And I am home.
and I have good news. Remember all those request for office vibes? Here's the story: Toyland is closing and the institute is moving the work to another office in another city; I've been the only employee left on payroll and call, although all I've done for the past year is check in about once aweek to insure there are no breakins or problems, and use the office when I've needed a workspace outside my home. I've not submitted an invoice to the institute since March 2011, but I'm working with another foundation, and I have no complaints. So, knowing the lease expires on July 31, I thought, what if I could get the office for my team to use for music copying, theatre restoration, and other jobs?
The lease is now signed and I am staying there. Toyland will move out and the New Princess Theatre Company will move in. I'm hoping we can purchase some of the office furniture and equipment from the Institute, and that's still in the air. I can't imagine they'd want to hold onto it, since all they really need are our computer files. So, thank you all for the positive vibes.
