Blogus Interruptus…Update
A few days ago I told about finding new office space and shared some of my mixed feelings, excitement and agony, over moving my business. Tomorrow is lease signing day and I hope I’m not jinxing the deal by writing this. Naaahhh … I’m not the superstitious kind. Que sera, sera…
Here’s a shot of the new digs. My office will be the one on this front corner with the two tall skinny windows. I can keep an eye on my car parked in the space just to the right off the edge of the photo. I had to crop that out since another guy had parked there the day I went out for a photo shoot. As soon as we get moved in, I’ll have to negotiate with him — he doesn’t park in my spot, I let him live.

In addition to lease signing, tomorrow we pick paint colors. The carpet is fairly new, in excellent condition, and is a rich shade of gray with a little fleck of burgundy, and those just happen to be my company colors. But the walls are … PURPLE and BLACK. I wouldn’t mind the black so much, since there are a lot of interesting things you can do with that. But it took about 5 minutes to realize the purple had already gotten old. Gotta go. So I’m thinking light gray walls, maybe with one accent wall in a deep mauve. We’ll see…

As previously mentioned, the campus-like complex is nestled in a stand of tall pine trees. There are other varieties too. The tree on the left of the photo is a magnolia, and it is in full bloom just now. The one to the right is … I honestly don’t know since I paid no attention to it. Will check when I’m over there tomorrow. Hopefully it is not some scrub tree that easily sheds limbs during storms. If so, maybe the other guy can have that parking spot after all.

Thanks to the well wishers who offered support through their comments and email. Anyone available to help move, let me know. I had promised that I would be blogging less as this unfolds and requires more time. So far it has affected only my time to get around, read and comment on yours. But I promise again, as soon as time permits, I will not be writing as much for you to waste your time on.

It sounds like you are SO on top of things Winston. I really like your new building…very sharp actually. And, I love the color combo you’re thinking about to replace the purple….light gray and mauve….very classic. It all sounds like it will come together beautifully. I even like your little end office and it’s tall windows. I see a lot of positives….
I’m on the way to help you…I’ve got my own packing tape.
New Office…

The office looks like a wonderful place to go to work each day. Good luck with the paint colors. I am a white wall person after many errors with colored walls.
[...] Slowly, as time and work schedule have permitted over the past couple of weeks, we’ve been sorting, pitching, trashing, and packing what’s left for the move of our offices. Already I am sore, back hurting, knees wobbly, hands bruised. And we ain’t seen nothing yet! [...]
