Move Update

Over the past two weeks we have been moving to our new office location. It has been an education and in spite of the planning and preparation I am still overwhelmed at the level of disruption a physical move has on a business. Our new space is larger, more convenient and overall we love it. However, productivity has taken a hit and I am still behind on email and client correspondence.

On the lighter side here are ten things I learned during our move.

1. Rolling too many office chairs up the truck ramp can be hazardous to your health.
2. The guy who invented furniture dollies is a GENIUS.
3. An elevator looks smaller when filled with a desk, two chairs, a filing cabinet and every trash can in the office.
4. Free shipping supplies from Fedex = free packing supplies.
5. Buy more boxes, just more...don't ask me how many.
6. You can spend a lot of money getting a bathroom ready for its first client visit.
7. If you label nothing else label the box that has the coffee in it.
8. Don't expect the post office to understand how important they are to your business.
9. Your car may stubbornly continue driving to the old location for a few days.
10. The people you work with will make or break a move. Keep them fed and happy.

If you are in the area stop by. We'd love to see you and this time there's no parking validation required!
