I'm Talkin' Downtown

Big news from Servicemaster. They've announced where they're going to be moving to: downtown in the old Peabody Place (that getting-old feeling of realizing that you remember the opening of things that have been abandoned for years). I saw the news this morning on facebook upon waking up, apparently the story was leaked and in the news last night. There was a big even where all the real employees were bused downtown to get the news in an announcement from the president (and there were apparently a bunch of politicians and shit there too...us lowly contractors didn't get to go, however). Mafaz did bring back a shirt for me that says ServiceMaster ♥ 901, though the only shirts left were XXL so it'll be too big, but whatever. It's pretty exciting about the move downtown. I figured when they moved they'd move out east. Also Atlanta and Phoenix were on the table (though most people were pretty sure those suggestions were just bargaining chips with the city). And the move is gonna happen much sooner than I would have expected, at least in part. Some people with "innovations" will be on the first floor and very visible to the outside and such. They'll be moving in less than a year, in March. The rest (which will probably include me if I'm still around) will move in December of 18. Lots more work needs to be done on the upper stories. My relatively good mood of the day was a bit hampered by a piece of mail from my landlord jacking up the rent yet again. At least I got something decent in the mail: John Douglas & Brian Gascoigne: Crack in the World / Phase IV soundtracks on a cd.
