about the move
so my office move happened over the weekend
we packed up
the movers took everything downtown
beginning
thursday evening
we had friday off
monday morning
i felt like a kid starting at a new school
really
i woke at around 3
not
because
i couldn't sleep
because
the cats decided
to
alternately
caterwaul
race in/out of the bedroom
hiss at one another
generally being
annoying
toonman slept through it all
not me
i got up around 5
fed the buggers
showered
dressed
left the house
around
6:45
which is
actually
only
5 minutes earlier than usual
i walked to 72nd
the express was pulling in
hopped on
4 stops later
approx 10 min
i got off at chambers
walked down
west broadway
stopped for coffee
because
i am no dummy
i knew the coffee machines
were
not
unpacked
installed
i was right
it took most of the day to unpack
the important stuff
deal with
the
i need this
i dont like that
its all part of my job
to
solve
resolve
i didnt leave til almost 5
the subway at chambers
was so crowded
i stood like a sardine without the oil
all the way uptown
i got home
opened a bottle of wine
sat down
and
sipped
and
yawned
til about 9
then
went to sleep
i was exhausted
except for the bad ride home
tuesday and wednesday were identical
there's a lot to sort out
to get settled in
there is still all the art photos painting to be hung
the pantry needs organizing
the copy room has nowhere to put the 15 crates of stuff
that need to be unpacked
the architects/designers created a great space
but
in terms of
work space
needs
its lacking
several closets have no bar for the hangers
really
i am not joking
there is a conference room
with
no
doors
who is going to meet in a conference room
with
no doors
there is an awful lot of wasted space
but
i can brag
about
getting my desk turned around
so its actually
a desk
vs
a long counter with a short 'L'
under the window
the view is amazing
even with dirty windows
actually every view is amazing
we have the entire 43 floor
you really can see for miles and miles
its a gorgeous building
i promise
more photos
from
inside and out
but
i need to get to sleep
i am still exhausted
none of these are signed
i am just too tired
