Yeah, I've been blogless for a couple of days. That's part of the drawback of forming the bad habit of blogging from the office during the day. So that, for instance, if they're moving your office and they 'accidentally' take down your network 24 hours before they're supposed to, you can't do your regular updates.
And if you've found yourself schlepping a lot of boxes and whatnot, you come home exhausted in the evenings and collapse into a chair, with no energy to blog.
It might have made a couple of interesting blog entries, the trials, tribulations, and missteps of the last couple of days, but it's over now....
Today will mark my first 40-mile journey north to the new office. I'm very excited about it, as you can imagine. Not the least because we had a gross snowstorm yesterday that, while it didn't do much in the way of accumulation, staying at 6" or less, dropped a lot of water (read: ice) everywhere. Both Bernie and the morning traffic reports insist that the roads are fine today, though.
It's fairly typical that it snowed on the day of the move, though, don't you think?
It didn't do me and Bernie that much damage, 90% of our stuff got moved on Tuesday, but naturally King Procrastinator, Buehler, got nailed since he'd scheduled both the movers & truck to take the stuff he was keeping to the new office and the junk guys to haul everything else away, for back-to-back visits on Wednesday.
Half of the 10% of stuff that Bernie and I didn't get moved on Tuesday is currently weighing down my car. (He moved the rest yesterday.)
Probably the only reason I'm glad to be going to Boulder today is the knowledge that I'll be able to dump all of that stuff off, instead of having to haul it around with me for a week. I need the space in my car. The Christmas stuff has never been left sitting around for this long before and I'm determined to get it all hauled back into storage this weekend. We're not supposed to have any more bad weather and I'm sick to death of looking at the (admittedly small) stack of boxes in the corner of the living room. Quick, before another major storm blows through, I want to get it out of my sight.
Other than that, I'm afraid I have nothing interesting to report.
So, uh, how often are you going to be making that 40 mile trek to the "new office"?

It's tricky. We can't get into our actual office space until the 6th or 7th, so stuff is stacked in an unused office space. (Bernie is keen to get a couple of the computers hooked up in there today, but I'm not sure why since we won't have a network or internet access.)
I'll probably be working from home tomorrow and Tuesday but as I've mentioned before, most of my job can't really be done remotely, so I'm going to have to resign myself to make the trip at least half a dozen more times in the next couple of weeks.
I'll know better how I feel about that after I've done it today.
