So, everyone in the office is excited - we move to our new office space tomorrow. My cube is already boxed up and wheeled over, everyone else is slowly boxing up their own as they have time. The hard part will not be the cubes, but all of the servers and switches and equipment which has accreted like corral.

We have a couple of movers coming in tomorrow to help us with the heavy stuff and I’m sure everyone will pitch in and help. The better question will be whether or not all of the services are working when we get there.

I already know the first thing I’ll miss is the closeness that the current cubes engender. While it’s slightly annoying to hear people talk or make phone calls it is also fun to be ‘plugged-in’ to the rest of the company and to have someone to chat with on those long, slow, boring afternoons. Now, we’ll all be spread out and while it will be VERY quiet where I sit - it will also be a little lonely.

There is a lot of excitement, and at least part of it is the sense that the company is going some place. We’re moving into a space three times our present size. Maybe this is the sign that we’re really taking off! Or, maybe people just want to try out their new seats and look out their new windows and expand into their new places.

Of course, without some more sales all of this is for naught. All of the positive morale and work inducing environment can’t make up for a lack of sales. I’m going to keep my fingers crossed.
