The time I went to the other building

So B1 owns our office building as well as another building down the street. When I was hired, it was mentioned that part of my job would be to help organize the other building and perhaps convert it to more office space. I was taken over in my second week.

When I got in, I was not prepared for what I saw!...I do not think anything could have prepared me. The heating was not on to save money as the building is on this side of abandoned. The one room had industrial shelving with broken and out dated equipment…shelves and shelves. Some of their friends had put some other things in there – motorcycle, couches. B1 had started to renovate to create a second floor but basically just had a stairway with a doorway to nothing…like the escalator to heaven where people fall off at the end…only this was stairs so you have to work at falling to your death.

I believe that words and words expressed in text form will constantly fail me with this blog which could be it’s undoing but here it goes.

The sight I saw in last room was amazing – not in the WOW way but in the you are stunned way. The room has a 20 ft ceiling. This room was filled to the ceiling with cardboard boxes…EMPTY cardboard boxes; not flattened, full size cardboard boxes.

It seems B1 does not like to get rid of boxes, just in case anything has to be returned one day…some of the boxes were 10 years old…none of those warranties are good anymore but we still have the never broken down box….just in case.

Sadly, none of the treasures in this second building can be thrown out, including those boxes so the part of my job that was to help move some of the business over there has been put on hiatus.
