March 20, 2025: New Digs

We moved to our office at the beginning of 2018, I believe it was. Since then, we've lost a chunk of people (one division was moved to a subsidiary and then out of the office altogether) and moved to a hybrid work from home schedule. As such, we've got a lot of space that we no longer need, so they've been looking for a new location. This building (which is still a candidate to stay in if they can rework the lease to their liking) is low on amenities. One of the candidate office looks really nice though. I'm trying to put my thumb on the scale for that one.

Speaking of video conferences, I've mentioned that I love how international my division is. We source from everywhere and we sell to everyone.

For example, trying to sync up a meeting between, say, the US, the UK, and Japan means at least one continent is going to get the shaft on the start time.

March 16, 2025: False Alarm

That big storm the other night just nicked us. The forecast and radar was doom and gloom, and they even raised the tornado sirens at midnight. I thought, huh, I guess a big one is coming. And then we got... a little rain. Pattered for maybe an hour. No lightning or anything. I was awake, but I'm sure everyone else was thrilled to have an unexpected wake up call.
