Moving Around

Well, I'm in the midst of one of the more painful events. I'm moving, not into a new place, but moving my office. After several years in a small room, I am moving to a brightly light office with plenty of space. In fact, it even has a fireplace, which is unusual.

Of course, this has lead me to discover several things. One, I have way more stuff in my office then it was ever designed to hold and two, it's a lot harder and more time consuming to move your office than I expected. In fact, I am just about to move the computers and printers and, since things sometimes go wrong, I thought I would post my weekly blog entry before disaster struck.

I've also discovered that the top step of a flight of stairs is often just an inch or so taller than the other ones. This will lock the tires of a dolly from going any further. Of course, I discovered this after hauling a large filing cabinet up the flight of stairs by myself. I had to climb around the cabinet and lift it from the back, while fighting off visions of being crushed by the cabinet rolling down the stairs. One of my life's goals is to never make the cover of a newspaper by dying in some stupid and creative manner. I usually avoid this, but this time I came close.

All and all, I think moving an office once and while is a good thing has it makes you look at how you use or don't use your space properly and it's gives you a chance to clean out all the junk you collect over the years.

I'll post a photo once I'm back online.
