These desk (or pods as Herman Miller calls them) arrived and were assembled monday afternoon. I don’t know if it is just NYC but the craftsmanship on everything thus far has been terrible. They had no clue the the hard backing and padding goes between the orange walls so we could use it to pin thing on. The little closet things are falling off and the left parts to the desk in the box cause they couldn’t figure it out.

sigh

And i feel like these pods are just a bit too big for our space. Well, not too big just along with our table and seating area it is a bit crowded. We are going to attempt to change it soon.

And on the second day they got paint and cork walls.

We don’t get the ‘net til next week so until then I have to constantly search around the office for the free wireless sweet spot (i think i found it on the windowsill)

This past Friday I spent most of the day waiting for several deliveries of furniture. The stuff in the black plastic wrapped cases were the Herman Miller conference table and chairs. I’m a bit concerned about the table. My preference would be to have one big table that acted both as our desk and a conference table (and not round) but i’ll just have to save that for when I pay for everything myself. The couch is my favorite piece so far – old, cracked black leather leather.

Today our IT guy, Chuck, is coming to get the phone lines working and maybe set up the T1 line (or is that next week?). He asked for authentic brooklyn pizza so for lunch there is no better place to take him than Grimaldi’s Pizzeria over by the bkln bridge. Ive got a feeling im going to know that place very well pretty quickly.

of course i’ll keep you updated with the progress.
