Movin' Along

Thursday was moving day. Once again we are being relocated. Half the staff (including me) is going to a building in Farmington, and the other moving to the building where we recently moved our main data center.

So, it was a day of packing up, labeling and loading boxes onto skids, shrink wrapping them, etc. Worse, I’m the official PM for this so had to coordinate and oversee everything.

But, despite a few hiccups, everything seemed to go well. I ate what was probably my last lunch at home. I was just about 1/2 mile from home before, now I’ll be 8-10 miles away.

It started snowing when I was returning from lunch. It was coming down pretty hard and sticking to the ground when I left work at 4:00 PM. The roads were slippery, too. But it seemed to stop about 8:00 and I doubt if we picked up another inch.

However, we are supposed to pick up 2-5 inches of snow Friday night into Saturday. Normally, I wouldn’t care, but I have to drive to the doctor’s Saturday morning. This could get dicey!

I had lasagna for dinner and watched TV until the news was over at 11:30 PM. I woke up for a bathroom break at 2:30 AM and never did really fall back asleep. Friday will be a trial...

  1. It never stops, does it...20 miles a day = at least a gallon of gas or 3-4 dollars a day.
    Sorry to hear that news

  2. If end up buying lunch ever, check out Tim Horton's. I found their food accidentally but have been impressed the couple times I ate there. They have soups, sandwiches and wraps. Ingredients taste fresh and it's comparatively cheap - about $4 for the combo. Another bonus is most people don't know they have food, so I've never had to wait long.

  5. @ Jake Jake - I thought post increment in the blogosphere worked as short hand for "yeah, I second that!"

    I discovered Tim Horton's lunch foods when I used to travel in Canada with Joe. They definitely have good affordable foods.
