Working for a successful company has it's problems, like what happens when you double the number of employees in 18 months and run out of space in your building? You move.

And move we are. I've spent the last 3 months preparing for the move of our computing infrastructure and just spend a harrowing two weeks pleading and cajoling our Internet and private line providers to get our two DS3's installed in time for the move. This has meant several late nights letting telecom vendors into the new office building, multiple frantic phone calls and e-mails as deadlines were missed, and having to tell the CEO everyday that we were way behind schedule.

A bit stressful.

I desperately needed to get exercise today just to regain my sanity. After three days without a little training, my work productivity suffers. So tonight's easy run was a blessing, even if I really didn't feel like doing it. Heck, the run felt hard! But I'll feel better tomorrow.

Which is good, because the data center moves tomorrow and my team will be up all night getting things running at the new office...

Evening Run
Easy distance

Left work in time to get a short run in. Tired tonight. Tomorrow I could easily be at work past midnight...
