Put a sticker on it

Unfortunately, I don’t get to hang out with my three loves 24/7. I have to go to work. To pay for kibble. And Kongs. And peanut butter. And Bubba stuff.

For now at least – until someone book or movie options my blog. Or I win the lotto. Or my Prince gets his GPS fixed and finds me!!

Our team is moving floors in our building and I’ve been the one nominated to make sure it happens smoothly. Seems I’m the one with OCD superior organisation skills. I’ve been cracking the whip so that we make sure everyone and everything is packed for moving to the right place in the right timeframe.

Someone suggested I put my last ‘friendly email reminder’ on my blog. Apparently it’s vaguely amusing. And not a little silly. So here it is.

SUBJECT: oh no, not ANOTHER email from her … do I HAVE to read it?

Yep, ‘fraid so!

A quick walk around L25 and it looks like we’re in fairly good shape for the move. Yay Team.

If you have a cupboard that is yours, but it doesn’t have a sticker on it – it will not be moved. I repeat it will not be moved. So, the best way to ensure everything that’s yours goes with you to L26 (or gets moved around L26 to find you on Monday morning) is to put a sticker on it.

If you like it then you shoulda put a sticker on it – oh oh oh.

Good luck trying to get that Beyonce tune out of your head now. At least it will stop you thinking about that ridiculous Moves Like Jagger song. What? [note: one of my earlier emails about our move had a lot of references to Moves Like Jagger.]

There are spare stickers on my desk. Knock yourself out.

Steve [our boss] and I are both working from home tomorrow (separate homes that is) but contactable by the usual methods.

If you have any silly questions about the move, feel free to get them out of your system today, because although I may know the answer tomorrow, me pointing in the general direction of whatever you’ve asked is probably going to be of very little use when I’m  at home and you’re here.

Okay, a quick round up of things not to forget:
– put a sticker on it (oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh …)
– team items (cupboards/bookshelves/moveable whiteboards/etc): decide where they’re going and PUT A STICKER ON IT (oh oh … oh, you get the picture)
– give Chloe [the fish] a kiss goodbye, or just make funny faces at her like I do and don’t forget the Eel – don’t want him to feel left out. Does he even have a name (and is he a he?). I digress. [update: he is a he although I’m not really sure how they figure that out and his name is Eddie]
– unplug EVERYTHING (and make sure it has a …)
– put a S_I_ _ER (playing hangman now – I’m obviously bored) on your chair
– make sure all of this is done no later than 5pm on Friday
– go to the bar and have yourself a well-deserved drink (but not until you’ve put STICKERS on all of your belongings and unplugged everything). Oh, and it’s Friday. At 5pm. If you go earlier than that, it wasn’t my idea …
– have an AWESOME (sticker-free) weekend
– don’t forget to press 26 when you get in the lift on Monday morning.

Happy stickerpacking!
