How quickly could you move out of your office?

Didn't we have a post just like this a few months ago?

I thought so too.

I have a plant, a framed picture, a picture of my dog, some food in a drawer already in a plastic bag, some cards - appreciation notes and a card from my CW for my birthday, and a sweater. It would take me not even 2 minutes to get all of that together.

I'm here except for the plant. I have intentionally done this at this job.

Personal items - 30 minutes

Work related items that are "mine" - hours and hours. I don't even want to think about it. I now understand why, when I replaced a teacher who taught in my position for 35 years, I found so much shit from 1972.

Yep. It took me a full day to clean out my classroom. I had to sift through all of the resources and figure out which ones I purchased and which were school-purchased. My personal items took about 15 mins or so. It was the damn filing cabinet that took forever.

When I worked in an office, 1 minute. I had all my personal stuff which wasn't much, mostly snacks haha, in one drawer so I could easily put it into a box and leave. As for files and stuff, it was all neatly organized so probably 5 minutes to get all those into boxes.

Now working from home, it took me 2 days of careful packing to move my office when we were moving from FL. But that included a giant desk, book shelf, several computers, a bunch of monitors, and a ton of non work stuff that made it into the office...like Hilo's toys that he played with while we were working haha.

It took me a week to pack up, working maybe an hour a day sorting through crap. I had a huge cube with a window and a bunch of shelves. Not too many personal things but I wanted to save some stuff and trash the rest. I also had two plants, a Keurig, pictures and a few nick nacks plus a bunch of books I was selling online.

My new office is much smaller which will hopefully help me be less of a hoarder.

I've been here 8 years and have an office. I could still be out within 15 minutes. The only personal items I have could fit into one bankers box. There's lip gloss in my desk, some random snacks, shoes under my desk, a framed wedding photo and a few odds and ends. I don't like keeping much personal stuff at work, and it's not the culture at my firm. Offices are already furnished with fine furniture and artwork. They wouldn't let someone bring in their own chairs, etc. There's an esthetic standard.
