We're Official !

Wednesday, October 28

Walls have been primed for paint.

Staff had a field trip to the new office suite this afternoon. I think everyone enjoyed their visit to see how our new space is coming together. Staff were given an opportunity to choose an accent color for one of their walls - tally is 8 charred clay; 3 evening shadow; and 5 salisbury green.

Another option for staff to consider in organization is the slatwall systems. See the email about it on Thursday.

Received some distressing news from UM IT late afternoon that our internet and phone antennae is on hold with the powers that make decisions at W.T. They had decided internally to not allow any more antennae's on top and failed to inform anyone. so keep fingers crossed that we will be allowed to move forward.

Copier Move Date

The copier will be moved by UM on Friday, November 20. Please plan ahead or plan to use Kinkos for any copies that day and until we arrive for "work" on the 30th.

Tip for Packing Away Files

Hello all!

I was packing files and I thought I would share something that I learned at a class I took long ago about file retention. The one thing they stressed about packing away files is to not put the hanging folders in boxes. If you are packing the files away to be put in storage (like old accounting files or event files) there is no use for the hanging files in the banker boxes, they add a lot of weight to the box, and they are too expensive to just be "hanging out" in a box.

Hope this helps as we all finish packing up our offices for the big move!!

Hi,

Many of the moving companies have crates we can rent. These crates are easier to pack and transport items, especially hanging file folders I'm told. I recommend holding off on packing any file cabinets until we receive these. I will make a decision on movers by the end of the month. Also 3 of the companies said that the bottom two drawers could remain full on the laterals. So that is an additional thing not to pack.

Map of Area

I can't figure out how to open the map itself up to others, but if you send me an address and info on something nearby and interesting, I am happy to add it to this map.
