Yay! I hope you've already figure out where you're going to put the guest cubicles with the fold out bunks.
Stop giving Lisa ideas.. many of us spend too much time in the office as it is. Adding bunks is right out!

Guest bunks, Mr. Bulmahn, guest bunks!
Just think, there could be a sleep-over subscription!
Will there be pictures of the new digs?
Edit: Oops. Missed joela's post. Add me to the list of folks who would like to see pics, then.

Bunks are not a big concern. When you notice that your desk chair has been replaced with an unmovable white porcelain chair with a flip up lid, then you know that effective time management is becoming an issue.
The new office still had that new dungeon smell, too. I think you can buy that in a spray can now.

A take-home can could be part of the entire subscription experience!
I hope we get pictures of the new place as soon as it's operational!
What kind of time-frame are we looking at?
You people need to start thinking like dragons. Five years is NOTHING. I barely have time to count every coin in my hoard during five years, and let me tell you, getting my minions to properly silversheen the florins so that they don't tarnish is a major pain in the backside. Those silver coins are ALMOST more trouble than they're worth, what with having to keep alchemists on call and buttered up to maintain them in anything resembling a presentable state. (And let me tell you that alchemists are a few of the lesser beings you need to keep buttered up, since if they start deliberately brewing that silversheen wrong, they can make a real mess of things.) Still, it is tremendously satisfying to smash the occasional undead or other-planar interloper into a mountain of silver coins and to smell the acrid smoke (and hear the occasional squeals of pain in the case of devils) as the metal seers into them.
And moving offices? Don't talk to me about moving offices. It's cheaper and easier to 'persuade' a druid to divert a lava flow than to move lairs and a hoard that at the last estimate contained over fifteen million in coins, twenty seven major artworks, twenty-two racks of scrolls, three golf-bags of enchanted swords, ten suits of mithral armour, two pipe organs, the skull of a dinosaur king, and the admantine canary of Emperor Xoot. Oh, and those gems. They get EVERYWHERE. Last time I had a spring clean, I found handfuls of them in the bottom of the sandpit where I go to roll and shed my scales every decade. My minions were six weeks sieving sand, retrieving those gems.
You humans and half elves have no idea how easy you have it.

Geez. I thought it was just a few years ago as well.Nope, we moved from our original offices in September of 2004. Five years ago already. Boy, does time fly.
-Lisa
Well, we did actually run a "moving sale" on magazines a couple of years ago when we *thought* we were going to move, but that lease fell through, so we stayed. That might be why some of you thought we moved more recently.

Yes those Humans and half elves do have it easy. Even the Elves and Dwarves have it easy. ~thinks for a minute~ Oh, and where exactly is your lair again?
I have a nice little tropical island somewhere approximately two hundred million years ago. The trouble with travelling in four dimensions to get there is go too far one way and you hit an ice age, and too far the other and you wind up in the middle of a shower of enormous meteorites causing mayhem and destruction. My island does have the advantage of being remote - most treasure hunters and anything capable of even remotely being an enemy literally wasn't even born yet - but proves problematic in terms of getting staff with opposable digits if I don't bring them in myself.
And the rate those prehistoric bayou grow at.... <shudders>... I've had to engineer a species of tree eating land-dwelling giant trilobites just to keep the view remotely presentable.
This move might be a terrible thing. Not in terms of vast space improvements or the physical act (which many of us stooges have blessedly little to do with), but in the packing/cleaning aspect. Case in point: Lisa strolls back to the editorial pit yesterday to show off something she found while tidying up: a bloody BULL WHIP. Somehow I'm doubting that's going back in the junk drawer... and I feel like our scheduling issues just got a lot more dire.

Umm, Wes, please tell me that 'bloody' in this case was an expletive, not that the whip actually had blood on it. Because that's a whole lot scarier.

Don't you just love your new job? :)

…and then we need another 'Which Paizo staff member have you slept with' thread.
Hank's gone, CJ.
And, uh, CF, I would specify that I'd be a Platonic subscriber.

thanks...now that song is stuck in my head!
Crack that whip
Give the past the slip
Step on a crack
Break your mommas back
When a problem comes along
You must whip it
Before the cream sits out too long
You must whip it
When somethings going wrong
You must whip it
Now whip it
Into shape
Shape it up
Get straight
Go forward
Move ahead
Try to detect it
Its not too late
To whip it
Whip it good
When a good time turns around
You must whip it
You will never live it down
Unless you whip it
No one gets away
Until they whip it
I say whip it
Whip it good
I say whip it
Whip it good
Crack that whip
Give the past the slip
Step on a crack
Break your mommas back
When a problem comes along
You must whip it

Ah yes, the beginning of many DEVO purchases in my youth.
If you guys find an energy dome hat during the move, I'll be really impressed.

Hank's gone, CJ.
I missed the memo. :-|
And I see your Devo and raise with some Bass/Rankin...

In your case. Just because none of them like you in that way.
Erik's been eyeing me for months.

Uhhh... boss. Stop giving away hints at the location of your horde to other dragons. I don't like silver dragon breath. It burrrnnssssss...

~gives a very toothy, wicked smile~ Oh, come on! My breath does not hurt as much as my claw, claw, bite attack does.
Good one, CJ. My daughter loved that song when she was a kid.
And CF, the subscription specification goes for fellow subscribers as well...

Good luck with the move all! Lisa, don't be afraid to use the whip! Worker's Comp claims are very hard to prove!

I've been spending most of this week packing box after box. Half the warehouse is gone in the endless supply of moving trucks. I expect the rest will be gone by tomorrow. You don't realize how much stuff there is until you try to move it. That warehouse was put together like a Chinese puzzle. Jeff Alvarez is over at the new place (which is something like 3 times bigger) complaining about running out of room! Of course, our pallet racking isn't in yet, so that will help a bunch. Only two more days of endless packing. Sigh. And then the unpacking begins. Looks like I will be working through the weekend again.

I empathize. As an ex-Navy brat and then ex-Soldier, I have done more than my fair share of moving.
