The Joys of Downsizing

When the company I worked for downsized from 60+ people to two, I felt very fortunate to be one of those two. We kept our 16,000 sq. feet of space for over a year with just the two of us rattling around in it, and when my co-worker recently had a baby- there was just me!

Last weekend we moved into new office space. It is 2,000 sq. feet of brand new space, built out just for us. We have gone from center city Syracuse out to the burbs, where things are happening! We have a great new mall within walking distance, where you can find such amenities as Starbucks, the Cold Stone Creamery, the Great Northern Pizza Kitchen, Chicago Uno Grill, the Bonefish Grill, Panera Bread, and Carrabba's. Yes, we've already tried them all! Moving is hard work, and we got very hungry! Besides, it was necessary to entertain our computer techie, who came all the way from MN (Mall of America country) to set up our computers and phones. Tom was pressed into service too, moving boxes, helping position our desks, and generally being our gofer. Thanks Tom!

We are now settling in nicely to our new space, and we are looking forward to getting to know our new neighbors and the neighborhood!
