Crowded

Growing a business is fun...

Seems like a lot of hard work to me.  I'd rather chase a wet stick around a muddy park all day but there you go, there's no accounting for taste in you humans.

So let me correct meself.  According to me human Renee, growing a business is fun.  And I have to admit, she's very good at it.  In three short years she's built her business from zero to... well I don't know how many off paw, but it's a lot of clients.

That's pretty good going and she still manages to take me for me walks of a morning, lunch time and evening, which I very much appreciate.

The thing is though, growing a business is fun, but it ain't without the occasional challenge.

Take our office for instance.  A very nice office it is, light, airy and pretty efficient, too.  The fact that the two front windows act like an oven when the sun shines on them and heat the place up like a microwave is neither here nor there.  Doesn't effect me much, but then I usually have a nap in the pm... which is a much under-rated pass time by you humans.

Anyway, our office.  There are six desks.  Great.  There are also six people working here, too.  Brilliant!  Ah, but there's Renee and me other human Richard, as well.  It gets mighty crowded when they're all in the office together.  I mean I hardly have room to stretch out and a friendly swish of me tail can cause havoc.

So, what's to be done?

Well, Renee could stop recruiting new clients.  Hmmm... the words snowball and hell spring to mind.  We get two people sat sitting at each desk.  Nope, not really an option, either, they'd be friendly but it would be none too efficient.

Or we could find a second place!  Do you know I really think I've hit on a master plan.  Sometimes me genius astounds even meself.

Now, Renee will tell you she's been looking for a new place for a while and that may be the case.  But now I'm on the case.  If any of you lovely people out there in Small Business World know of a retail property for rent or sale in Stockbridge, Edinburgh (about 700 - 100 square feet) jump on Facebook Tax Assist West Edinburgh (http://www.facebook.com/AccountantsEdinburgh?ref=hl) and let Renee know...

But be sure to tell her it's because of me.  I'm sure to get an extra slice of chicken for me tea.
