Movin’ on up

I am choosing to have a pause in my working day. I’ve worked my arse off since 8.30am and I think it’s about time I kicked back, had some chocolate cake that had so conveniently been left in the small kitchen with a small pot of cream. Well why not.

I’m also keeping one eye out for Harley as I want him to sign 4 things for me and he seems to have a tendency to be able to disappear when you need him most at the moment. Yesterday he was incredibly illusive and by then time he was pinned down in his chair at his desk, Andre had 19 documents for him to look at, I had 5 and

Ms Rigsby had 12. See Harley, avoidance gets you now

here, we are resourceful ladies and we will hunt you down and make you pay. Or sign. Yes probably we will make you sign not pay.

So, the exciting world I live in for 9 hours a day is not that exciting at the moment. Apart from cake the week has been pretty uneventful. We do however have the upcoming office move to look forward to! The day will soon arrive where we will cross over the threshold of something looking like the Ugly Betty ‘Mode’ offices and into our sleeker, cleaner, classier abode. The photo’s on the intranet are showing the building progress and it looks to be going well, all things on track? Care to lay a bet on if the phones will be working on day 1, if

my computer is at the right desk or anyone can access the toilets?

Things I am looking forward to about the new building:

- The fact I get a window seat (OK so I’ll just be looking out at the building next to us but at least I might get a bit more vitamin B)

- The ‘break-out’ area for our department which has 2 sofas – hello nap time!

- The new canteen that will be on the ground floor serving bacon rolls for breakfast…mmmmm bacon

- Vending machines! No longer will I need to take a 15 minute round trip for a packet of crisps of chokey cola!

- Private showers, potentially less manky than the ones we use with the rest of the companies right now

- That I can pretend I work for M

It’s looking seriously swanky (or wanky?) see:

That’s the kitchen….sorry ‘break-out area’. I don’t know why they call it that, I’ve looked for escape routes in the ones here and there aren’t any. I’ll probably still end up having my lunch at my desk anyway. I hope they have more than 2 microwaves and employ the use of normal bins you don’t have to make some strange hand gesture over to open.

Oh yes and the very best thing about this office

move? I almost forgot – how could I?! We get 2 whole days off paid while they do it!! We’re closed for business from 5pm next Wednesday until the following Monday morning, result! And that Monday won’t be as bad as others as I’m sure I will spend the majority of my first day arranging my photo’s on my desk, making sure all my post-it notes are in order and trying to find my computer. It’s not nearly as stressful as the last time I moved. But then that was me, my mate a hired transit van, many stairs and 32 degrees of heat.
