First off, best of luck in the new space

There is something to be said for your surroundings contributing to your state of mind, and it can be difficult sometimes to move to a new environment. Your subconscious has to go through the process of acclimating itself to the new "common noises" in the area, and begin filtering them out.

It can be very difficult for me to move around, and attempt to develop, or even admin systems in quasi new surroundings, or even co-workers cubes, simply due to the differences in the atmosphere, and how they have arranged their desk.

It's also tough to leave a place with sentimental/emotional buildup. Usually for me it takes some time to settle in due to the barren feeling of a new environ.

So again I wish you the best of luck. For me its easiest when I bring along stuff that was scattered over my walls, and place it around me again. This gives me at least a small sense of comfort.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
