RE: Office move,  parking, and badge  migration

Team —

Quick updates on teh move to Building 7. Please read all of this, I don't want another week of  "nobody told me" emails.

1. MOVE DATES.  Engineering moves the weekend of Sept 20–21. Sales and CS move Sept 27–28. If you are not packed by 5pm Friday before your move weekend, the movers will pack for you and they will not be gentle about it. Label everything with your name AND new desk number (it's on the seating chart, don’t email me asking).

2. PARKING. The Building 7 garage has 340 spaces for 410 people, so we're going to a first-come basis for the first month while we negotiate overflow with the lot across Fandango Street. Overflow will cost the company $85 per space per month, which is why we only reserved 60 spaces. Carpoolers get reserved spots on P1 — register your carpool with reception by Sept 15.

3. BADGES. Your current badge stops working at Building 4 on Oct 1 at 9:00 AM sharp. New badges are ready for pickup at the Building 7 security desk starting Sept 18; bring photo ID. About 12% of badge photos failed the new system's quality check (mostly people who uploaded pictures of their dogs, you know who you are) — if you got an email from security@ last Tuesday, you need a retake.

4. THE ESPRESSO MACHINE. Yes, the La Marzocco is coming with us. No, you can't have it on your floor. It goes to the 3rd floor commons, majority vote wins, this is a democracy. The vote was 118–34, it wasn't close.

5. PLANTS. Personal plants must be moved by their owners. Facilities is not responsible for plant casualties. Last move we lost 40+ plants and I still get emails about a fern named “Gerald”.

Deadline recap: carpool registration Sept 15, badge pickup opens Sept 18, Engineering packed by Sept 19 at 5pm, badges die Oct 1.

Questions go to facilities@ NOT to me directly. I mean it this time.
