Welcome to the Jungle

Our office is moving soon – Friday, to be exact. This is the second time we have moved in less than a year. How, you're wondering. We pushed our lease as far as we could at Original Location which we all loved. When the lease was up at Original Location, the construction at Brand-Spanking New Office hadn't yet progressed like we planned, so we had to come up with a Temporary Space. Temporary Space is a few small offices and one really giant room. Original Location was too small for us and cut up funny – a bad combination – so the move to Temporary Space was welcomed.

Temporary Space has a huge wall of windows. The Big Room is where most of us sit – sixteen of us, to be exact. Despite all of the bulk furniture and personal belongings, we have oodles of room, so much so that Big Bosses invested in Razor scooters which we're always using to zip around the office.

All of that aside – Brand-Spanking New Office is (almost) finished, and Temporary Space has invited us to leave. While Brand-Spanking New Office won't be 100% ready when we move in – it'll be pretty gosh-darn close! Friday, we're working from home while all of the actual moving happens. We're nothing less than ecstatic.

Monday was a big day as they started staining the concrete floors in Brand-Spanking New Office. By the end of the day, the other offices in the building had to evacuate because the fumes were so strong. Tuesday, Operation Apology went into effect full swing as we delivered (absolutely amazing) muffins to each office that we inadvertently forced to leave.

Brand-Spanking New Office has stained concrete floors, glass doors, bright paint and an overall industrial feel. The other offices in the building have marble floors, deep wood paneling, beveled mirrors, paisley couches and an overall law-office feel.

Who wants to bet they already hate us?

about the author

Emily (n.) 1983 - Present

A loud-laughing twenty-something female who prefers flip flops to all other shoes, yet has a closet full that go unworn. Can often be found in front of a computer screen designing websites or playing "The Sims". Hates messes, cancelled plans and loud volumes. Loves suffocating summer heat, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (now with banana) and friends who know what you’re going to say before you ever open your mouth.

Warning: often speaks too quickly; listen carefully.

Where would a girl be without friends? I love 'em for a reason. Stop by. Say hello. Tell them I sent you.
