Office Move

Last Friday we finally moved office. This was a very complicated operation which involved all of the maintenance department and outside help as well. Surprisingly, it only took one day, mainly because we had been able to take a lot of stuff across prior to the day.

I got a bit frustrated as I had been given the responsibility to organise the move of the computers but it appeared that the IT company let me down. Two weeks prior I had booked them to arrive first thing in the morning, which to me means at nine. However, their representative didn't turn up until quarter to eleven; leaving all of us hanging around waiting as we couldn't move the desks until the computers are gone and me looking a mug.

Still, the move eventually went without any more hitches and by 5pm we were up and running again and almost tidy. All week, it has been a total luxury to have the office so close to the compound and us all being together in the same office without being cramped. We have settled in really quick.
