My Blue Heaven

The big move

Just found out today (though I had already gotten wind of this yesterday) that our entire company will be moving to a new location out in the suburbs, as of next year. Apparently our lease expires in 2006, and as we are unable to afford the pricey locations in the city, they’ve decided to move us out to Rhodes Waterside (a new suburb currently undergoing construction). Apparently it’ll be quite a nice location – water views, parks, new shopping centre & cinema complex, cafes & restaurants etc, containing both residential & commercial areas.

When I first heard the news, I was pretty shocked (I think chagrin is an appropriate word) – move OUT of the city!? NOOOooooooo….. But now, having been informed about the location and surrounding facilities, it doesn’t seem quite so bad. I’m still a bit bummed about moving out of the city, and it’s conveniences (eg meeting people, shopping & many other available services to choose from, lunchtime dance classes, after work classes at the Con and Syd Dance Co etc). But, the new location looks like it’ll have most of the things I need. And it’ll be a brand spankin’ new building and suburb too! Oh yeh, and it’s only about 10 mins from my house!!! 😛

So yeh. I guess nothing is forever. Things are bound to change – like your work location – which I realised is quite a large part of your life when you’re hit with a big change like this. It’s a while to go yet – the move won’t start until next year, September 2005. Here’s a press release about it on our company website (which I just finished uploading) – http://aap.com.au/company-updates.asp. Here’s an artists impression of what our office building will look like:
