19 Nov StealthCo Update: Buildout Nearly Done, Furniture Starts Arriving, And A Surprise
Today I can confirm the reality of the old adage:
“It always takes longer than you think it will take.”
New furniture arrives at StealthCo offices.
As many of you know, I started working with StealthCo back in August. By the end of September, we had identified the location for our first “official” headquarters, negotiated and signed the lease for the space, and demolition work had begun. Our goal: To move in within six weeks.
Now, we’re at 7-plus weeks, which still is super, super fast for a 7,000-square-foot mixed use space of office and warehouse that was totally trashed when we began.
And the space is coming along quite nicely — (“Thank you, very much”) — but it’s still taking longer than we had originally been told, so that’s a smidge frustrating. That’s in spite of the fact that I KNEW (logically) IT WOULD TAKE LONGER THAN WE WERE BEING TOLD.
Oh well, this is just another example of where stressing about stuff doesn’t help get things done faster.
But . . . it’s all starting to take shape (as shown in the photos below).
The boxes of furniture have arrived and are being assembled.

Once the furniture is put together, it’s easy to see things starting to take shape within the StealthCo offices . . . like our main reception area.

Yeah, it’s still not done, but it’s getting there. {FYI: The Reception Desk is missing in these two shots, the carpet tiles are only temporary, and clearly most of the walls are blank . . . today.}
But the main Conference Room table and chairs are in place, so that’s a plus.
StealthCo’s main conference room table has arrived — Yippee!
And the StealthCo kitchenette is nearly done.

The new brand for StealthCo — our “mark.”
Anyone want to take a guess as to the new name of StealthCo? I welcome your thoughts.
P.S. No fair guessing (or sharing here) if you’re one of the few people already “in the know.” 😉
