Source material given with the request

Questions from the channel this week: - "When are we moving?" (asked 9 times) - "What's the new address?" - "Do we get parking at the new place or is it reimbursed?" - "What day do we actually switch buildings?" - "Can I keep my monitor and chair?" - "Is the old office open the week of the move?" What we know (from Facilities, Oct 21): - Move date: Monday, January 11. Last day in the old office is Friday, January 8. - New address: 410 Wharf Street, 5th floor. - Monitors move with you; label them by Jan 7. Chairs stay, the new office has new ones. - Old office is closed Jan 11 onward. - Parking: Facilities is still comparing a garage contract against a reimbursement. Decision expected Nov 10.
