out of the building once by a nervous attorney (who shall remain nameless) who locked the basement door when he was working late, just in case there might be ghosts stomping around downstairs. In early 2014, I had the chance to move to our Wheeling offices and work out of our former location on Cypress Avenue, which is now occupied by our friends at Wheelhouse Creative. "Cypress," as we call that house, is a more modern building, but it was still a very fun place to work. Because there were only a few of us working in Cypress, it was a much quieter place than the hustle and bustle of the house on National Road. Cypress was a pleasant and peaceful place to call home, and I hope the folks at Wheelhouse enjoy it there as much as I did. Finally, in the fall of 2014, I moved into the "big blue house" on National Road. I was very excited to have a desk here because I have loved this house from the first moment I set foot in it for my interview. I currently work all the way up on our third floor, in a cozy office with a dormer window and tons of charm. Our National Road location is certainly busier and louder than the other two offices in which I've worked, but I wouldn't change a thing about it. Several of our staff and attorneys work at the big blue house, and I'm glad I've had a chance to see them more often now that I have joined them. That may sound like a lot of moving around, but I have enjoyed all of the desks and offices that I have called home since I started working for Bordas & Bordas. Each place I've worked has given me a chance to get to know a new set of people better. While I talk to everybody who works for the firm regularly, that's very different from actually getting to share space with my co-workers. My favorite part of my many desks has been the opportunity to get to know everyone who works at Bordas & Bordas.   According to an old saying, the only thing permanent is change.
