What is it about the very thought of moving that sets the brain into a tail-spin. Things are moving on a pace now - we're half-way there - because we took possession of our new office on Friday.
But, I'm actually writing this blog from our old office. Yes, Bank House Farm is now referred to as the "old" office because quite frankly, we can't wait to move out now. Sorry "old office" - you've done us proud and I just know I will miss you but Drive By Websites is going up a gear and we're on the move.
The reason why we might not have to divert and dongle is because the new 'phone line is scheduled to be installed tomorrow - between 8am and 1pm. 8am - are they kidding?
So there we are on Friday - possession day. We've already got our lovely new office set out with suitably arranged desks - the Drive By Website corner is nice and spacious to comfortably accommodate our Drive By Website clients. No longer will our clients have to be up "very close and friendly" - there's now enough leg room for comfort and to retain some dignity. There's also a very nice area to "meet and greet" our clients and another area to accommodate yours truly. But no computers, no internet and no 'phones.
During handover, we had to run through the dreaded burglar alarm system in respect of how to get in (and out) "out of hours". Scott and I just looked at each other with a look of sheer panic and wonderment because for 5 years, we just haven't had anything like alarms to worry about. Harry ran through the routine but you just know when its your turn - on your lonesome - that from the time you type in the number to open the front door, to the time you get to the alarm buttons your brain will have turned to mush as you desperately try to remember to type in the correct numbers.
Guess what - the very first time we will be arriving at our new office - it will be down to the newbys on the block to let ourselves in and fumble with the alarm because BT could well be arriving "out of hours"......
Don't let us down BT - you will never know just how much we are relying on you.
Next week, we will be discussing marketing issues - more especially cold calling techniques - I promise.
