Song titles that describe the process of moving to a new office
Finding new office space is rarely described as an entirely enjoyable activity. It can start out fun–it’s a chance to see what kinds of different spaces are out there–but can often turn in to an overwhelming, time-consuming process.
How does the whole search usually go? We put together some song titles that (we think) describe it from start to finish; beginning with the decision of whether or not you want to move, all the way to the feeling of relief when you find what you’re looking for.
If anything, it makes a pretty good work playlist.
Here’s how the story goes:
Something has to change; your office space just isn’t working anymore. Could you make it through with a simple reconfiguration or is it time to see what options are out there?

Okay it’s definitely time to move. Now what?

You’ve started to look up office space on your own but it has turned into a full time job on top of your full time job.
