Lup HQ Makeover, Step 6--Managing Expectations

I told Jessica on Monday that I was determined to have this place in tip top shape by Friday.  Well, it's now Thursday night, we have to cut out for an event soon, and we're a long way from done.  We have however, made enormous progress.  After several hours of listening to drills and the strange arguing of men speaking in a bizarre mix of Spanish and Russian, our amazing new Ikea shelf is up and running, we've added the little detachable desk to our existing Expedit shelf, and the boxes that have been towering around us for days are slowly being itemized and packed behind the frosted glass doors of their new home (before making their way to influential editors, costume designers and set decorators).   We've  started to see the light at the end of the tunnel to the degree that we've declared that it will become somebody's job to stock the office with fresh flowers on a weekly basis so as to inspire our creative energy.  After another run to Ikea this afternoon, we have only one more major shelf to be built, some mirrors and magnetic boards to be hung and some (seemingly never-ending!) organizing to do and, thanks to a lot of hard work, destroyed manicures, snagged nylons and the visionary talents of Miss Randi Molofsky, we'll be working in our newly well-appointed space!
