The Hunt Is On
Today, Randall, Terry and I were driven around by a real estate broker in our quest for the perfect office space. Our 1500 sqare foots are getting pretty tight and the open office is still driving me nuts. So our "perfect office" consists of private office space for the Roundtable development team and the rest open office so the S.O.S. guys can live it up like they are on Bourbon Street.
Of the six that we toured, I liked the first one best. And (believe it or not) it is directly across the street from our favorite karaoke watering hole, Durty Nellys. Not that it has any bearing on my opinion, but I did think it was quite the coincidence. It is upstairs and has a loft-like look and feel. There is a courtyard in the middle and a big skylight which allows natural light to flow into the office. None of the other offices we looked at did much for me. However, there is still a long way to go in our hunt. Moving to a new office is always exciting and I am looking forward finding a new "home". If I am going to spend 50+ hours per week in a room, I damn sure want to be comfortable.
The beard is coming along nicely. I've decided to trim it occasionally instead of letting it just grow into a big bush. I think Jaclyn secretly likes it. In face, she has taken to calling me 'furry' instead of the usual 'fuzzy'. Of course Lori does not care for it (she is not a face hair girl). I think that she prefers her guys not to be "too manly". Hell, I feel like I should be starring in the next "Lord of the Rings" movie with this thing.
Well, it is almost 9:00pm. That means I should write some pre-bedtime code.

I think the new office will probably do wonders for your group.
It'll be good for all parties involved to start afresh on a new playing field. (As opposed to you and Randall having to come in and forge some necessary space for the two of you and anyone else who happens to come along.)
The simple act of relocating and finding a space that is functional to both of your groups will likely change the ways that you work with each other -- in positive ways.
Call me crazy, but there are whole books on these things. They call it feng shui and I believe that there is some truth to it.
About the beard: You're right. I think I am secretly enjoying it. Who would have knew! I definitely prefer it over the 1- to 2-day five o'clock shadow that is usually going on. :-)
Who is Lori?
