On The Move
11:25 AMWe've finally settled on new premises (after a lot of searching), coupled with an increased workload now we're a 2-man team, it's been a really busy time. At least my relationship with difficult co-worker has improved - he's been a bit more patient and reasonable lately. I was surprised to hear him object to my offer to leave the other day - I thought he'd be glad to be rid of me. Perhaps once you get past the territorially pissing he actually likes having me around?
The new office is small, but for what we're paying for it (ie: bugger all), and given its in the heart of the city, it's pretty good. It certainly has character, growing in the crack between two buildings, featuring polished wood floors and actual opening windows, something that feels a bit more like a design studio. It's definitely more interesting than the space we're in now, which looks like a converted 80's cafeteria.
We need some kind of time machine right now - we're close to running out of time to move, but we still have to organise furniture, moving phones, DSL, and servers. Service providers require a minimum of 2 weeks which doesn't help, and it's a struggle to move without having any service disruption. It looks like we're going to have to make a run to IKEA for some of that crazy furniture that they make so well. I don't think we're going to have much chance of getting a lot of our larger items into the building. The boardroom table might have to stay at the foot of the winding stairwell.
