It’s Moving Day
Posted on Friday, December 18, 2009 by Frank RocheWe’re relocating our office from Rittenhouse Square to Old City in Philadelphia. And with all plans, there’s a wrinkle. We reserved 4 parking spots in front of the office for a moving truck. Guess where the only car is that didn’t respect the parking zone? Right in the middle.
Here’s my HR lesson for the day: People who don’t pay attention shouldn’t be working in your organization. There’s a bright red DO NOT PARK sign right in front of the car of the person who chose to ignore it. Wonder how they’ll like the impound lot in North Philly.

Happy moving day Frank. I think you should all run out there as a group, pick up the car, and hide it somewhere. It’d be cool if it were that easy.

Trish, it’s crazy. We do have enough strong guys to pick up that car. It’s a G20…I’m thinking of turning it sideways.

Oh, no! I’m sorry to hear there’s a wrench in the works! Best of luck getting that car out of there!

Ugh…the police came, but they can’t tow it because it’s a private company that tows…so, it’s right in the middle. Moving truck is here now…this is crazy.

Moving on up to the East Side? Congratulations Mr Jefferson. Sorry about the G20 …. perhaps if there is no air in the tires the police might tow it as an abandoned vehicle?
Merry Christmas to you all!

I hope you at least inconvenienced that person a little. Maybe block them in so that they had to wait for you.

Rich, um, we didn’t do anything but get them a parking ticket. Believe me, I had plenty of devious thoughts, non of which I acted on.
