Who moved my mouse?

unpacking and restocking

Thursday night saw the team (and some cameos) in the new office, reconstructing our desktops from mover's boxes and testing cable points into the wee hours, just to make sure the network would be in some usable state come Friday morning.

Come Friday morning, the tech folks are tired and worn out, and the connection in the new office is still unstable to the point where, after setting up their personal work areas, most people pack up and head home for the comfort of their home broadband and VPN. That's what I presumed, at any rate, but it was a Friday...

We are now located in a swankier part of town (but not by much, IMHO) with a moderately nicer view (ok fine, quite a bit nicer, but could be better still). It's far less convenient than I'd like, morning/lunch/evening traffic is hellish and parking charges are almost double compared to the old place. I tagged some of my flickr photos related to the office move, you can find them here.

Still trying to figure out new food places and optimal meal timings, but I guess that will take a couple of weeks at best. So we went with an old food place for lunch instead...

Had a taste of lunch hour traffic on Friday as we drove out to Beo Crescent for Hainanese Curry Rice - affectionately referred to as bak par png (bpp), or pork chop rice, by the office gang. The drive from the new office, shorter in terms of absolute distance, definitely took much longer than from the old office - ouch.

But the trip was worth it. Good old bpp. Still satisfying after all this time.
