Stairs, filing cabinets and piles of paper
Yes, that’s right, we’ve got a problem with our filing. The big idea was that we buy a sparkly new filing cabinet for our sparkly new office, and leave the old one at home for home stuff.
But can we find somewhere that will deliver a filing cabinet to us and carry it up the stairs to our office? Is that really too much to ask? My foolish assumption was that delivery people would be equipt with things such as a stair trolley and would therefore be in a much better position to get the cabinet up the stairs than us. But no, it appears not.
We thought we’d found somewhere that would do it but several weeks after placing the order we were told they couldn’t do it because there was no lift in our building. If we had a lift we wouldn’t need help getting the darn thing up the stairs! So, that order was swiftly cancelled.
It’s now a month since we ordered the filing cabinet, the filing is mounting up, and we’re no nearer a solution. So, my question of the day is – is there anywhere that can sell us a filing cabinet and deliver it up the stairs for us? Or is there an alternative to a filing cabinet? Something that doesn’t involve one hefty piece of furniture? We’re open to suggestions!
Time for a comeback
It’s been a seriously long time since I’ve posted on here. A shamelessly long time. Well, it’s definitely time for a comeback.
My biggest piece of news from the last few months is that we’ve moved our business (Webfooted Designs) out of the home into an office. This is something that we’ve been wanting to do for a long time. Earlier this year we made a concerted effort to find somewhere but couldn’t find anything suitable.
We really wanted to keep our business in St Just, where we live. It’s a great place and we love being part of the community here. However, St Just is a very small Cornish town and doesn’t have a great deal of office space available at the moment. So, after a lot of asking around we decided to call a halt to the search and make more of our home office, making room for a meeting space so we would feel more comfortable asking clients here.
Of course, no sooner had we rearranged our house and got ourselves set up then the perfect office landed in our laps. It’s funny how that happens isn’t it? It has meant that we’ve had to move out of St Just but we’re only 5 miles down the road at Trereife (just outside of Newlyn). We’ve got a lovely spacious office, loads of easy parking and all in a beautiful setting. We feel very lucky.
