Woes of Bad (property) Management

I was scheduled to have the presses moved over to the new shop tomorrow. I say "was" because at about four thirty this afternoon the state elevator commission shut down the freight elevator in the old shop's building for a code violation.

Evidently it only lifts 4000 pounds, when it should lift 5000 pounds.

Now what happens? We wait until some red tape is unwound and a variance is administered on that particular elevator to "re-certify" it as a 4000 pound elevator. I may be able to have a state elevator inspector come and supervise the move but who knows when one of these guys will be available on the same day as the movers.

I don't know what to do but sigh deeply and try to stop the pounding headache this has caused.
