The move at work
We've been told that we are moving our offices (O.K., movers are coming) on May 12. Having been around for a few years, I would not be shocked if this actually took place a day or two earlier or a couple days later.
That said, my new mailing address will be:
NYS SBDC SUNY Plaza Corporate Woods Building, 3rd Floor Albany, NY 12246-0001
For deliveries from FedEx or UPS or other vendors the actual physical address for the new location will be:
If you are mailing anything to me, I've been told that the items will be forwarded. Still, you might consider NOT mailing anything that won't reach me by May 8 until after May 15.
I usually give out my work mailing address for packages. It's not a matter of privacy. It's the fact that we don't have a mailbox at the house, we have a mail slot, and a small one at that. Often, packages are left on the porch.
I'm supposed to have the same e-mail address at work, but it will be disrupted at least temporarily at some point. You may wish to e-mail me at home pretty much from May 10 to May 16 if you really want to be sure that I read what you sent in a timely fashion. I tend to look at my work e-mail more, but I will make a concerted effort to pay more attention to the home e-mail that week.
Also, the main phone number, 518 443-5398, will remain the same, but I BELIEVE I'll have a different exchange, or totally separate number in the new place. Details on this, like so many other aspects of this move, are sketchy at best. *** I was up in the attic bring down stuff we were going to pass on to friends of ours, parents of a daughter about a year younger than Lydia, when I came across a file with newspaper clippings. To my surprise, there was one I missed (!) when I wrote about it recently, the August 14, 1998 item. If you wish, you can answer here the question that the newspaper writer asked, which was about the worst TV show ever. *** A couple interesting posts I read this week both about youth and class distinctions:
There's no good term for moving offices. "Bon voyage" doesn't quite cut it, "toot-a-loo" sounds way too frivolous. We must challenge all of our English major/scrabble champion/cross-word-playing friends to come up with an appropriate phrase.
Cruised your blog today--loved the pictures of Ms. Lydia and her beaming smile.
Also saw you presented at a conference where the technology didn't work--gave me flashbacks of MEB making me put a presentation on slides, in powerpoint and on paper, not to mention driving me to save a laptop versus warning coworkers when the building was on fire! I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now... :)
You know, technically you don't have to show ANY ID anytime, and they still have to let you in. I'm hoping that if I can convince enough people that this is true (which it most certainly is) then we can put a stop to this phony baloney illegal "security."
They charge for parking. Lovely. Then your employer should pay for your parking, or provide mass transit.

Hello, Christmas Day falls on December 25. It is preceded by Christmas Eve on December 24, and in some countries is followed by Boxing Day on December 26. Some Eastern Orthodox Churches celebrate Christmas on January 7, which corresponds to December 25 on the Julian calendar. December 25 as a birthdate for Jesus is merely traditional, and is not thought to be his actual date of birth.Good luck!
