Still Moving

Posting has been slow, especially compared to the number of boxes I've been filling this week.

For those who missed the post last week, Aspen Research is on the move to a new, bigger-and-better location. But is all comes at a price. Mr. Client, we won't be running your sample this week.

In the process, we've all learned a few things.

• Nothing gets chemists to stop bench work and start packing like shutting down their hoods.
• A hydraulic lift table
  
  is fabulous for sliding heavy lab equipment off the bench and then onto a pallet. Don't move without one.
• I need to go through all the papers I've collected over the years and toss some of them. At the same time, some of them definitely need to be reread (and blogged about).
• Everybody is all wrong about zombies. When they are wandering about, they are NOT looking for "Brains!", but internet connectivity. When we lose ours on Friday PM, you're going to see 42 lost people wandering around with their computers looking for "Internets!" If we were to become zombies, why would you expect us to behave any different?

After a week of this effort, we are making headway. Stuff is disappearing from the staging areas and into trucks faster than it is being replaced. People are starting to straddle between the two buildings. Off we go.
