<p>When we move around at work, we put all of our belongings into moving boxes and tag them. We then tag our monitors, keyboards, mouse, computer tower, and phone. I personally tag my chair because I like it and I tag my trash can also (don’t laugh - I’ve seen some broken trash cans and I like that mine is solid!). We put a number on each tag - like location 6. Then where we are moving to, our new desk will have a number - like location 6. Then the next morning the movers come and move all of our stuff that we numbered as say location 6 over to desk location 6 and we unpack when we get there. I guess it’s a little different if you are moving from one building to another but its usually not very strenuous. </p>
<p>That being said, I wouldn’t feel offended if you asked. You don’t know if you don’t ask… I actually like the idea of saying “with the move coming up on friday and monday it might be nice if we could wear casual clothes that make it easier for us to move around in.” or something like that… Rather then “can i dress down on friday and monday?”</p>
