Moving Day

Moving Day!

Well the boss has left the area…I am the acting boss and let me tell you it’s stranger then even I thought it was going to be. There has already been one crises actually two but the second one was not too bad. We are just moving before we had planned. The IT guy showed up this morning and started moving the computers—then the phone guy showed and to move the phones and then we figured we may as well move since I want to be where my communication system is set up at. So we moved my main office today—the big stuff: file cabinets, promo items chairs and desks. Tomorrow, I am trying to have my son Mark A. come in to help with the minutia: Boxes of books, book cases and loose stuff. I also have meetings tomorrow so I may not even get to a lot of this stuff until Saturday or even Monday or beyond. Bottom line the move bas to be complete by the time Boss Lady returns from her vacation. So, I actually have a little more then a week before I really have to have this move complete.

I will be sitting with my back to the door facing my window on the West. I have a bunch of mirrors still in my old office I need to take down and set up in this office. One will be in my corner pointed towards the door and I will to place another mirror above the unoccupied desk in my office toward s the door and hall so folks cannot sneak up on me. I have my back covered.

This morning, less then an hour into my new reign as king of the office (KOTO), my boss calls from homer to inform me parts of the office are melting down and she wanted to give me a headsup. Seems like a couple of staff have been going after each other—I haven’t seen anything—and they may need talking to. Sounds like one might even be leaving the office. Boss is not going to worry about it till she gets back. If there is anything I can do please do it. Just keep things going till she until she returns. Luckily one staff is out for the rest of today and all day tomorrow and the staff who vows she is leaving has promised to stay on board till the real boss gets back.

The day is overcast and I feel cold and I misplaced. I have the move trauma-ed. I have the feeling of “ Why try, living out of boxes, my life is mixed up., files up in the air and having to get used to a new environment—one more time. I am plugged into the battery charger to be sure I have enough juice to get home.
Because of the office trauma I took off at lunch and went into the canyon and ate at the Judge Café—hot turkey sandwich. Even though the sky is overcast and gun metal grey the temperature is very warm almost 80 degrees. Maybe even thunder storms tonight. It is a definite foreshadowing of Winter.
