We're moving offices!

[Greg-J]

Man I'll tell you... Some people are completely ignorant to the laws they are to abide by. I've been a landlord for a few years now and the first thing I did was study up on what my obligations and restrictions were as a leasing property owner. Apparently the gentlemen who we lease our office from didn't do that.

We came to find out he illegally entered the premises while nobody was here twice in the past week! Oregon State Law (where our offices are located) obviously prevents that, but also awards me one months rent each time he does that but more importantly, let's me out of the lease.

So we're moving shop from our current 1,200 square foot location to a newer smaller 350 square foot location. It might seem like a downgrade, but the new location is perfect for our needs. It's a professional office building with full amenities and some of the other inhabitants are web developers as well. There's a nice board room, cafeteria and copying and faxing for us as well.


I'll post pictures when we move in. :cheers:

[minnseoelite]

sweet i guess sometimes what seems like a bad thing can actually be a good thing in the end.......cant wait to see some pics of the new club house

[NYCBORN]

Didn't even know you had an office. I thought MSP was your office :)

[Greg-J]

Yeah we're looking forward to it.


I know nycborn, most people think we run this from our bedrooms :P

[minnseoelite]

actually i thought it was from your livingroom :P

[fapsian]

We came to find out he illegally entered the premises while nobody was here twice in the past week!

No security alarm?

[Cyclops]

Thats a hassle ... it's not so long ago that you moved in.

[Greg-J]

Only 6 months.

[NYCBORN]

My office is my living room. I'm laying down on my red chaise sofa looking at my 40 inch Sony LCD. I wouldn't trade it for the world.

[Greg-J]

You must not have young children at home all day ;)

[NYCBORN]

I see your point. Luckily 31 and no kids but soon as I create some I'm getting an office like you :)

[misterproline]

Are you going to go after the 2 months of rent he owes you for the 2 times he tresspassed?

[minnseoelite]

i have my office in my living room and have my kid home all day long....wouldn't trade it for the world

[Cyclops]

I have an office in my house, and a computer set up for my almost 4 year old grandson. It's great except he wants me to go outside and work around the house planting trees, mowing, bruscutting etc .... worse than the wife lol.

[minnseoelite]

lol yea my daughter makes me take a break like every hour or two to take her outside to play....im like dont you want daddy to work to make the money and she tells me i can go and play and make money lol

I am sooooooo jealous.To work in a place like that is a dream.With like minded people too!!!!!

Good luck.I can't wait for the pics.
If there any jobs available for a guard dog who smokes a bit too much just let me know. :)

[Kyle]

Greg, what do you mean this office has all amenities? What kind of goodies does it have :) ?

[not2late]

amenities?

chocolate fountain and jacuzzi ??

[Kyle]

Greg said "It's a professional office building with full amenities and some of the other inhabitants are web developers as well."

So maybe :)

[MKInfo]

All amenities to me means a computer with internet connection,coffee machine and ashtray.
What more could you possibly want?
:rolleyes:

[minnseoelite]

a fountain that dispenses beer instead of water

[Marty]

I'm getting an office soon :) - Next to Manchester airport probably.

[Panic!]

[Marty]

[Panic!]

Ooh skemersdale I know that part - am from the Liverpool 1 area by town.

[Marty]

That's crazy, propa scatty ya get me? LOL

[Panic!]

[Marty]

[Des]

Ya I cant wait to see pics, sounds pretty nice, and its close to the bar to :D my main distraction while I work is my ferret which isnt to bad except she likes rubber, especially my mouse wheel :s

So get on it haus and give us some pictures!!

[Greg-J]

I'll get pictures soon. We'll be out of here on Saturday and hopefully we'll just move straight from here to the new place.

As for amenities, the new facility has a board room free for us to reserve and a full kitchen, bathrooms, included cleaning service and two very large common areas for people to wait, relax or whatever in. The best part is the elevator, I would hate to have to lug the office furniture up a flight of stairs :s

I'll get pics tomorrow.

[ADIO2]

When one door closes another one opens... no pun intended

[Sergio]

Size doesn't matter :P I moved from a house to an apartment and I'm way more comfy here.

Looking forward for the pics.

[feyv]

that sux i hope everything goes well

[Michelle]

Size doesn't matter :P

According to the Myspace spam, it does. ;)

I want to see pictures!:smartass:

[3rdelement]

I think size matters as well. I always disliked small offices where. Open space makes me feel so much more comfortable a work, whether my living room or the office ...lol

Professional look is always good for visiting clients. The boardroom and cafeteria is a good look as well. Sets the tone with employees as well. Much better then gathering around desks that pple tend to sit on and spill their coffe on ur keyboard and paperwork(((FLASHBACK.... FLASHBACK))):2guns:

[ajarchibald3]

an office is key. You can get so much more work done

[ryan]

damn sounds nice, where is your server located at what data center, and is it a dedicated?

[yanikeke]

what? an office? humn...this is just a part-time i guess

[dude]

lol, where can i work for you!!! .. lol

[Spade]

Sounds like you guys are doing great, and i'm sure being in that new but smaller office will be short-lived. Once myeeos starts, hiring will be sure to follow (along with a substantial revenue increase we hope!). Best of luck to you in the new office!

On a side note... I feel your pain with the leasing/rental agreements. RHA (renter's housing association) has rules such as the ones you listed about landlord/tenant agreements, etc. Let's just hope that you get what's coming from the old one, and that no sensative information was lost the intrustion.

[Greg-J]

We're in!



I wasn't sure it was going to happen, but we're finally in the new office! As of right now I'm sitting in the new office and we have temporary internet courtesy of Clearwire until our cable company provisions the building (hopefully tomorrow, but we'll see how that works out...).

The internet here is crazy slow (256 up and 1.5 down :(), but I might just be spoiled. Once I find my camera I'll take pictures.


It's going to take me some time to get caught up on messages and emails, so be patient with me as I plug back in to the hive mind that is myspacepros.

[minnseoelite]

looking forward to seeing the new headquarters

[Kasami2k4]

Me and my parents had landlords like that in MI. Theyd try to coax our dogs out of the house and call animal control on them. Our dogs were quiet and stuff, they just didnt like dogs. If I seen them now, as an adult, I would probably punch the chick square in the face with a ring on, and bag the guy in the nuts.

[Sergio]

Very nice Greg, I'm looking forward to seeing the new office. :D

[donwilson]

Let's see some pictures! =)
