I have the powerrrrrrr
Sep. 15th, 2004 11:08 amHere I am, all moved to the new office. For a move that was all of 75 feet or so, it was a big pain in the butt. The fact that I consider it a less preferable location had me pretty un-thrilled about it in the first place, but when it became apparent that I'd pretty much have to move everything, including the furniture by myself, I was downright trying to find a reason to stay where I was.
I would've gotten everything moved yesterday, but upon discovering that the desk is way heavier than it looks, I went looking for a proper dolly to move it with. Thus started the Quest for the Magical Desk Moving Thing. This is a mythical device specifically made to move the heavy desks. Just like the Holy Grail, nobody knows exactly where it is. Everyone seems to vaguely recall it and have theories as to where it's at, but it defies location. I think I've seen the inside of every storage closet in the company in my searches.
This morning I got fed up and just grabbed a regular handtruck, hoisted the desk on end and wheeled it down to this office. Not an easy task. The desk is frickin HEAVY. It looks like your standard office desk, but must be made of some ultra dense particle board from trees that grow on Jupiter or something. When I was putting the handtruck back earlier, the receptionist couldn't believe I moved it by myself. According to her, the desks weigh in at a little under 300 pounds. I kinda find that hard to believe. Maybe that's the shipping weight when they were originally ordered and were all packed up and stuff. 'Course it felt even heavier when I was hauling it down the hallway. Just call me Samson.
