We've stayed in our old place as long as possible but the power's gonna to be cut off in a couple of days and the the cabins will be moved, so this weekends it's now or never so to speak for the moving or be office less.
The Job for this Saturday is to move our furniture and stuff to our new office, well its not really an office more a bleeding big room which will be used for vehicle preparation when the facility is up and running.
Tho other reason no one want to move is there isn't a phone line and the Internet isn't connect up yet either, we can do without a phone line as we all have cell phones but nowadays it's difficult to live or work without an Internet connection. Been promised the Internet will be connected on Monday but I'm not holding my breath neither is anyone else but i guess we'll see on Monday, got to give em the benefit of the doubt.
So Saturday comes around and we get stuck into moving, didn't realise how much furniture and other crap we had accumulated over nearly a year in the old place, time to throe some stuff away me thinks (photos below show the old office lived in and when empty)
First problem we came across was getting into the building, it's all secure now with electronic access cards and all that, you can't even get into the vehicle lift with out a card. Honda had given me an access card a couple of days ago but we could only get one even though i asked for four, so no problem you would think just use the card. Unknown to me when i got it seems it was only set up for weekday access and not weekend access, when i tried to use it Saturday got a very sweet Japanese lady's voice coming out of the speaker basically telling me to sod of and come back Monday. (photos below show new office told you it was just a big room)
So that's why I'm not real hopeful about the Internet being connected on Monday, anyway plan B sprang into action. There is all this electronic security on the building now it is finished but i still know of a way to break in, like i say use plan B if all else fails break in. Technically its not breaking in as i am not breaking anything just something they have forgot to do, I'll tell them when i know my card has the right access on it.
So back to the move, plan was to load the cars up with all the furniture and the other crap take it to the vehicle lift off load on to trolleys then out of the lift to the new office. Our new place was on the second floor so the lift would save a lot of humping and lifting and take hopefully half the time.
Everything went smoothly we moved almost everything but left a couple of chairs and tables in the old office along with the router and stuff, we could move these at the last minute still being in the old office would give us access to the Internet for as long as possible, all depended on when they cut the power.
Turning up Monday did not look very promising to be able to stay in the old place for a bit longer and use the Internet, power had already been cut ready to dismantle and move it the next day. We moved everything to the new place, definitely did not feel like home and no one liked it but, as they say time will tell.
The only good thing about the move at the moment is we are actually in the building we are moving to so no walking backwards and forwards, especially when it's raining.
So that if for now we're moved in the new office but with no phone line and no Internet connection, sort of seems like we are stuck in the middle of nowhere, on view for everyone to see not nearly as cosy as the old place.
Check out the photo on the left, one weeks supply of fags from the office next door, well maybe two weeks, to say that people smoke a lot over here is a bit of an understatement.
