Instead of an article writing or marketing tip/lesson today, I thought I’d share some behind-the-scenes hammering, sawing and construction action going on outside of my office:

We’re adding another 521 sq. ft. addition to our current office to make room for an editorial team expansion project to be completed in about 3 weeks.

Right now our editorial team members are spread out in (4) separate offices of 2-5 people per room and it’s hard to get a sense of unity/congruency in separate offices.

Next week we’ll be wiring this room with Cat5 (no, editors don’t need Cat6 gigabit ethernet) for Internet access, replacing the ugly blue-light fluorescents with half-moon incandescent sconces on the walls, whiteboards, and custom desks that we’re investigating new ways to innovate to get more of what we want in ergonomics without paying a bundle for it.

Downsides to this new room is that it’ll be a bit noisier than each of the small offices that our editors are in now, but most of our editors have headphones on during the day and we’re looking into ways to add sound absorption things into the room.

Another added benefit of this new editorial team room is the proximity to the free lunch room just down the hall. About 85% of our team eats here at the office and this saves time, money for the editor and helps them to keep up with your incoming article submissions.

Cheers and success.

Well, I missed this week’s menu, but I’m there for next week. Set a place for me, would you? I’ll bring a beer for each of you, too!

Looks like EA is headed for one of the best places to work in America. How exciting to watch your brainchild grow and blossom.

Congratulations! I just wish I got in on the adsense model before you did. :)

Thanks…but I’d hardly call it my brainchild as this is a team effort project… :) and I’m not just talking about the people on our payroll, but everyone who tells us what they want EzineArticles to be is on the team… at least from a “shaping of the clay” perspective.

I feel the same way Rajkumar!

I don’t know for how long I’m going to continue participating of this blog though, because I have to write another ebook…

Chris…

Seeing your bricks and mortar provides me with an even greater sense of confidence in what you are doing. Having one foot in the “old world”, much of what I try to cope with in cyberland seems so ethereal. And I can definitely identify with turkey and mashed potatoes.

My kids decided we neede more living space, and since I don’t sleep anyway, the decided to take that from the (my) bedroom. So they pulled the wall behind my office, to move it partially into my bedroom and rebuild the wall. They forgot the wall sockets and TWO light switches. So at the moment, until I can take five and rewire, I have electrical cords hanging over my head…

But the framing on the new wall is in, and it all pretty much fits the new space. We have some AWESOME new space!
