Work is on the move

Tomorrow will be our last day in our current office building at work. On Monday we will be starting in our newly refurbished office, well just across the road & down a couple of numbers. Some people are going into our new office on Sunday, but we really don't see the point as we would have to find time to take time in lieu & we don't have the time.

You would think that one would only have to pack a few boxes.... but in fact over the past couple of weeks each afternoon, I have packed about 50 boxes. I counted them today (30 boxes of just stationery & then 10-15 boxes of filing and then 5 boxes for my work related stuff). Each of these had to be labeled with new location & then there was also about 50 more archive boxes that had to be labeled. The dismal thing about moving is you have unpack the boxes at the other end. Thats about 50 boxes to unpack.

Don't get me started on the filing stuff as you would think that going to a newly furbished office that equipment would be up to date. Well in fact they didn't find out how much filing draws or cupboard space we actually required just allocated some. We have been given 2 lots of cupboards, about half the current space and also 4 suspension filing draws when we currently have 22 filing draws. Our desks will be huge though, can't really understand why (4m x 3m). I managed to locate some alternate storage containers which hopefully will do the job. We'll just have to see what the office is like on Monday I guess & play it by ear.
